Where was everybody?

We teed off at 8am and never say anyone in front of us. That allowed us to finish in under 3 hours, which is perfect. The course had very few players. It was cool and windy for the first hour or so, but an amazing day for June golf. The course was in good shape and they guys in the clubhouse were very helpful and friendly.

Lake of the Woods

Good golf course. Like playing it. It is public golf. Had a group jump in front of us on 10, told us "the clubhouse told them to".
. They did let us play through.

Greens need some help

The course was great until you came to the greens. Some looked like the surface of the moon. That’s not on the course or the staff, players need to be respectful and fix ball marks. I shouldn’t have to fix numerous ball marks just to be able to putt on every hole. Still recommend the course though

Lots of storm damage. Played behind a group of 5 that were clearly playing the wrong tees!

Only removed on star because majority of the experience was positive. 4.5 hour round was not too bad for peak hours on Friday. The course was in good shape but the greens had just been aerated which led to a lot of putts.

In good shape for late winter

The course is in good shape considering it's still late winter. There were not any noticeable issues with fairways, greens or tee boxes. Like a lot of courses, pace of play can be an issue depending on who is on the course as there are no marshals pushing folks to play at an acceptable pace or let others play through.

Paid for 18, stopped at 9

I couldn’t take the pace of play. There was clearly no Marshall on the course and whoever coordinated tee times was clueless. I guess 5 stacks are common here. We had three and sometimes four groups stacked up at every tee box and green just waiting on a 5 stack four groups up.

Fall Round

This was my first time playing the course in the last couple of years. I walked this round, and ended up playing with a single walking in front of me as we waiting on the group ahead to move. The course is in decent shape for this late in the year.

Nice round

Pace of play was good, conditions are pretty decent overall. Brought some family from St Louis and they enjoyed it for the most part. Would return when in the area
