Lakeside Golf
Course meanders through the marshlands of West Bountiful, Utah on the shores of
the Great Salt Lake. The outward nine is player friendly and walking is quite
common at Lakeside Golf Course. A classic style design features tall mature
trees throughout the layout and a good mix in length of holes and scoring
opportunities.
The inward nine gets quite a bit tougher, with the locally dubbed "Amen Corner"
begins a 3-hole stretch of tough holes. Begging with the Par-3 11th, which is
not long but a forced carry over wetlands can make for a difficult shot. The
par-5 12th features water hazards throughout the left side, and two river
crossings through the landing area from the tee and again on the approach shot.
Water again skirts the entire right side of the green. As if the 12th hole was
not enough, the par-4 13th is short with a lay-up off the tee, but a thin
fairway and water hazards again everywhere this stretch of holes usually makes
or breaks a round at Lakeside Golf Course. |
