Fish Lake Country Club in Plankinton presents a tree-lined layout where sloping terrain and well-placed hazards shape nearly every shot.
The opening hole shares a tee box for the red and white markers and asks for a forced carry to a raised, heavily sloped green, with pine trees waiting long and an uphill chip the penalty for coming up short. The second is one of the course's gentler tests, playing straight down the fairway, though a lateral hazard guards the right and trees interfere with the approach from the left rough. The third bends slightly right, with a severely canted fairway that feeds balls into the rough and leaves a blind approach, while out-of-bounds lurks to the right.
