The venerable Dogwood and Azalea courses have seen a lot in their days. They’ve hosted President Gerald Ford, Dr Billy Graham and Bob Hope, to name a few of the more famous players.
First built in 1947, the Lakewood Golf Club at The Grand Hotel showcases fairways lined with 200-year-old oaks and a dramatic signature hole, the 14th on Azalea. An island green is surrounded by a four-acre lake which makes your approach shot to this par-5 very demanding.
With the addition or expansion of ten water features over the span of the 36 holes as well as other interesting architectural features, golfers are faced with decisions at every corner.
Where the Dogwood course might seem a tad bit easier, and the Azalea, more of a challenge, both courses can play to your liking depending on your selection of tees.
