What Tips or Local Knowledge Would You Provide To Help Them Score Better At Your Course?
Take a yardage book with them and play to the middle of the greens.

What Tips or Local Knowledge Would You Provide To Help Them Score Better At Your Course?
Many of the holes have significant elevation changes and it is best to survey the shot and picking the right club and line. Hitting your approach shots to the right tier of the green will help in carding a few pars and birdies.

Recent Awards or What You Are Most Proud About The Course?
We are continually ranked in the top 10 places to play in Indiana by Golfweek magazine. I am most proud of the customer service that we provide to our customers and the positive feedback we get from them through reviews and compliments.

What Is The Signature, Most Talked About, or Most Photographed Hole?
The signature hole on our course is the 15th hole. There are two bunkers on both sides of the green that are 50 feet deep. We have people hit shots from them to see if they can make it on the green (this is after they have already played the hole).

What Is Your Favorite Hole? Any Tips to Play It?
My favorite hole is the 195 yard par 3 #12. Probably the most beautiful spot on the course. You hit form within an amphitheater of old oaks to a slightly uphill green. The green is protected on the right by a 20 foot drop off and deep bunker and the left front is protected by a huge over-hanging oak. If you make sure to take enough club to get past the trouble and find the green you will have a great chance of making a birdie.

About: Brian Weis

Brian Weis is the mastermind behind GolfTrips.com, a vast network of golf travel and directory sites covering everything from the rolling fairways of Wisconsin to the sunbaked desert layouts of Arizona. If there’s a golf destination worth visiting, chances are, Brian has written about it, played it, or at the very least, found a way to justify a "business trip" there.

As a card-carrying member of the Golf Writers Association of America (GWAA), International Network of Golf (ING), Golf Travel Writers of America (GTWA), International Golf Travel Writers Association (IGTWA), and The Society of Hickory Golfers (SoHG), Brian has the credentials to prove that talking about golf is his full-time job. In 2016, his peers even handed him The Shaheen Cup, a prestigious award in golf travel writing—essentially the Masters green jacket for guys who don’t hit the range but still know where the best 19th holes are.

Brian’s love for golf goes way back. As a kid, he competed in junior and high school golf, only to realize that his dreams of a college golf scholarship had about the same odds as a 30-handicap making a hole-in-one. Instead, he took the more practical route—working on the West Bend Country Club grounds crew to fund his University of Wisconsin education. Little did he know that mowing greens and fixing divots would one day lead to a career writing about the best courses on the planet.

In 2004, Brian turned his golf passion into a business, launching GolfWisconsin.com. Three years later, he expanded his vision, and GolfTrips.com was born—a one-stop shop for golf travel junkies looking for their next tee time. Today, his empire spans all 50 states, and 20+ international destinations.

On the course, Brian is a weekend warrior who oscillates between a 5 and 9 handicap, depending on how much he's been traveling (or how generous he’s feeling with his scorecard). His signature move" A high, soft fade that his playing partners affectionately (or not-so-affectionately) call "The Weis Slice." But when he catches one clean, his 300+ yard drives remind everyone that while he may write about golf for a living, he can still send a ball into the next zip code with the best of them.

Whether he’s hunting down the best public courses, digging up hidden gems, or simply outdriving his buddies, Brian Weis is living proof that golf is more than a game—it’s a way of life.
