-
Four is the one easy par-4 on this front nine, unless you drift a bit right. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/04/2022
-
The look at Portland West is pure parkland and well-groomed. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/04/2022
-
Six: After a thunderstorm, this challenging par-4 looked amost eerie at 3 pm. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/04/2022
-
Greenside view of six: The darkened look, however, was all but gone less than five minutes later. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/04/2022
-
From the tee, the eighth does not appear at all like a charming little par-3. And it isn’t. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/04/2022
-
10th, par-4, 368: On the uphill approach, you may choose to use the bounce from the green’s left side, but not the right. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/18/2022

11th, par-3, 159: It’s fairly clear where you can’t afford to miss this green. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/18/2022
-
The 177-yard 12th demands a superior approach if you hope to end up anywhere near the pin. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/18/2022
-
Fifteen, a short, uphill par-3, provides a breather after the three tough holes that precede it. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/18/2022
-
Sixteen is an attractive drive-and-pitch par-4 offering a birdie opportunity. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 05/18/2022

Nine: Another excellent par-4 that doglegs to the right and ends on a double-green shared with the eighteenth hole. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 10/28/2021

Hole two: Deep greenside bunker will demand lofted shot to escape. Shades of Winged Foot West. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/25/2020
-
Behind the ninth: This is undoubtedly the toughest hole on the front side, its landing zone between ponds. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/25/2020
-
Twelve: My favorite hole on the course, and a brute of a short-par three (Wait, is that possible?). Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/25/2020
-
Thirteen: Handsome par-three gives your ball a choice if your approach is short: Grass bunker or sand? Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/25/2020
-
Splendid scenery at the long par-3 fourteenth. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 08/25/2020
-

-
At two, you'll find an accessible short par-3 with a nicely contoured green, set on a small rise. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2020
-
Five: this green is perched on a sizeable plateau, although it's hard to see from this angle. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2020
-
Six: a classic mid-length par-4 with abundant hazards to pester you. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2020
-
Behind the elevated sixth green; its offset fairway lies in the background; the approach traverses frontal bunkers. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2020

This hole brings to mind several Donald Ross par threes I've played. My favorite on the front. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2020

Signature touch? Architect Al Zikorus created this double green for holes 9 & 18, incorporating the use of a large pond for both holes. Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 06/05/2020

18: a classic finisher: long 4-par to double green Photo submitted by AptlyLinked on 11/27/2019
Nice course for an executive course however it played very slow
Usually this is a nice short course - First 4 holes are very simple about 100 yards straight but then the course does get a little interesting. However I played on a Saturday this time and it played so slow. Waiting on every hole at least 5 minutes.
