River Falls, WI
The 18 hole championship course at Clifton Hollow GC is filled with both subtle and glaring challenges. Take for instance the signature 5th hole, a seemingly harmless 171 yard(blue) par 3 from a slightly elevated tee to an undulating, sloped green, protected in front by stately oak trees on either side; hitting over what’s known as “The Hollow”, anything short of the green is a sure bogey at best, long means a knee-knocking chip shot to a runaway green, and on the green is no guarantee of even par. Or there’s the stunning 450 yard(blue) 9th hole. It’s a deceptive par 4 where a well hit drive gets you to the edge of “The Hollow”. From this elevated point you are left with a 200 yard second shot down to a generous but sloping green, protected along the left/front left by water, a wooded hillside behind, and thick rough to the right. A challenge for the best of golfers. Then we save the “Monster of Clifton” for last…a lengthy, character-building, 637 yard(blue) 18th hole where getting on in 3 doesn’t necessarily you’ll be down in 5. It’s the longest fairway, finished with the largest green on the course with room for a variety of pin placements to test your putting skills.
