Comments
I really enjoyed playing Duncan Hills Golf Course, an 18 hole course located in Savannah, Missouri, which is about 14 miles north of St. Joseph. The course has a few very funky holes, which I always love playing. This course has lots of personality. There are several blind shots to greens and even two holes with large trees right in front of the green. Since I was a neophyte on this course, I had no idea on how to most effectively play these holes. My preferred total yardage for an 18/72 course is 6,000 and Duncan Hills’ blue tees were 6,028 yards. The problem was that there were two holes where I could not carry the hazard in front of the tee box so I had to move up to the whites. Also, unless you are familiar with the course layout the odds are you will get lost, particularly on the back 9. Overall, though, I would recommend playing Duncan Hills Golf Course if you are in the area. Very fun course.
