“Classic design in very good condition. Course is relatively flat and plays firm and fast. Bunkers are large and adds to the visual and character of the look."

Review

“What stood out for me at North Shore was a collection of interesting, challenging, firm and fast greens. I found several of the short par 4s at the course - particularly the 5th and 11th holes - to be some of the most fun and strategic holes on property. A bold, well-executed drive opens up the green to the player who finds the line of charm. The player who misses his target is left with an extremely challenging wedge approach. The firm, fast conditions amplify the need for proper angles of approach and thoughtful play from the tee. The course lacks much in the way of natural topographical interest, but the greens here are well-designed and intriguing. The routing does a nice job of constantly changing direction as well to keep the player engaged from hole to hole on what's a very pleasant, fun walk. The conditions overall were excellent - fairways were firm and fast, and greens were even firmer and faster. This had the added effect of increasing the challenge on a course that could otherwise be torn up by better players. I found the aesthetics at North Shore quite nice as well. The layering and placement of bunkers and sensible tree management made for some nice vistas."
