Start the day right by choosing to play the correct tee box from the choice of four. Try and keep the ball in the short grass off the tee and take plenty of club on the par threes. The greens are large so heed the colors of the flags and aim for the correct quadrant of the green to hit to. The greens can be deceptive and players often play too much break.

What Is The Signature, Most Talked About, or Most Photographed Hole? There are so many unique and outstanding holes it is very difficult to signal any specific one out.
If I would guess for the White Birch it would be Hole 5. The 424 yard tight uphill dogleg right par four with huge deciduous oaks was once named the toughest hole in Kenosha County Wisconsin. Or my personal favorite, 16 is a beautiful 525 yard par five that you need to hit out of a pine tree tunnel to an expansive lush fairway, and then to a bunker surrounded, deep and narrow green with some tricky twists.
On the Blue spruce it would have to be the 355 yard par four 18th hole that wraps around Juniper Lake. This is a huge risk reward hole where you have a good view of the green and big hitters are tempted to try and drive it but they need to be brave because it is all carry over the water and guarded by a Willow tree. Once on the green, take a second look at your putt as this is the most undulating green on the Blue Spruce golf course. My personal favorite is number 14, the 205 par three with water just in front of the tee to a well bunkered green that makes this hole a real challenge.
On the Red Pine Course the eighth hole a 443 yard par four that wraps around Lake Juniper is really exciting because the fairway runs all along the lake and slopes from left to right requiring great effort to keep your ball dry. Even if that is accomplished, the length of the hole sets you up for a challenging second shot to a well bunker green. This hole will test your skills. My personal favorite is the 192 yard par three ninth hole with mostly all force carry over water. This hole is very photogenic with the lake in front and huge specimen oaks surrounding a well bunker undulating green.

Must Have Dish or Drink after the round at the 19th Hole? The food at Brighton Dale Links is a real source of pride. The menu is right for a fun atmosphere in the clubhouse or on the patio overlooking Lake Juniper. The exceptional staff with service with a smile attitude presents the food piping hot and the beverages icy cold. The Fabulous Friday Night Fish Fry is excellent and offers four different entre selections. The sandwiches are prepared just the way you like it with an amazing variety of condiments. All of the appetizers are tasty as well. Any of the Charbroiled sandwiches put a smile on my face and a side of Tantalizing French Fries is a great companion.
