Great course for the price. Played blue tees. Lost one ball. Conditions were good considering they had experienced enough rain to limit carts to paths. Greens rolled very smoothly. Lots of doglegs. Foursomes courteously allowed me to play through. Golf Now had erroneously reported a slope rating of 137. Slope on card is 129 from gold tees. Highly recommend to anyone traveling thru Southern Illinois.

Haven't played this course in years. They previously had the two newer nines combined into a 18 which was challenging and unique. Now they force you to play at least 9 holes of the old 18 combined with 9 of the newer 18. The older 18 was almost completely underwater previously so conditions need some work. Some of the fairways are so rough you can't drive your cart at even a moderate pace. Teed off at 6:15, finished at 9:30. Good value for price paid.

Course was in excellent condition. Challenging length from back tees for a 14 handicap like myself. Greens rolled true and fairly quickly. Teed off at 9:15, finished 18 at 11:30. Caught a foursome on 18th green. Great value at $35.

Again as in other reviews the rough made it extremely hard to find balls. Assume they will be cutting it shorter. Greens were above average and deceivingly fast. Unless you were below the hole you end up with severe breakers on many of the greens. All in all it was an enjoyable round of golf. Cart girl was available and friendly.

The length is reduced by a lot of elevated tees. Allows for running shots onto the green. Thought the front nine was easier than back. Drawback of having no clubhouse to sit down and relax after. Greens were supposedly aerated two weks prior but still caused many putts to deviate. Suggest using machine with smaller diameter holes. Great price through GolfNow.
