Omg

Over half of the greens were sand. It looks like they haven’t done maintenance on it for a month. Couldn’t see the flags as they were laying on the green because they hadn’t moved the pins forever. I can’t believe they would charge that amount cut the fee in half maybe worth it

Beyond Poor

They gave up on this course years ago. Tee blocks hadnt been cut in at least a week. Greens covered in sand and were unplayable. An extremely friendly staff was the lipstick on this pig.

Cow patch

Very poorly maintained, really just a cow patch without the cows. No maintenance at all, cart path just broken asphalt, clover and all sorts of weeds on the fairways, the rough really is just underbrush, most greens are sand.

Friendly Service, Disappointing Course

While everyone was friendly and the pace was good, the greens were totally off. Putting was nearly impossible on the Sandy, bumpy service.

Excellent layout, but needs some work

We have never played here before and had no expectations. We had a good day at a well designed course, however the course needs some serious attention all around. We will try it again next year, hoping that this was just a bad year in the way of tees, fairways, greens, and rough.

Course should be sold

It is a nice layout but is right on the edge of losing it forever and should be sold to someone who would give it the maintenance it needs. There is no grass on the greens or fairways and I mean none. There is more sand on the greens then grass and I mean thick. Only surprise was the bunkers which actually had sand and were easy to play.

Fun Practice course that needs TLC

I read all the poor reviews but couldn’t find any Tee times that fit when I could play so I booked. I went with low expectations and just wanted to get some swings in. The tee boxes were either clover or sand. The fairways were some grass but mostly crabgrass. Most of the greens were sanded. Some were worse than others. The cart paths had us cracking up. They were really bad. All that and I still had a good time because I was with my son playing golf. Know what you’re getting into and you’ll be fine. Cheap place to work on some areas of your game that may need work. Staff was very welcoming and friendly. If I want great lies and plush conditions, then Im gonna pay for it and play elsewhere. If I want a cheap quick round for practice, I’d come back.

PROBABLY THE WORST CONDITIONED COURSE I HAVE EVER PLAYED

Despite being a nice layout and very friendily staff this course is in the worst condition of any course I have ever played. There is not one puttable green, there is not one tee that has grass on it and virtually no fairway has any but stubs of grass. I would however say the sand bunkers were quite nice with a decent amount of sand. Don't be swayed by the price just go somewhere else.

Course has gone to seed

Do not think anyone is doing maintenance
on the course. Have never seen anything so bad.
Pace of play is great because no one is there.

Off-season

It is the off season for course conditions but the greens were all covered in hydro-seed so they basically were just bunkers with a hole in it. Their tee boxes were not good at all, their fairways were brutal and the rough was non existent (just mud basically). Bunkers full of water, they tried to tell us it was because they got rain on the Saturday but we were playing on the Tuesday so the rain shouldn’t have been an issue. Staff were great though, nice people.

Need money

Looks like they need to Call Governor Evers of Wisconsin. He gave $300,000,000.00
