vey nice

This is a very nice course but has some extremely challenging holes. I had a 10 on a par 4 but still would recommend playing if you don't mind the occasional big number. It killed my score but I'd still play it again.

One of the best public courses in the area.

Well maintained. GPS in cart was not working completely. Pace of play was very good. Staff was very polite and friendly.
Particularly enjoy the topography. Very rolling and undulating.

Excellent condition!

I played this on Saturday. The course is in immaculate condition. The best $17 I ever spent! You gotta watch these tricky greens and rolling fairways!

The "The Hot Deals" was a great value

This course is normally over priced however the "Hot Deals" on Golfnow.com is a great way to play over priced courses

Great Course-Aggravating Hole Layout

This was the first time ever playing this course. I found the hole layout very aggravating, and not well maintained. Yet the staff was very friendly and appreciative of my business. I would rate this course as a more difficult one. I go to ISU and my preferred course around here is Weibring. Also the Fox creek course is unforgiving in the rough. Prepare to lose a lot of balls, and be annoyed with the over thick roughs. You have to keep your ball in the fairway or say good bye to your ball.
