Course Notes: Hardest Aspects: —-Long Par 3s: The course features several challenging par 3s, including Hole #3 at 205 yards and Hole #12 at 209 yards from the black tees. These holes demand accurate club selection and precise ball striking. —-Fast, Sloped Greens: Reviews consistently note that the greens “roll fast but true” and feature subtle breaks that “seem like a straight shot then surprise you”. The greens are described as “the defense of this course”. —-Afternoon Bay Winds: “Playing holes headed South are typically downwind, so you’ll pick up a few extra yards on your drive and shots. Shots going north are going to be into the wind. The wind can get heavy especially in the afternoon”. For less windy conditions, morning rounds are recommended. —-Hole #2 - #1 Handicap: At 421 yards from the black tees, this long par 4 demands a solid drive and precise approach to navigate successfully. ——————————————— Easiest Aspects: —-Wide Open Fairways: Multiple reviews emphasize the generous landing areas: “wide open fairways” that “allow room to miss left and right” and “allow you to make mistakes and learn how to scramble”. —-Four Par 5s: Unusual for a par-70 layout, Poplar Creek features four par 5s, providing “a lot of scoring opportunities”. Most are “reachable in two shots” for longer hitters. —-Flat, Walkable Layout: The relatively flat terrain makes the course “easy to walk” and comfortable for golfers who prefer to carry or push their bags. —-Beginner/Intermediate Friendly: Reviewers consistently recommend the course for “beginner and intermediate golfers” as a place to “learn on” and “work on your game”.
