The Lodge of Four Seasons in 1964 he had a vision of offering the greatest resort in the mid-west. He knew that the greatest resort would require a golf course designed by one of the greatest golf architects. He hired the legendary Robert Trent Jones Sr. to design The Lodge's signature golf course. The Cove opened in 1973 and has challenged golfers of all skill levels ever since.

With 72 bunkers, rolling hills, and water coming into play on 9 of the holes, this par-71 course is anything but tame. The four sets of tees tip out at 6,553 yards, but start at 5,172 so players of all abilities can enjoy this classic design. In typical RTJ fashion, The Cove is a target golf course putting an emphasis on getting the ball in play off of the tee.
