The last time I played Stumpy Lake I was 14 living in Virginia Beach so saying that I played this course before is based more a literal truth than experience. Having said that, I’m 59 now and my experience with the course this time was very good. My wife, who just took up the game 4 years ago, appreciated the generous forward tees. They allowed her to be competitive with me at times, especially on the par 3’s. The greens were a little chewed up, likely from the rate of play but They rolled pretty good and would hold a shot. The fairways were in great shape. We thoroughly enjoyed our round and will play this Robert Trent Jones design again the next time we are in the area.

I’ve played the Green course at the Golden Horseshoe complex 4 times over the past 4 years and every time has been as advertised. The course is always in great shape. The greens are tough but fair and will hold a well struck shot. Don’t pass up a chance to play this Rees Jones gem.

Red Wing Lake is a well maintained course with good fairways and smooth, consistent greens. The layout is fairly challenging allowing you to hit big drives on many holes while requiring more controlled placement to set up your approach on others. Combined with greens that will allow you to attack most pins makes for a very enjoyable day on the course.

We were visiting Columbus for my wife’s birthday and she wanted to play a round. We located Champions Golf Course a few miles from our hotel and booked a time. Having played other RTJ courses in the past, the initial impression was not ideal. No elaborate clubhouse and evidence of construction led to a severe drop in expectations. Boy we’re we fooled! We checked in, the clubhouse staff was friendly. Hit a few range balls before our tee time and proceeded to the first tee. The starter asked if we had played there before and we said no where he proceeded to give a very enthusiastic welcome and told us of some hole characteristics to prepare for and off we went. From the first hole to the last it was a classic RTJ design reminiscent of the other RTJ courses we had played. The greens were impeccable and quick but true rolling. With the exception of a couple of fairways, which appeared to be recovering from water log in patches, were as plush as any we had played. The forward tees also provided a very adequate advantage for my wife, who is a fairly new player. There was a group in front of us that were a bit slow, but we and the groups behind us adjusted our pace to match so that waiting was minimal. All in all a great experience at a very nice old course. We highly recommend this course if you’re in the area.

My wife and vacation often in Williamsburg and the resort where we stay is just a few miles fro Kiskiack. We have played it several times over the past 4 years and have always found the course to be in excellent shape. The layout is challenging but fair and provides tee boxes to fit all skill levels. The staff is always friendly and helpful. We always look forward to playing Kiskiack when we are in the area. See you next year.
