wet course

Course was very wet as they had 2 inches of rain in preceding days. Lot of plugged balls and fairways were not cut for a few days because of the weather. Still like playing this course and did not know it had so much rain.

Long long time ago

Played a few rounds here back in the 70’s😎 Sorry I couldn’t remember more about the course. After the first nine things went better and all the Jrs were gone. I really enjoyed the course along the oconto river as I remembered. Plan on play here more😎😎

Pretty 9 hole course.

Rained down the night before, right on the river, other than it being slightly soggy it was a gorgeous course.

Better than expected

Better conditions than I had anticipated. Tucked behind a neighborhood, down a tree lined driveway, your first shot of the day will be off an elevated tee box. This will be one of a couple interesting elevation plays. The river runs through the property and is in play for several holes. I dug it. I'll be back!

River beauty.

Nine hole course that offers different tee boxes on the second time around giving it a different look. Nice layout that has some tight fairways and tough greens. The Oconto River runs through it on a few of the holes giving it some beautiful views. Can be wet with minimal rains.

Nice Course

VG 9 hole course. Had an early morning round so a lot of dew on fairways and greens. Otherwise I think it would have played fast. On mens side used different tee colors for 18 holes to make you change club selections and yardage. Well kept course especially for the price!

Scenic challenging course

Nine hole with two sets of tees to give you an 18 hole play. River makes it very scenic. Low lying course so could be wet after rain storm. Nice folks in clubhouse with food and good drinks!

Enjoyable

It is a 9 hole course with 2 different tee boxes to add some variety on the second time around. You need to know that going in. Course was in good shape. Tough layout. I’d play it again.

Slow play, odd layout

Although this course was cheap, I cannot recommend. Fairways were in rough shape, although greens were nice. Strange layout, with one set of 9, where playing 18 means playing different sets of tees. Difficult to follow on the scorecard. No beverage service on the course. Worst of all was pace of play. Many older players who were unwilling to allow faster players to play through. The river that runs alongside the course is scenic, but the course doesn’t really take advantage of the layout.

Great Place

Fun and inviting course. Staff is extremely helpful and provide excellent customer service. Golf Course is beautiful with the Oconto River views. Great 9 hole experience. Local members invited us to play in their club outing, fun time! Highly recommend.
