| COURSE NOTES |
CHGC is a par 3 set in the hills of northwest Michigan. The course is set in in woodlands with open open meadows and whitetail deer and wild turkeys are not uncommon sites. The terrain changes should provide a challenge to most links golfers. Enjoy and thanks for your time.

Concept 8/10
Make this course a candidate for your next party game! With broad greens, huge elevations, a modicum of in-game music and no small number of Easter Eggs, it really is one of the better Par 3 courses. And despite this, the course never loses its country club charm or its sense of realism. Probably one of the best courses that you have not heard of. |
Appearance 7/10
The planting shows a delightful touch, and the nature of the elevations means that great views are afforded in several areas of the course. But, then again, the textures are a mite garish, the transitions virtually non-existent, and you suspect the designer hasn't put his all into the slightly bizarre custom touches. But it's still a pleasure to look upon. |
Playability 6/10
Many people might turn against the course when they hear background music on the first tee. Those that don't will be in for a pleasant mix of holes, maximising use of the elevation. Like all Par 3 courses, though, it struggles against becoming same-y. An uphill hole; a downhill hole; and you've pretty much seen it all. The designer does his best by mixing up the hole lengths, but this sort of course is remarkably hard to plug away with. |
Challenge 5/10
The capaciousness of the greens, and the unintimidating hazarding (I don't think I was in a bunker all round) hardly makes for a great threat. One or two greens border on the difficult, but mostly this is a course that will allow you to come away with a handful of birdies. |
Technical 6/10
Although this construction is by no means perfect, there are no errors that would spoil your round. OK, in retrospect, one would probably call for a lighter touch with the sound planting, some decent texture blends, and a removal of the extrusion marks around the greens, but any inexperience the designer might have is well covered by the nature of the course, which shows off flair to best advantage. |
| Overall |
A likeable Par 3 course with some rollicking elevations working to its advantage. |
