Overview
Treetops Resort’s Signature course was Rick Smith’s first 18-hole design. Prior to laying out the course, Smith took a month-long trip to Ireland and Scotland to study the historic tracks. The resulting Signature course has narrow fairways and challenging greens that are considered the most undulating at Treetops Resort, which has 81 holes in total.

Review
“Really fun and challenging course with a lot of elevation changes. Most holes are either up or downhill with only a couple "flat" holes. Not terribly long at just over 6650 from the back tees, but the elevation changes makes it play a little longer. Course and greens are in great shape and most greens have to levels so hitting to the proper level is important as the greens are large."

“Beautiful course with outstanding views. Very playable for all levels . . . no forced carries . . . but sufficiently challenging for better players. Greens are creative and fun. Terrific resort course."
