Course description:
The course was built in 1990. This is a wonderful course to play. The terrain is predominantly flat, but there is some mounding which might cause an uneven lie. Most of the fairways on the front nine were much wider than those on the back nine. This is a long hitters dream course. The fairways are tree lined, so as long as you avoid them you should have no trouble scoring well. However, on the back nine, the course more than makes up for the relative ease of playing the front nine. By placing fairway bunkers and ponds in strategic locations, golfers are forced to either fade or draw the ball from off the tee. The wonderfully kept greens are medium-sized and fast. The course is very enjoyable to play, but can be challenging because the locals say that this is the best course in the area. Arthur Hills designed the course. Egypt Valley Country Club has 36 holes. The course includes waterhazards. And has 31-40 sandbunkers.
