Fox Bend Golf Course in Oswego, Illinois opens with a reachable par 4 whose relatively flat green rewards an accurate drive. The following hole narrows between a fairway bunker to the left and water to the right, placing a premium on position off the tee rather than length; its receptive green holds approach shots well.
Elsewhere on the layout, a par 3 framed by stands of evergreens plays tougher than it looks, with a green sloped sharply from back to front that leaves difficult putting above the hole.
