A bizarre Battlestar Galactica–esque clubhouse overlooks this something-for-everyone roadside attraction of a golf experience: 54 holes of championship golf, an executive course, a driving range and a minigolf course. The East course is hilly on the front nine and makes a brief foray into the woods on the back. Though you may grow weary of the many short dogleg par fours, the East does offer some pretty holes, including the 538-yard eighth, which is itself almost worth the green fees. Here, the fairway rises to a plateau from which you can see the green down below. Tucked behind a pond 230 yards away, it’s calling you, tempting you, begging you to go for it: don’t listen. The West is the flattest course this side of Saskatchewan. You’ll find two elevated tees (one and four) and an ever-so-slightly elevated green on number nine. Watch out for many large ponds and an oak tree right in the middle of the seventh fairway. (Architects who put a tree in the fairway should be strung up from its highest branch, for there is no cry as piteous as that of the weekend duffer who finally launches a straight tee ball only to find it stymied.) The West saves its best for last: the dramatic 512-yard, par five 18th doglegs around an enormous lake that stretches down the left side of the fairway, almost from tee to green. The Kettle Creek executive course is worth a spin if you’re honing your short irons or want to take the kids out to play. Course conditioning is a bit spotty for the price. The newest course, Redcrest, opened in 2009.
