Ross Roger Municipal East Golf Course

Ross Rogers offers two basic, 18-hole courses of similar design, referred to as the East and West courses. For over 50 years the course has been the site of the annual Budweiser Partnership Tournament, a low ball/low total match play event that draws visitors from all over the area.

The East Course, originally a 9-hole track but expanded to 18 holes in 1981, features generous fairways, flat greens of average speed, and three small lakes. Holes of note are the par 3 No. 6, which forces a carry over water to an elevated green, and No. 12, which offers a lake cutting into the fairway that can only be carried with a drive over 200 yards.

Holes 15-17 provide a tough stretch of golf with two long par 4s and a difficult par 3. However, No. 18 offers a chance for birdie with a 483-yard par 5 with a dogleg right that can shorten the hole even more.

Getting there : From I-40 east, take I-87 north to 24th Street. Turn left and the course is 1 mile down on the right.
