The ninth is undoubtedly one of the prettiest holes in Southwest Michigan. A smattering of trees defines the right and left sides, and the fairway simply slopes down toward the hole once the hill is cleared. When you crest the hill, take a moment and enjoy one of the best views on the course.

While this hole tempts many to go for it in two, it also features one of the best-protected greens on the course. Four large bunkers line the hill down the left side, while the pond and a large willow threaten on the right side.

PRO TIPS

Hit driver to the left side of the fairway, which slopes to the right. From there, you can lay up with a short iron or go for it through the opening in the trees. Eagles are possible, but bogies are more likely if you try to get home in two.
