Description
Description updated 2020
Take the Mallards Rest exit and take a sharp left onto the road bordering the fence. Enter the gate and the walk from the parking lot to the first tee is about 7 minutes. Follow the trail that wraps around the drainage ditch and past the large cottonwood. There is a turn that drops down and to the rivers edge, but keep going and the first tee is on the bluff, throwing over the first set of cottonwoods and into the woods beyond. From there, the first 12 holes play through the woods and plains before you go into the woods and back out. Slightly technical with some par 4s and long par 3s with prescribed routes.
Notes are added here to help navigate
