The Course
The Highlands Course, which emulates a Scottish Links,
is one of the gems of the Trail. Thousands of Japanese black pines, oaks,
dogwoods, and crepe myrtles have been planted to enhance such features
as an old mule barn beside the fifth hole.
Completely opposite is the River Course, the only Robert
Trent Jones layout without a single bunker. The River Course is laid out
on former soybean fields in the flood plain of the Flint River. The River
is a throwback to the way courses were built long ago - the dirt was merely
pushed up to create the greens and tees, leaving all else, including massive
oak trees, as is. The enormous black oak behind the 18th green is reputed
to be the third oldest in the state at 250 years.
The Short Course at Hampton Cove is very open and links-like,
with water in play on 11 holes and a large double green accommodating
the 10th and 17th greens.
