Caledonia’s Head Professional, Marc Guertlin
told us,
“The intimate nature of the routing through
the live oaks and the large putting surfaces,
provides a vastly different challenge every
time you play. The ownership takes great
pride in the property where they grew up,
duck hunting and fishing, and they go to great
strides and expense to maintain the grounds.”
One of the memorable aspects of the
Caledonia experience is the area where
you meet the starter. Four small greens
allow last minute short-game practice, plus
complementary samples of fish chowder are
served to all golfers. I suggest you try it. It’s
made by the Caledonia kitchen cooks, but
the recipe remains a secret.
Because of this course’s coastal proximity
many ducks can be viewed and the four tees
choices are named after the redhead, wood,
mallard, and pintail ducks that frequent the
area. Keeping with Caledonia’s bird theme,
the 150-yard markers on every hole are actual
bird houses.
The seafood dishes in the True Blue Grillroom
are superb and the views of the 18
th
green and
the surrounding tidal marshlands are stunning.
