About the Course
Designed for Golf Lovers
Golf is just part of the package at Coachman’s Golf Resort. The resort was designed for people who just want to play a good game of golf. Twenty-Seven holes of golf tempt guests with the opportunity to play golf course from the back door of their hotel rooms. Provided, of course, they check in with the starter first.
Golf at Coachman’s
Although the accommodations and reasonable rates attract people to the resort, it’s the golf that brings them back. Coachman’s Golf Resort will never host a U.S. Open-there isn’t a high degree of difficulty on any of the nines-but that, too, is by design.
After clearing the pond-which, no doubt, snares it’s share of sliced tee shots- an accurate second shot is required to a green guarded by mature trees on three sides.
The aforementioned pond must also be considered when teeing it up on the fourth hole. As on the fifth, the pond looms to the right, where an errant tee shot is likely to get wet. The fourth and fifth holes are the most intriguing on the Red nine, which is the shortest, at 2,973 yards from the back tees, and the easiest of the three nines at Coachman’s.
The White nine, at 3,211 yards, is the most challenging of the three. Holes No. 11 through No.14 create a demanding stretch where a variety of golf shots present themselves on back to back par 5s, followed by par 4s that dogleg left and right. The 13th and 14th holes also are heavily wooded and each has a pond that comes into play.
No. 13, at 354 yards from the back tees, requires an accurate tee shot to the bend, then a second shot to the green set back in the woods. An unseen pond sits to the left of the green and a large tree guards the right side. The 348-yard 14th hole doglegs around a pond on the right side and also has mature trees on both sides of the fairway.
The 18th hole, a 180-yard par 3, takes you back to your waiting room and the resort’s other amenities.
The Blue nine, at 3,147 yards from the back tees, is the most recent addition to the resort. Located on the northside of State Highway 51, it is accessible only through tunnels that take golfers under the highway and also under County Highway W to holes six through nine.
The Blue nine has some interesting holes, made more intriguing by a meandering creek that forces players whether to let it rip or lay up. For example, the 476-yard, par 5 fourth hole.
The Blues finish strong east of Highway W. The first hole after passing through the tunnel is No.6, a 265-yard par 4 from an elevated tee. Next is a 501-yard, uphill par 5, followed by the 378-yard No. 8, a 90 degree dogleg left which creates another dilemma — whether to cut the corner, and, if the answer is yes, by how much. The decision would be much easier if not for a single row of tall trees along the left side up to the corner just waiting to knock down any balls not well hit.
Available golf plans include the Scotsman package, which is offered Sunday through Thursday. It includes one night’s stay, two days of unlimited golf, breakfast or lunch and one cocktail per person.
