Purgatory Golf Club
About
Spread across 218 acres, the Ron Kern-designed Purgatory Golf Club is the longest par-72 course east of the Mississippi River. Nevertheless, the course is set up to be enjoyed by all, with six different sets of tees ranging from more than 7,700 yards all the way down to just under 4,600 yards. Bunkering is one of the club's defining features, with more than 130 coming into play. Nowhere is this more apparent than on the par-3 17th, where eight massive bunkers almost completely surround the putting surface.

Improved Cart Path
I like new new cart path, but not enough, please continue to improvie them.
Course great, pace of play terrible
The course was amazing and beautiful. The pace of play made it almost unbearable though as we were waiting at least 15 minutes at every tee box and completed 9 holes in 3 1/2 hours.
Beautiful November Golf
Love how peaceful this course is and the challenge of it. For fall it was in good shape. Everyone was taking advantage of great weather in November so pace was slow.
Fall Golfing
This is fall golfing time and the course had areas mowed down for the winter. The greens were fast because the punch/dressing time was done weeks ago and the greens are cut short and prepped for the winter. This was my second time this year playing the course. We played ready golf as a foursome the entire round with very little waiting and played at 4/5 hours. Golfers should plan on a longer time per a round because there is longer walks almost every hole from the cart to the green and the cart signs around the greens are back quite a ways from the green. So, it adds to your time for the round.
Great Day On Course!
Enjoyed the day and course. Returning player. Only reason 5 stars not given all around would be the result of cart path conditions. Standing water in various locations with challenging navigation around surface conditions here and there.
Good and Challenging Course
glad to see new cart path, but old cart path needs to be repaved too.
Awesome coarse
One of the most challenging courses to play in my book. Beautiful and definitely a pro tour layout lookalike! It was fun, exciting, and challenging.. definitely a must play if you haven't, and a definite must on a replay. Greens are maculant condition and speeds are lightning fast... Super fun.!!!
