Hawk Meadows & Willow Brook Golf Club, Byron

Hawk Meadows invites golfers to sample the variety of hole layouts afforded by its 18-hole course, which is characterized by sparse tree-lines and open fairways. Checking in at 6,377 yards, the course is not an overwhelming test of distance with the driver, instead incorporating forced carries with short irons and hard-to-read greens with the putter. It also features a two-story clubhouse, where a bar-and-grill and a covered patio provide a breezy spot to recount tales of putting disputes that turned into bouts of flagstick jousting.
