Challenger Course

An 18-hole par-64 course with a rating of 61.2 and a slope of 104. 

Although smaller, at 4145 yards, compared to the Championship course, this course is challenging, nonetheless.

There are water hazards in the form of a lake on the 15th, 16th, and 17the holes, and a meandering creek that comes into play in even more holes; but not as much as the bigger course.

The fairways are narrower and the layout can be a bit confusing for someone new. Accuracy is important here.

As there are no par-5s on this course, this course would be a good option for seniors and beginners as well for experienced golfers who want a quick round of golf.

The amenities and facilities available for this course are the same as the Championship Course too.

Cheaper than the bigger course, the rates here are $26 for the morning tee times and $14 for the afternoons.
