Tee off at sunrise, midday or after dinner - the first tee is just a chip shot away from your room ! |

| Pinewood Park Golf Course
Adjacent to the Clarion Resort Pinewood Park, the Pinewood Park GC - an "executive length", largely par-3 layout - demands a solid tee game and a great short game. This is no simple "pitch & putt" as so many par-3 courses seem to be. In fact, there are only three (3) holes shorter than 150 yards and six (6) longer than 180 yards. Hitting mid-to-long irons and fairway woods to small greens will really test your game. |
 |
Pinewood Park GC greens are small, often guarded by trees, putt fast & true, are always in top condition and hold approach shots well. Missed greens will test the short game, so good pitching and putting are paramount to saving par or salvaging a bogey. As a bonus, the course includes two short par-4s where a stroke lost elsewhere might be regained - but probably not ! |

| Popular with both local golfers and Clarion Resort Pinewood Park guests, the course is busy, but play moves along quickly. Generally under 2-1/2 hours are needed to play the 18-hole layout. To warm up, tune up, take a private lesson with the CPGA pro, or participate in one of the daily golf clinics, stop by the driving range adjacent to the pro shop. |
| The well conditioned Pinewood Park GC is the perfect place to fit in a round of golf while staying at the Clarion Resort Pinewood Park on business or during vacation. The "executive-length" venue is also ideally suited to fine-tuning mid-iron and fairway wood play, the short game and one's putting. |

| Osprey Links
Osprey Links, a Rene Muylaert design, is Blue Sky Region's newest championship layout. In terms of design, the two nines are distinct - the front side a classic links-style venue; the back nine a more traditional North American woodland layout. Osprey Links features lush greens, numerous water hazards (especially on the front / links nine), rolling fairways, extreme elevation changes, and more than forty (40) white, Ohio-sand bunkers. |
| Osprey Links is named for its front nine "links" design. With wide fairways, mounded perimeters and few trees, a long tee game promises several good birdie opportunities. But beware -in true links tradition, the greens are large, firm, fast and contoured but putt true ! There's a lot of water out there, too, as well as a few devilishly placed bunkers. |
 |
| The back nine at Osprey Links rewards accuracy, "laying up" and strategic shot-making, moreso than distance off the tee. Tree-lined fairways, elevation changes, greens skirted with rough, bunkers, and long grass punish errant shots. The greens play much as they do on the front nine / links side, but are much harder to hit in regulation. |
| "Signature holes" abound at Osprey Links, and while the par-5 10th, the par-3 11th and the par-4 12th stand out, the entire stretch from the 10th thru 14th holes is a formidable test of club selection and shot making.
Osprey Links is wonderful test for golfers of all playing abilities, a challenge for even the most experienced players and longest hitters, and a "must play" when in Blue Sky Region. |
