𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐍𝐨. 𝟕𝟐 - 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐨𝐮 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐆𝐨𝐥𝐟 𝐂𝐥𝐮𝐛
𝐃𝐚𝐲: 8/17 Beautiful Sunny ☀️ summer day
𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐞𝐫: Arnold Palmer 🍹 ☂️ 1995
𝐅𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐞(𝐬): 4️⃣ Really cool elevation here -Par 4 - much different than first 3 holes. 8️⃣🤩 Signature hole (Par 5) and it’s obvious why. Really dramatic downhill hole from the highest point of the course (Great photo 📸 spot). Views of Manitou Passage, North Manitou Island and lighthouse. No. 1 handicap hole for both men and women.
𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬: Loved this retreat into the meadows, trees, views of Manitou Passage and great elevation changes. I never knew this course existed and it’s beautiful. Saw turkeys 🦃, Chipmunks 🐿️ and a ton of Monarch butterflies 🦋. The Arnies Grill room had a lot of great historic photos of players esp Palmer. The course was in excellent shape. There are really long winding cart paths with a ton of elevation change. Felt like a nature ride though the woods. There was so much contrast here I loved how different all the holes were - from forest 🌳 lined- to wetlands, downhill holes and some open holes. A ton of variety. I recommend a visit. The fall would be especially pretty. 🍁 🍂 🍃
𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐝: Played pretty well here - had a lot of Pars 🙌🏼- no birdies
𝐀𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐬: 2010 Golf weeks BEST new courses - Considered Arnold “Signature” course.
𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭-𝐑𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝: Burger 🍔 and Arnold Palmer on the 18th green Terrace. Really fun to watch some friends finish that I unexpectedly ran into here. ❤️
