How do you build a golf course in the flat midwest? Think water, sand, trees, water, water, water. Examples: Hole 2: Water runs along its entire right side. Hole 3: The small green on this hole is surrounded on three sides by water lake winds may be blowing and can affect your approach shot. Hole 4: Dogleg. Hole 5: May require a second shot from a downhill lie to a small green over water. Get the picture? Bring a raft and a ball retriever.
