Nice layout but slow again

Played Friday at 10am and Sunday at 9:45am. The rounds are just too long when you are waiting every shot. Please get a ranger and speed up the pace!
The food at the course is awesome and yes, I will go back but it’s painful to golf so slow! ☹️

Great potential and fun course

So the course has sparse grass all over the course. Most tee boxes were spotty at best. The green are slow and some are beat up with missing grass, however, it was a fun little track! It’s a bit tight and can play short so you may not need your driver in every hold but placement is the name of the game here and that’s what made it fun! Watch out for the water in some of the blind areas. I would recommend playing this course for a fun day and the price is very reasonable compared to other course in the area.
I wish they could put a few $$$$ as I millions to make this a great course but not likely to happen.
The 19th hole at the Twisted Birch is a great way to end your day and talk about all those shots that could have been amazing and just missed!

One of the nicer public courses in area

The course is one of the nicer in the area! It was in very good condition along with the sand traps and greens! The fairways are pretty open so you are safe on some errant shots whereas other courses might eat you up. We are 8-12 handicappers and enjoy coming here for occasional golf. The only negative was the pace of play that nobody was monitoring throughout the day. However, to be somewhat expected with an 11:30 tee time. Nice job Viera East, keep up the overall good work!

First time there and would definitely go back!

Price was fair but we had a Golf Now hot deal at $36.
The course was well kept, the fairways are forgiving as they are pretty wide, the greens were nice and rolled true, the pace of play was solid. The group in front of us was a little behind but the ranger stayed on top of them without us having to say a word but we did wait from time to time. I recently moved to the area and have played Duran and Baytree. I think it was better condition than both yet easier than both.
The money taker was a bit drab but the starter was a character so he made up for his dreariness. It seems the small restaurant may have just changed owners as they were giving away beers and food? (No, this did not influence my review) We had pimento cheese dip and some homemade chips and it was very good!
For a first time there, we were both impressed. With the overall experience. We both play Duran as it’s in our backyards but now are talking about switching back and forth to change things up. We will not be back to Baytree but for both of us to to say we will now play Viera East regularly actually means something to us. For the price, condition, atmosphere and overall experience, it’s a pretty decent track that should be played in the area.
Good luck out there……FORE!!!

Always a good time!

Considering it was only 40 degrees the course played really well.
I enjoy it every time I go there as the layout is challenging but fair.

Course is in top condition

I usually play this course once or twice a season since it opened and feel the course is in the best condition I've ever seen. Greens were rolling true, fairways and traps were immaculate and the staff was friendly and courteous.

Disappointed in the food afterwards though....eh, I'm more concerned about the golf then the food but the review questions asked so I had to say something........FORE!!!!

I would play again......

It's a good little course at 6300 yards from the tips. The greens are very undulating so expect maybe a few 3 putts and 4 putts depending on your skill? The course is not overly difficult and think it's probably quite fun for most. I do not like the course layout as many holes are right next to each other and people are yelling FORE all over the place. This is a little dangerous in my opinion. We had young kids in front of us for the front 9 which really slowed down the course and rangers were nowhere to be found. Fortunately they dropped off after 9 and it was a much better pace. We paid $35 w/cart to play but there are better, more challenging courses where you're not dodging balls for less. The course is well maintained but unless I get some type of bargain price of $30 or less I probably won't be back. If you've never played it, I'd give it a shot as this is only my opinion. I'm an 8 handicap golfer.

Great course

This is a great course. It's a little on the expensive side for me at their regular price but my Hot Deal of $56 w/cart for each of us was very fair. The course is in great shape and a very unique. It is challenging and your shots are best if you know where they should be placed but I guess that's with any course. The pin placement that day was rather tough and the green's were rolling true and fast but again we managed. Overall if you are an avid golfer and understand or know a good course when you play it, this will be one of those courses. Enjoy......I did!!!

A good course to play

My tip to golfers would be to just enjoy the course for what it offers. It's already ranked by Golf Digest as a Top 20 in Wisconsin so there's not much a guy like me can say that that would overwrite their review. We were able to get a Golfnow hot-deal which allowed our foursome to play the course at $30/player so at that price we were extremely impressed. I think our views may have changed slightly if we paid anything over $65/player. There is another course fairly close called Castle at Northern Bay which is just as nice with 7 replica holes from top courses in the United States. If you can make it over there, that's what I would recommend. It is truly a "Diamond in the Rough" and I look forward to playing it again if I'm up that way in the future.

Good course

We'll manicured and everything was well maintained. Fair greens which rolled nicely. Only complaint is the pace of play was slow. We were a foursome keeping up with two twosomes. Ranger never said a word to them but since it was such a nice day, how could you complain too much. I would recommend this course if you can get a deal under $40. The price they charge is a little steep but for under forty bucks it's A fair deal.

Somewhat disappointed

I was rather disappointed in the course this time around. I've played the course many times (not this year though) and it is normally in great condition. This time the fairways were very thin and the greens were burnt with large repair spots all over. I'm not sure if the past winter took a massive toll on this course and it never came back or what but it is normally in pristine condition? The layout is pretty good except for a few holes that come together and you better take cover if errant shots are had but some hacks..... The pace was somewhat slow but and no ranger to scurry the slowpokes along but maybe its because it's fall and a Thursday afternoon? I hate to say its a bad course because it's really not but the condition was not what I remember. They need to freshen up the fairways and get attention on the greens again. Chandlers is an awesome restaurant so you can't go wrong with lunch or dinner there but this is a golf review. :) lower your prices because doesn't warrant $56 a round anymore if that's how the course is going to be manicured. I know because I saw it that it can be better. I only recommend it if you can get a good Golfnow deal of $28 w/cart or less right now.

Big Run, not a lot of fun

The course has a decent layout but the mature trees can get you into big trouble. I suppose if you played it a couple times you could figure where to lay up and play a little course management for a better score. The greens were SLOW. We had just played Mistwood in the morning prior to playing Big Run in the afternoon. It was a night and day difference with the speed. You couldn't putt the ball hard enough to make it up some of the undulating green contours. It was almost like they had a substance on them to prevent them from rolling. And then there was the pace of play. Our foursome kept up with a twosome the entire round. When the ranger came around on the 5th hole or so and asked how the pace of play was going, we told him slow and that we were keeping up and waiting on the twosome. He said it was the owners son and grandson or something like that and I guess we were supposed to give them a break or it meant there was nothing he could do? Anyhow, the round took over 4.5 hours as we had to wait for these two every hole. We paid $44 for the round and all of us felt we could have played a better course for that price. We golf all over and give each course a chance to win us over but this one will stay in the bottom third of our extensive list of places to play and I probably will never go back. I'm not trying discourage anybody from playing the course but maybe our standards and expectations are a little higher than others, that's all. The course has great potential as it is challenging but concrete bunkers with rocks and greens that played as if they had glue on them did not win our future business.

Long day......

If it wasn't for the hottie in front of us playing golf in a white skirt we would have left after 9 holes. The pace of play was horrendous and nobody was out to enforce it. If you have 5+ hours to golf 18 then you would enjoy this forgiving set up. It's still a decent course for most golfers but I'm used to a little higher standard. Great for beginners and a foursome of hacks who want to drink beer.

Very good course

Always love getting out to play Thunder Hawk at least once a year. If wasn't so pricey I'm sure I would be back more often. The layout is very good with challenging holes. The greens were maintained and rolled true. I can't think of a negative to say about the course and will continue to make a trip there every year. ( live 1.5 hours away)

Decent course

It's early in the season and the course was still coming in. The fairways were green and the rough was dormant. The greens were a bit rough but I bet when the course is in full bloom the conditions improve. We were from out of town but satisfied with the course considering all the factors. It gave its fair share of challenges as well. It seems like a middle of the road or slightly better course.

It's a great layout and challenge for all levels of play.

It was unfortunate that on a Friday morning when our foursome played that there was maintenance crew all over the course. They were raking sand-traps and spraying fertilizer on the tee-boxes. They were not very respectful to the golfer as they walked in front of our tee shots on multiple occassions as if we were not even on the course. I understand maintenance needs to be done but it should be reserved for Monday - Thursday. The crew distractions definitely took away from beauty of this course on this day. We only make it out there once a year since it's well over an hour away so it was a bit frustrating. However, the course has a great layout. Each hole is unique with a moderate challenge. The greens were spectacular and well maintained. They rolled true and were in great condition. If you can make it out there to play it, I would recommend it. If you find the right deal on Golfnow, you can play this course for close to $25 and that will include a cart and range balls. This makes the course even more attractive.
