The par 72 East Course spans for than 7,000 yards from the farthest tees and is where future PGA tour professionals qualified including Tom Watson and Bruce Fleischer. Some of the biggest names in the golf world have played on the East Course, from Lee Trevino and Jack Nicklaus to Sam Snead and Arnold Palmer. The East Course went under a major renovation in 2008 and was re-designed by world-renowned architect Keith Foster.

The North Course first opened in 1964 as a 9 hole course but Joe Lee built the back nine in 1969 making it a par 72 course with a length of 6,768 yards from the back tees. The North Course was renovated in 1994 and winds among lakes and nature preserves. It underwent an additional $5 million re-design and was re-opened in December of 2013. The new design of the golf course is challenging and rewarding to all handicap levels and is against a pristine backdrop.

The South Course also opened in 1964 as a 9 hole course and was expanded to 18 holes by Lee in 1970. In 2000 the South Course was completely redesigned by Gene Bates. The par 72 course is a favorite of the members for its challenging but fair layout that rewards strategy and accuracy. It allows the thinking golfer opportunities to level the playing field against the big hitters.
