Most difficult holes at Transit Valley Country Club : Holes 10-12: 563, 408 & 211
Transit Valley presents two of its most demanding holes consecutively. To begin the back nine is the longest par five. Despite the downhill tee ball, the hole reclaims its yardage with an uphill approach. The key to the hole (presuming an adequate drive) is the second shot. The pond from hole #2 awaits on the right, while trees obscure the left side. Big curves are abundant on the sloped 10th green. The 11th features the tightest, most demanding drive on the course. The green is hidden behind front left bunkers. Twelve might be the most unique hole on the course. It’s again a long par three, over 200 yards, demanding an accurate hybrid or long iron to a green with multiple levels.
A number of other activities such as tennis, including a junior program, swimming and bowling provide for a wide range of interests. The dining and banquet facilities, availability of private meeting rooms and numerous social events scheduled throughout the year have transformed a golf club into a recreation center attractive to the entire family.
