Banks Course

The Banks Course was created by Charles “Steamshovel” Banks in 1931.^[1] The historic Banks Course was designed by Charles H. Banks, one of America's celebrated "Golden Age" architects. Regarded as an architectural gem, the "traditional" design of the Banks Course features many holes inspired by some of the legendary Scottish courses, as well as Banks' signature steep and dramatic greenside bunkers. The course is consistently ranked as a MET Top 50 Golf course [2] and "Best in State" by Golf Digest.
