Course History:

This great little executive course was designed by Fred Bliss. It's a par 31 that stretches out nicely giving you just enough room without being too daunting. This is a great course if you just want a quick round of golf.

What You Need to Know:

You can book your tee time by calling the pro shop. We recommend a few days ahead of time since this is a popular course. You'll want to wear standard golf attire, but the course isn't terribly stuffy about that. What this course is really known for are its practice facilities which are simply incredible.

They offer a swing recorder and the 52 stall driving range is fantastic. There is a reason that this facility is ranked in the top 100. They are currently adding new turf to the range and the expected renovations should be completed shortly. In addition to the range there is also a short game practice center.

The pro shop is very well stocked and offers plenty of gift ideas for every golfer. They offer custom fitting for clubs as well as the ability to order any line of clubs that you may be looking for. Hands down, this is definitely one of the best nine hole courses in the entire area and the staff is incredibly friendly. We highly recommend this course.

Playing Hints:

The first hole is very straightforward, if a bit long. You'll really want to give this a hard shot off the tee if you want to birdie it. There is a slight slope to the green on this hole so putt with care.

The second hole looks easy at first, but watch out for the rough right off the tee. One bad swing and you can really ruin your score. By the time you get to the green you'll want to keep an eye on the bunkers to the right. The third hole is even tougher with more rough to contend with. Give this one a very hard shot off the tee to clear the rough spots.

The fourth hole offers a great water hazard in front of the green. We recommend a nine iron for your second shot to make it to the green. The fifth hole can be described as hop scotch. You'll have to make it across to the island fairways, cross a creek and then get across even more rough to reach the green. It can be done in two shots with the right strategy.

The problem repeats itself on the eighth hole where nothing but rough separates you from the green. Aim to the right to get to the first island fairway and then really give it a good shot to get on the green from there.

Peacock Gap Golf Course
Website: https://www.peacockgapgc.com/golf/index.html

Course History:

The course was designed in 1959 by William F. Bell. The course underwent reconstruction and renovation in 2006 which is currently being completed. The course is over 6200 yards in length and is currently a Par 71.

The rating for Peacock Gap is 70 and the largest green is 7,640 square feet. Numerous changes were made to the course during the reconstruction, such as refreshing the greens and adding new features. You can get a complete list of the changes on their website.

Numerous videos are available on their site to give you a first hand glimpse of the course. They also feature some of their pros with some great tips. On a fun note, the course has a resident "Goose Dog" named Hannah that keeps the course clear of geese.

What You Need to Know:

The course management has instituted the following codes of conduct that must be observed by all players:

"To provide our members and guests a proper golf environment, Peacock Gap Country Club is introducing a dress code for all golfers, whether  playing or practicing.

The following items are restricted: T-shirts, Denim, Sweat Pants, Gym  shorts, Metal spikes, Tank tops, Fatigues, and Spandex."

Tournaments are frequently held on site and the course offers numerous amenities. Whether you are booking your own tournament or looking forward to attending one at the club in the future, you are sure to be taken care of well. We've included information below for those who would like to learn more about this option.

Lessons are available on site from their pros, and you can email them directly using the information we included at the end of this review. The state of the art practice facility is terrific and offers plenty of opportunities to hone your game or just have a little fun.

To register your tee time, please call ahead. The course does not offer an online tee time reservation service at this time.

Playing Hints:

The second hole looks easy, but you're really going to need to watch where you put your shot here. It needs to be placed a little left of center if you want to have an easy shot to the green.

Hole number seven is a short par four, but don't let this fool you. You'll still need to use a good bit of strategy and really focus on where you place your ball if you want to birdie here.

The eleventh hole is incredibly narrow, so once again, careful aim is the key to success. This course is truly one for those who need to practice setting their ball just perfectly on the fairway.
