Four Winds Golf Course

About Four Winds Golf Course:

FOUR WINDS GOLF COURSE was designed to be enjoyed by the individual golfer regardless of his or her ability, and to be as challenging as one desires. With five sets of tees, 5,400 yards (Red) as the shortest, and 6,903 yards (Silver) as the Championship course, the golfer may make his or her own choice. If one selects the Silver Course, please keep in mind that not only the distance is greater but accuracy also becomes a factor.

Once the ball is on the green, the speed and slope of the green's surface becomes the immediate problem. The entire 320 acres on which the course is built slopes, by nature, from south to north, from Interstate 80 toward Historic Lincoln Highway. The highest elevation of the Tees is at Hole 6, which is 4,800 feet above sea level. Directly north of #6, all the way across the golf course, the Tee for Hole 10, which is east of the Pro Shop, beyond the Scoreboard, just east of #9 Green, the elevation at this point is 4,706 feet above sea level, a drop of 94 feet from #6. Therefore, there is always the tendency for the greens to roll to the north, unless they have been built to do otherwise. The surfaces of our Greens will test the golfer's ability to read greens. The Bent Grass is mowed for a speed of about 10 on the Stimpmeter. If you are accustomed to greens with less speed than ten, our greens will seem fast to you. On the positive side, faster greens allow you to putt better, because of the shortened back stroke of the putter to achieve the same distance.
