The first of the three nine-hole courses at Sand Creek is wrapped around the
curves of Sand Creek and Lake Billington, into which the creek feeds. The course's
highlights include the par 4 third hole, which allows long hitters the option
of carrying the eastern edge of the lakefrom the tee. The fourth (right), a
par 3, plays 190 yards over water from the back tees to a tiered green. Over
all, the course puts a premium on club selection and accuracy, while winds
off Lake Michigan, just north of Sand Creek, often come into play.
