Golf Course Description

These two courses are located on the campus of Michigan State University. The East Course is the more playable course for all skill levels of golfer. The fairways are wider and not as hilly as the West Course, and the greens aren’t as severely undulating. Water hazards (a lake and a stream) come into play on four holes. The West Course has been considered as one of the best college courses in the country. There are a large number of hardwood trees on this course. Most of the greens are elevated, multi-tiered, or well bunkered. The fairways were built on rolling terrain and are also well bunkered. The rough, defining the fairways, is about two inches high, and water hazards come into play on seven holes. The scenery and plant life for the West Course is native to Michigan.
