Four BEST Reasons to Make a Lakes of the North Stop
By Greg Johnson –
Rob Diroff, the head PGA golf professional at Lakes of the North Golf Course, helped us pick the four BEST reasons to make Lakes of the North Golf Course part of your golf getaway plans. Go to gaylordgolfmecca.com and check it out. It’s one of 16 courses in the Mecca and is a perfect addition to any trip.
1.
Everyone is welcome: “We want as many people as possible to play golf here and experience the great golf course, the good conditions we have, the whole community here, and the get-away-from-it-all feeling you get here.”
2.
People are always overwhelmingly surprised at what they find at Lakes of the North. “It’s not a mom-and-pop golf course, it’s a resort-style course and a traditional parkland course kind of all in one. Great conditions, best prices, hidden gem – it just surprises people.”
3.
Lakes of the North has a full-service pro shop with club rentals, lessons, new carts and more, and it has a full-service restaurant, too. “It’s not just play golf and that’s it. You can golf, eat, drink and relax in a beautiful spot. Come hang out with us.”
4.
You can take on as many golf challenges as you like. “From the tips, it’s 7,000 yards and not a pushover at all, but you can move around to multiple tees and take on whatever yardage is comfortable. There’s room to hit the ball, but on some holes, you do need to pay attention, especially from the back tees. It’s really two different nines by two different designers (Bill Newcomb and Jerry Matthews). Like me, people end up liking the variety along with the challenge. Come pick your favorite nine.”
