The cornerstone of the 54 hole complex at Grand National is the Links Course, which is without a single weakness. The par-four 18th is without a doubt the strongest finishing hole on the Trail. The drive must carry a corner of the Lake, while the approach is played to a shallow pedestal green shored up by boulders.
The Links Course was named the second best new public course of 1993, and ranked fifth best in state in 1997 by Golf Digest. Grand National has also been the host for a few outstanding touraments including the LPGA Tournament of Champions in 1998 on the Lake Course, while the Links Course hosted the NIKE Tour Championship in 1997.
