Earlier this spring, I played at a golf course in La Crosse, Wisconsin while on a business trip. Its a pretty neat small city on the north end of the Mississippi River that has a lot of Southern/Cajun influence thanks to the river. Pretty neat spot if anyone ends up there at some point.
Anyways, I played at Forest Hills Golf Club which was formerly the private La Crosse Country Club before the members bought a plot of land outside of town and built a new course which I was told was not worth seeing anyway.
The golf course sits wedged in and around two huge rock bluffs and crosses and runs directly next to active train tracks on four of the holes. That was one feature I really liked. We saw/heard 3 trains go by over the course of the round. The layout uses the terrain very well and had some pretty neat holes. I asked a few peopel there who the original architect was, but nobody knew. All I got was "the course is really old"
Does anyone know who may have been involved in the layout? A long shot, but I figured someone may know.
