The Scope at PlaneWave Instruments

This course sits on private property owned by PlaneWave Instruments (they make telescopes for a variety of clients, including the likes of NASA and Universities around the globe). In Adrian, PlaneWave is known for its commitment to bettering the community.

Alcohol, Smoking, and Vaping are NOT PERMITTED.

The Scope plays through the beautifully manicured grounds, featuring mature trees, wildlife, and slight but steady elevation changes.

The main course features 2 par 5's, 11 par 4's, and 5 par 3's. There are mandatories and OB on many holes. There is also a white layout designed with the recreational player in mind.

Infinite Mandatories is a concept introduced by course designer, Blake Hohlbein, An Infinite Mandatory must be played on the proper side of the mandatory (usually a tree). If the mandatory course element is missed on the incorrect side, the player must play back around the mandatory course element on the proper side or elect to rethrow from the previous lie with a 1 stroke penalty.

Some Unique Holes:

#3 is an island shot to a basket guarded by a precariously placed tree, forcing the player to push the back left side of the island. #5 is a par 5 with a fairway that pinches as you near the putting area with a tree near the basket on a hillside. #6 & 14 utilize a "U" shaped design incorporating Infinite Mandatories. #12 is a par 5 that tours through the woods in the back of the property. #16 contains a double island. #17 & 18 finish with two long par 4's; one uses an old building as an obstacle, the other has an elevated tee and plenty of trees to navigate on the way to a raised basket on a tricky green.
