mountain streams, ponds and spectacular scenery on this 27-hole

paradise and the many of the holes have been reconfigured over the
years, most recently by Tom Jackson. Although all three n Springdale Country Club,
located in Canton, was designed by Joseph Holmes in 1968 and has wide
fairways and bent grass greens. The golf course is a challenging
mountain track with plenty of variety. Play it all the way from the back

are relatively short at just under 3000 yards, you will find plenty of
challenges throughout your play. The Blue Ridge nine starts you
with a par 5. One of the original holes is 527 yards and is framed with
stately spruce trees and a creek up the left side. Your second hole on
this nine is pretty awesome as well with a drop of 100 feet to a green
184 yards away. Holes 3 through 8 give you plenty of challenge with
hills, valleys, creeks, ponds and sand traps. #9 brings you back to the
pro shop with the creek along the entire left side. If you hooked one
into it on #
1,
maybe you can find the ball coming back on #9. The Dogwood
course is similar to the Blue Ridge course even though it is the newest
of the nines. Some of the holes play side by side with the other
course. So expect that hills, valleys, creeks, ponds and sand trap
thing again. They both have 2 par 5’s with 3 par 3’s. This course is
the shortest of the nines, but also the narrowest. The Carolina
nine is the flattest of the three courses and a portion of it was part
of the original nine. Two ponds come into play as well as the stream on
four holes and the fairways are mostly straightaway. The only par 5 on
this side is a mere 462 yards with no fairway bunkers. Let it rip and
have fun. By the way, if you see any white squirrels, don’t think
you’re seeing things. They’re native to the area.
or
a long day. Play it from the front and the course is kinder and gentler.
Some fairways are narrow and bordered by woods; others are wide and more
forgiving. The back nine is more open than the front. You'll enjoy
driving the ball from some of the elevated tees. The greens are midsize
and sloped.
rds,
the course as been rated by Golfweek magazine as “One of
America’s Best and Southern Living lists it among their Top 50
Southern Resort Courses. The front nine is rather benign as it winds it
way through the valley. Use this as a warm-up, because the back nine
rises some 900 feet to some demanding roller-coaster holes. The # 1
handicap hole is the third and it is quite a tester with 458 yards in
length. Your drive on this dogleg left hole must avoid a creek and two
fairway bunkers and then an approach to a well-protected green. The
finishing hole at 556 yards challenges you with a creek crossing the
fairway twice as well as out-of-bounds stakes adding to the fun. No
matter how you finish, you will have a fun day.
