Preserves' ThunderHawk Golf Club was recognized by Golf Digest for
"Environmental Leadership" during its first season in 1999. This 18-hole
public championship course—designed by legendary golf course
architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr.—features 243 acres of rolling
terrain including more than 32 acres of restored wetlands,
74 acres of new and transplanted woodlands and 57 acres of
reintroduced native prairie. Pictured here is hole 6.
