Sinnissippi Golf Course – Review and Rating

The course may seem easy, but it has a few quirks so you have to pay attention.

The course is full-length, with a mix of par 3s, 4s, and 5s. 

The course starts out with a fairly tough par 4. After three fairly straightforward holes you get back to the clubhouse.

The tee shot on four is quite downhill, followed by an uphill approach. The same goes for number five. Number six is a mid/length par three, but very downhill, so a seven iron might be enough. Hole seven is an uphill par five. If you reach the top, you may be able to reach the green in two. A very nice hole. Number nine rounds out the course with a good par 5.
