Designed by Jack Fleming. This sporty combination of meadow course meets forest course is compressed into small acreage. Though rustically attractive, bring your hard hat because balls are a-flying. This is a semi-private course, but 80 percent of play is by the public. From Jackson (about 25 miles east to the course): Follow Highway 88 east. Take the Meadow Drive exit to Fairway Drive.
