The two nines can not be any more different.
Windmill Ridge Golf Course in Monett, MO is one of the nicer municipal courses in the state and is very playable. The front nine, separated by Lincoln Ave. (but is connected by a tunnel under the road), is typical of an old school rural Missouri private country club. The back nine is more of a links-style course.
The front nine:
– A classic rural country club layout and design
– A single row of mature Oak trees lining most fairways
– Grasses are lush
– The greens are medium size with big sweeping breaks
– The holes are contiguous for the most part
The back nine:
– Links style
– Much more wide open/fairways are not line with trees
– Fairway grasses are more lush
– Greens are more narrow with much larger undulations
– Deep and thick native grasses border most holes
Both nines have bunkers, which are in the process of being renovated (at least I hope that is the reason they are in disrepair), some water and OB.
Overall, while not perfect (particularly for a rural muni course), it is a pretty darned nice course. I would be more than content playing here every day. If you live in SW MO, get down to Monett and play Windmill Ridge Golf Course.
