Colony Creek Country Club

The golf : The feel to this course is that of European links, with strong winds and open greens that allow for just about any type of shot on your approach. Water comes into play on 15 holes, and you'll need accuracy off the tee to keep the ball in the tight fairways. Your best bet to score well here is to gear up for the five par 3s, which are some of the easier holes on the course. The 354-yard, par 4 No. 7 is listed as the number one handicap.
