PINE GLEN
The Pine Glen course is an 18-hole par three that uses the mountain backdrops, natural rock outcroppings and plentiful aged oaks and sycamores to add character to a fun layout. This is not the conventional par three - as water hazards and strategically placed bunkers provide some challenge. With holes ranging from 100 - 200 yards in length, Pine Glen does present an ideal setting for beginners, families and those seeking an enjoyable experience. It also is the perfect pace for avid golfers to practice their short game skills!
Pine Glen is a local favorite - it presents an ideal venue for golfers visiting the Golf Academy - as they try to put their lessons to work in a non-intimidating environment.
