An absolutely gorgeous course that is particularly inviting because of its short length, Lake Fork Golf Club features narrow fairways, medium-sized greens, and a welcome lack of bunkers.
While there are no bunkers, grass moguls frame the fairways, and the course is dotted with small ponds, four of which front greens. In addition to the many mature areas of foliage, the club planted over 4,000 new trees, including thousands of crape myrtles, in the late 1990s.
Two par 3s stand out–both Nos. 2 and 14 demand accurate long-iron approaches.
For course strategy, take the advice of one local who recommended his life-long strategy of choking down and shortening the swing, emphasizing the importance of hitting them straight on this short course
Getting there : Located approximately 8 miles from Emory. Take 515 to 2946, then turn left and drive 3 miles. The course is on the right.
