Nice course

Enjoyed the course, and found the tee boxes and greens to be in excellent conditions. Fairways were just okay. The rough is rough, and the course is a little tight in places, but overall a challenging course that rewards good iron play.

Great course layout. You will need a great short gamr

Scenic course. Most of the greens are elevated. Need to shave some of the trees back from the blue tees.

Challenging and Beautiful course

This course was well maintained and had a lot of different challenges throughout the course. It's a great looking course with lots of trees and of course the Mississippi River.

Blind shots

We both loved the shape the fairways and greens were in but overall there was to many blind shots off the tees and into the greens for first time players here.

Challenging course

The course was in great shape but we had the guy mowing the greens in front of us the whole round. Why don't they start on 18 and work backwards. That way you only disrupt 1 group per hole not 1 group the entire round!! Other than that the course was in great shape and we played in 3 hours. Not a course for a beginner! Mounded greens will drive a beginner crazy.

Course is great, Clubhouse is not clean

Course was in great condition and challenging. Clubhouse was dirty and the bathrooms were bad shape and probably not cleaned for over a week. It made me question the cleanliness of the kitchen; thus no meal was ordered.

Beverage cart was on-time and attentive. Great service.

Beautiful, challenging golf course!

Course is in great shape. Most greens have false fronts, sides and backs. Greens have many crowns and undulations. Placement on greens can be critical. Several blind shots, but not too many. Many bunkers fortified with vertical timbers-beware. Sharpen your wedge game! Very friendly staff, terrific food and nice patio with Mississippi River views.

Makes you think

This is not a course you can daydream around. A sharp, adaptive short game helps. I don't hit every green in regulation so to save par or even bogey you have to figure out the best way, within your abilities to get up and down. The terrain varies so plan your route to the green. I have played the course before and experience helps.

Great course

This course is always in great shape. Fun course to play. Has some blind shots that I am not a huge fan of. But not to bad. Staff was extremely friendly and my lunch was very good. The first hole can be tough early in the morning because you're looking directly into the sun.

Still Pristine in October

The course is still in great shape. The staff is friendly and helpful. The course is still in the same shape as it was in August; excellent. Be careful around the greens, the apron is shaved tight so it is easy to roll off the green. No GPS in the cart so bring your own.

Extremely interesting course

Admittedly, it would be nice to have some local knowledge when playing this for the first time. All the holes are visually interesting , but the playability is actually very good provided you can keep the ball on track. Recovery from a bad shot can test you! Bring your short game!!!
