Private club near Utica. Too many trees they need to take out a couple thousand. Fairways are tree lined chutes with big trees overhanging the fairways and smaller trees planted in awkward spots narrowing the landing areas from the tee unnecessarily and approaches to greens. Bunkering is also basic. Not deep all look the same often one on each side of the green not really strategic. Three of the 4 par 3’s are either pushing 200 yards or are 200 plus. Course plays harder than yardage. It’s a great piece of land and could be a really could course but it needs a big dollar renovation and that’s not likely. That all being said most golfers would likely enjoy playing this course but it could be so much better
