" It's a birdie hole for the better players and a very
playable hole for the other skill sets, because there isn't
a lot of trouble from tee to green. " -Peter Kurvers
GREAT DRIVES
Crow River Golf Club
Hutchinson | No. 14 » par 5 » 359-528 yards
Opened 1938 (became 18 holes in 1978) | Architects Joel Goldstrand and Bob Prochnow | Head Pro/Manager Peter Kurvers
Superintendent Kevin Froemming | Course Record 61-Joe McCormick (2000)
T
he third time was a charm for Crow River
Golf Club, which moved twice before
settling on the beautiful, rolling prairie land it
now inhabits. And you may need to be charmed
with the right conditions to score on hole
number 14.
The course runs alongside Lake Campbell,
and the prevailing spring and fall winds are in
the player's face on this straight, slightly uphill
par 5. With a narrow tree-lined fairway, accuracy
off the tee is important, whether you can
reach the green in two or not.
" Choose your driving club wisely to stay
in the fairway, " head pro Peter Kurvers
says. " Being in the fairway is a premium. "
Kurvers says the strength of the course
is the green sites, with undulation, falloffs
and low-mowed areas to foster
short-game creativity. And the 14th
green slopes back-to-front with plenty
of challenging hole locations. Bunkers
front right and left require anyone rolling
their approach up the apron to be on
point. -Joseph Oberle
