Birdies are waiting,
but Table
Creek won’t give them away
The
folks at Table Creek understand this Nebraska City course isn’t the
longest or isn’t heavily guarded by tall trees.
But the hills the
course sits upon make up for that.
On the front nine
alone, six holes demand attention to the wind, which will push and pull
your shots in all directions.
Table Creek’s
fairways feature similar characteristics as a links course with its
rough weaving in and out of landing areas and its slippery slopes.
With competition
getting more fierce in Nebraska City, you’ll like the price you get for
playing a clean, well kept course at Table Creek.
A closer look
As with the case
of a lot of the fairways at Table Creek, the fairway can be narrow and
unsettling, but the rough generally allows for decent approach shots.
There
are some ridiculously short par 4s that partly make up for No. 1, but
they won’t allow for easy birdies.
No. 3 tops out
near 299 yards uphill with a bunker sitting to the right of the green.
No. 6 measures
234 yards, but features a bunker directly in front of the green and
large mounds surrounding the green.
One of the best
holes on the front nine is the par five seventh, rated the hardest hole
on the course. Water runs along the right side of the fairway, but
doesn’t really come into play until the second and third shots. The
second shot must be played toward the left half of the fairway, because
the trees lining the water hazard allow for only a small window on your
approach shot.
No. 11 is a
scenic par three with a bunker short of the green and heavy trees behind
it. It’s always unique to stand on a tee box see where all your trouble
is on a given hole. No. 11 and the par-five No. 18 do just that.
The latter tee
box reveals a dogleg right on the first shot, then a slight dogleg left
on the approach. Out of bounds is all over the left side, but assuming
the tee shot is hit decently, it shouldn’t influence the hole. |
