Welcome

The tees and greens utilize artificial turf in order to avoid using toxic materials in this sensitive area and to provide a longer playing season.

The two most common expressions used when people visit the course are, "WOW" and "AWESOME".

• Because it is located entirely on land classified by the U S Army Corp of Engineers as wetlands it took seven and one half years to get the required permits to build the course.
• It is set in the most beautiful setting of any golf course in the world.
• Because of the salmon and trout rearing streams on the course.
• Because the course is a links style course.
• Because the area is undergoing "isostatic glacial rebound", which means the area is rising about 0.9 inches per year in relation to sea level because of glacial melting and decreased weight pushing the earth's crust down into the magma.
• Because of the environmentally sensitive nature of the area, pesticides and herbicides will not be used.
• Because moose and bears frequent the area even though it is uncommon to actually see them but their tracks are seen daily.
• Because of environmental considerations the course will never have perfect grass fairways and greens.
