Ben Hawes State Park
This state park has an eighteen hole regulation course and a nine hole par 3 course. The front nine on the Ben Hawes Course was built on flat terrain and its back nine was built on hilly terrain.
This is a great course for all skill levels of golfer. The ladies' par is actually 76. The signature hole is #11, a 444-yard, par 4, requiring a long tee shot up a fairway with out-of-bounds stakes guarding the left and huge oak trees on the right, and also avoiding the ditch 200 yards off the tee box.
