I wasn't blown away by this course. I didn't find it overly challenging, and was wondering why they don't use bent grass in the fairways at the rates they charge. Which gets me to my next point, at their rates I would much rather play TCI or Legacy. Despite not using bent grass the fairways were cut short and played relatively well. The tee boxes and greens were also maintained well and I was surprised how soft the greens were despite the lack of rain.

I also do not like the proximity of the course to the interstate. Interesting thought to build a links course in that location that would obviously generate a ton of white noise. You can hear the interstate on at least half the holes which, unfortunately, takes away from the experience.

Pretty well maintained course, an okay layout, but I wouldn't play at standard pricing.

I've been making the trek out from DSM at least once a year for the past 3 seasons. The course has been in great condition despite the lack of rain. The fairways, greens and tee boxes are cut short. The greens are rolled to perfection - watchout for this downhill putts! The hole and course layout are well thought out and designed. Each hole is unique and different. This is probably one of my favorite course layouts in the area. It's a tight, target course with some blind shots that challenges club selection.
