The Golf Course is an 18-hole championship mountain-style course designed by renowned architect Jim Fazio and opened in 1995. The course has more than 40 acres of wetlands that provides sanctuary for all kinds of wildlife, including deer, bear, fox, coyote, etc. and thousands of birds, including bald eagles.
