Forest Dunes Golf Club - Loop Black

About the club

The Black routing plays clockwise around The Loop, starting to the left of the 18th green and playing away to the white flag on the horizon. You’ll play to white flags for the front nine, and red flags for the back, just like The Old Course at St. Andrews. If you’re ever unsure of which way to go, keep left! The Black Course is a less traditional setup, with a tough start and an easier finish. Par for the front side is only 34, with three short holes at the 2nd, 5th and 8th, and just one par-5. The stretch of holes from the 4th to the 8th is your best opportunity to make some birdies; starting with the 9th, you’ll face a bunch of difficult holes all the way around to the 16th, until a short par-5 and a relatively short par-4 close out the round.
