It's an old course with every mature tree available in our state. Tight, but fair, Zoysia fairways lead to subtle breaking greens. The greens at Audubon are great. They hold long irons and putting is very true. The subtle breaks are tough to evaluate, making local knowledge a definite advantage.

The only blind shot on the course comes on a 14. It's a ball buster 453 yard par 4. Drive it into a valley, and you have a 170 yard plus shot, to a green you can't quite see. Toughest hole on the course.

Audubon Country Club is a classic. Not to mention they have a serious grounds keeping crew. The place was flat out immaculate. Excellent clubhouse and dining area. I think I saw two bars in the maze of halls that run through the rather bodacious structure. It's an old course with every mature tree available in our state. I love the place! It's not all tricked up with huge undulating greens, or double dogleg par fives. No bizarre mounding. Just a straight forward honest golf test. Hit it in the fairway, and you are rewarded. Hit it in the rough, you are penalized. The signature hole is the 197 yard, 17th. It's a slightly downhill par three, with a scenic pond in play. Moe and I both enjoyed playing Audubon. Moe used to caddie there when he was a little hellion. I shot 156 for the two day tourney. That's probably 30 strokes better than my previous Mid-Am effort. I was tied for third in low net when we gave up on watching the board and went home. Moe shot something a bit higher that he doesn't want to be reminded of. He was probably overwhelmed by nostalgia. No matter what level you play at, you will enjoy the classic features and beauty of Audubon. So, of course, Audobon is...THE PICK OF THE WEEK!
