Fallen Oak Golf Course

From the moment it opened in late 2006, Fallen Oak Golf Course has impressed golfers and reviewers alike with its dramatic elevation changes and more than 4,000 stately oaks, magnolias, pines and other hardwood trees, interspersed with ponds, streams and wetlands.

The 18-hole private golf course, designed by Tom Fazio, measures 7,487 yards from the longest tees. The course features 10 bridges and concealed cart paths to protect and enhance the natural features of the terrain.

The challenge is obvious from the first hole, a par-5 with a dogleg left. A huge water oak serves as the target off the tee. Streams and a lake border the fairway and green.

The finishing hole promises plenty of drama. The remarkably elevated tees offer grand views of the bunker-abundant par-4 as well as the classically styled clubhouse perched on the hill overlooking the 18th green and the golf course's namesake live oak.

Golfweek Magazine selected Fallen Oak as No. 2 on its 25-course list of Best Casino Courses for 2007.
