About the Course:Â Considerable time and attention were taken in the design of the course at Merit Club. Founder Bert Getz Sr. wanted to ensure it was designed for golfers by those that respect the game and understood what members and guests would appreciate. The layout allows for opening holes that play away from the morning sun and finishing holes that return to the east to keep glare out of a player's eyes. You always have a chance to run your approach shots onto the green rather than constantly having to hit over forced carries like bunkers or water. Many golfers have shot their career rounds at Merit Club, and they enjoy that they don't see nearby fairways and holes because of generous spacing.Â
