Rating 72.3

Situated just next to Potawatomie State Park, Idewild Golf Course enjoys scenic views from almost every hole. The course itself is colored with a variety of native vegetation that complements the lush, well manicured greens and fairways. The rolling terrain provides plenty of interesting contours that range from subtle to dramatic. It is a challenging course that offers plenty of risk-reward opportunities. There is plenty of water and sand coming into play throughout the golf course. The most talked-about hole is the tough par-5 ninth where reaching the island green in two is only possible for the longest and most accurate of hitters. There are mature forests to the right, a fairway bunker, and a towering elm tree in the center and not to mention the green itself is large and undulating.

Course was wet, but it did rain pretty good the day before we went so we weren’t surprised with a wet course. I’d say the course was laid out well, greens were in good condition and tough. I would definitely play again or recommend others to play it.

Change of pace

The course is a change from most in the area. It combines creeks and lakes with marsh and woodland. Several doglegs and initially blind holes. Greens were fair but on the slow side. Fairways are generous but hazards abound.

Hidden Gem

This course has nearly perfect greens. They are receptive to approach shots, roll very well and are with out blemish. The fairways are also in great shape. Tee boxes are a bit rough. But this must be caused by all the play the course is getting.

Well done Idlewild!

For some reason they are no longer concerned about COVID

No longer noodles in the cups and not sure if they sanitize the carts. Why? At least show concern about your patrons. Like to hear the reason for this change.

A standard course

Played here because it was rated highly, it's nothing special. Not a bad course but it's nothing more than a farmer that cut some holes out of his land with the exception of 9 and 18. It's a 2 or 3 star course at best, no idea why it gets 5 stars.

Fun Course

First time playing this course. Fairways and greens were in excellent condition. Tee boxes very nice too. Now once played, it would certainly be easier next time, especially knowing whether or not to use driver off the tee. One thing I would improve is provide a little more direction from hole to hole

Refreshing

I play this course a number of times each year and enjoy it each time.
The staff including groundskeepers are always considerate and friendly. Since I play before 9am the pace of play is great, always flowing no matter how many people are on the course.
I do usually check golf now for rates but have and will play at regular fair priced rates.
I recommend... to give it a try!

Challenging course

I thought the course was in decent shape considering the amount of rain that hit in the previous days. It’s a nice track to play and the staff was very friendly!

Enjoyable Trek

Well designed golf course off the beaten path. Plenty of length, with spacious fairways, most of the time. Could be narrow off the tee on several holes. Some water came into play. Sand traps a little moist, probably due to recent rain. Course in excellent condition. Greens a little slow. Overall, I really enjoyed playing this course, and given the opportunity, would definitely play it again.
