Thunder Bayou
Former tournament venue for golfers on the Hooters Tour and Heartland Senior Tour, the public facility at Thunder Bayou Golf Links has water hazards in play at seven of its holes.
Water isn’t the only hazard to be avoided here as there are more than eighty bunkers in play on a layout that features Bermuda fairways and bent grass greens.
Stretching to 7,232 yards from the back markers, the course at Thunder Bayou can certainly play long and tough, but there are four shorter tees available on every hole.
The four par threes are a varied bunch of one-shot holes (measuring between 169 yards on the 3rd to 230 yards on the 16th) and beware of the tough par four 17th, rated stroke index 1.
