Vintage is designed by Arthur Hills and Associates of Toledo, one of the more experienced designers in the business with more than 100 courses under its belt, the layout of the course obviously has the experienced golfer in mind. The Stimp Meter measurements of the green are fast, about 12 for tournaments and 9 for normal play. The management is quite concerned with the maintenance of the greens and most golfers will find they are in excellent shape.      Finesse is the operative word. The approach on the majority of the 18 holes does not require the Herculean drive common to some courses. Instead ball placement is crucial and plenty of loft to prevent the ball running on the fast greens is appropriate. Skill with the short irons and pop up shots will be the deciding factors in most rounds.      On the first nine holes, it is the 7th hole that stands out because of the strategy required to make the par 5. The regular approach to the green is three shots. The third shot is important in terms of ball placement. If you hit too long on this shot you will be looking at a three putt at best and in the water otherwise. The slope of the green is long and fast, making it preferable to chip short of the flag and putt uphill.
