Course Overview

Early in the round, Battle Creek Golf Course mixes gentle doglegs with uphill and downhill approaches. Penalty areas come into play near greens and along fairways, and drop areas are set near 8, 12, and 18. Greens vary in size and include false fronts and tiers, so approach height and landing spots matter as much as line.

Elevation shapes decisions throughout. On corners, your choice is lay up to a flat yardage or press for the angle. Several par 5s reward a bold drive but punish misses with trees or water. Ground play works on firm slopes into some greens, while others ask for a high shot to hold a tier. Safe sides are clear if you read the hazards before pulling a club.

How to Score Here

On par 5s, map your layup yardage first, then pick a side that opens the green on 2, 7, 10, and 16. Mention yardage only when you can hold the tier.
Play to safe sides around the ravine on 12 and the marsh on 18, a missed green in the correct spot saves par.
Use elevation on approaches. Flight it high into front tiers, chase low shots into back pins when slopes allow.
Corners on 4, 5, and 13 reward placement. Favor angle over maximum distance at the bend on Battle Creek Golf Course.
