The first thing that comes to mind when speaking of Edgewood, is the relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere from start to finish. The PGA Head Professional, John Freeman was more than merely pleasant and accommodating. He felt like a good friend we'd never met. We could tell he treated all golfers as if you had been a member for years. Almost every single person who worked for Edgewood was equally as attentive and friendly.

The day began on the Oaks Course, one of their twin courses on property, and considered the more difficult one. From the very first hole we couldn't help but note the remarkable layout. And the first three holes are really just a tune-up for what's still to come.

Hole #4 has water down the whole right side with more on the left near the green. The Fox River runs through part of this challenging area of the course. Hole# 5 is a par 5 and when played carefully (as you should) it will keep your score down. With a tight fairway and trouble on both sides we'd suggest back to back 3 or 5 woods, and then just a 7 or 8 iron to the green.

The back nine has its own adventures with their signature hole, No.14, on it. This a gorgeous par 3 surrounded by water, with a very large bunker protecting the green IF you clear the water. It looks like it's a quarter of a mile away, but its 153 yds. from the white markers. On a course like this, the hole signage comes into play. They were impressively detailed and very accurate. We'd suggest you: (1) Pay close attention to them all, and (2) recognize that if it looks like trouble on the sign, it probably is.

John (PGA Pro) explained how both of their 18 hole courses started out as 9 holes and were expanded later. This is what clearly makes this course unique. Carts are required because of the hills and distance between holes. Believe me, it's worth it! What a great round on any kind of day... a superb round on a great day!

Very well laid out course that uses water hazards to make holes challenging. Par 3's are made challeging with large bunkers and elevation changes, especially on the back 9. Wide variety of shots leads to a fun round, yet challenging enough to keep you interested throughout the course. Definitely the better of the 2 course, the Oaks is the better value versus the Pines.
