I was excited to play this classic old Donald Ross layout (and drove 50 minutes to get there) that opened for public play last year. Overall it's got some great holes that will test all parts of your game, awesome layout and interesting mix with 5 par 3s and 5 par 5s. In its prime was probably a fantastic course but it just looked really weathered. First off the greens were completely burned out. Literally brown. I was pretty surprised that there was no mention of this as it's not what you're paying for so there should've been a discount. They still rolled ok but definitely on the slower side. Also the rough on the back was like US Open penal so they just need to clean things up. I'd love to come back, and just hope that this course survives because it would be a shame for a 115+ year old course to disappear due to lack of support.

Played my first round here yesterday after reading positive reviews of the renovation a couple years ago. Never had ever considered playin here previously. Really looks more like a standard country club layout/vibe/clubhouse than typical north shore muni. Fairways & greens in great shape with consistent rough. I played as a single and they were very accommodating, linked up with a good group of older regulars. Played quick round because It started raining so had course to myself. Decent challenge with mix of holes but quite a few short ones where 5 wood off the tee Is sufficient. Definitely will be back. Staff was great.
