The Course
True Blue Golf Club opened in February of 1998 and is Mike Strantz's fourth signature golf course. Strantz also designed the award-winning Caledonia Golf & Fish Club, which opened in 1994, on land adjacent to True Blue Golf Club. For his efforts at True Blue Golf Club and Caledonia Golf & Fish Club, Strantz was named "Architect of the Year" by Golf World in 1998. Strantz crafted True Blue Golf Club to echo many of the characteristics of Pine Valley and Pinehurst #2, with an emphasis on maintaining a natural feel to the course. The par-72 course can stretch to 7,126. Emphasizing the natural beauty of the area and surprising elevation changes, True Blue Golf Club incorporates native grasses and vegetation to maintain much of the character of the property.
