Traditional Red Lawrence Design

You can tell this course was designed by Red Lawrence after you have putted the greens, they have very interesting undulations and require hitting the ball to the correct part of the green in order to have a makeable putt. Great executive course design, I would definitely play it again.

Great Shape

I had not played this course in several years and was pleasantly surprised at what great shape it was in, their overseed took tremendously and there were virtually no bad lies to speak of, great value for the dollar !!!

Great Layout

Course has a variety of holes, mostly links but a handful of hole where you would think you were in the north woods. Greens were pure but running a little too fast for windy conditions, virtually impossible to stop the ball by the hole.

Good layout, Tough greens

What makes this course tough is the small, quick greens. If you hit a green in regulation it is no guarantee that you will make par. Course has about 3-4 soft boggy fairways but overall a good layout.

Need to know this course !!

Good layout but if you have not played it you better have that yardage book. Even then, you will probably hit a few shots you think are perfect and end up in a transition bunker or something else you were not planning on. Great greens (tough to read) that roll very true. Bring your "A game" !!!

Worst Conditions I have ever experienced

I have been using GolfNow for over 10 years and this is the worst golfing experience I have ever had. The condition of this course was horrible, little to no grass in the fairways and literally no grass on the greens. Even though I had paid for 18 holes I quit after nine because it really wasn't golf !!! Steer clear of this course because there are many others in great shape in the area.

2 Different Courses

Fun golf course with two very different topographies, the front was pretty flat but the back had a tremendous amount of elevation change and was very interesting. Will definitely return to play this course again.

Fun Golf Course

A somewhat challenging layout, especially the par fives where you really need to know where to position your ball into the green. A good value for the dollar !!

Great Course, Great Value

For the dollar you can not beat this venue, it is a little out of the way but it is a great setting in great condition. Big greens that roll well but have a lot of undulation, make sure you keep it in play.

Great Layout

You had better know where your golf ball is going on this course, if you stray too much it will get very interesting in a bad way. Having said that, if you keep it in play it is a really fun course with great conditions and great greens.

Too Much Bird Fecies

This course is a good layout but they need to do something about the small "Coots" that are making a mess of their golf course, it was so bad we had to pick up our golf balls on the 18th green because of all the bird fecies !!!

I Know that Johnny Miller and Chi Chi Rodriques designed this course but I am afraid it was not one of their better efforts, too many "gimmicky holes" !!!

Course in Tough Condition

I know it is somewhat the off-season for this course but there overseed on the greens is extremely spotty and has not filled in. The other major problem is the amount of leaves on this course and it doesn't look like there is any real game plan in place to eliminate these leaves such as blowing or chopping them up and then blowing them. The last thing is that they have over-watered close to the greens and the ball plugs in the muddy areas close to the greens. The shame is that all 3 nines at this course are pretty good layouts.

Poor Layout

The layout has way too many holes that require a second shot to an elevated green and has way too many hard 90 degree doglegs left and right. The greens were very wobbly and this may have been due to what looked like a recent aeiation of the greens. I am afraid I cannot recommend this golf course to any serious golfer who knows a good layout from a bad layout.

Tricked up Layout

This is a course you need to play a half dozen times before you know where to hit and what to hit off the tee. Was not in great shape, but it is the middle of summer, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt on that issue. Is not a course I will rush back to play any time soon !!!
