One of the Best

Great course having played many Nicklaus designed layouts I will say this tops them all. It’s beautiful, challenging, fair test demanding all your clubs with perfect greens and is in great condition. Greens are awesome tough for sure but bunkers are set such that your misses still give you a chance for par assuming you put and chip well. This layout has no homes around it providing the best scenery around... par fives are tough yet gettable and the par threes are fun. Love this course...

Staff is solid and the practice area is excellent.

I played with my son we are both 2hncp players and would highly recommend this course. Keep in mind play the proper tees/ yardage’s for your ability to make this more fun...it’s hard from the tips be aware...but very fair from the white tees..

Good luck

Renovation Complete Grade C- Missed Opportunity

After year long renovation including designing three new holes, adding large practice area this one time gem of a muni is now a mixed bag..wonderful new hole and layout design coupled with the worst putting complexes I have ever seen. Dubs Dread was bad when they redid the greens and even the pros hated it this is similar.. first the layout was nice before but much better now.. Grade A-, heavy tree lined course site lines are terrific but follow the GPS to help navigate the fairfaiy bunkers...They need some additional closely mown chipping areas in lieu of the amount of green side bunkers. Average golfer will not score well here. The greens now are elevated with flat bunkers alongside. With sharp edges on the greens this makes it harder to play the green side bunkers. As per the design these are the worst green design I have ever seen after $8m cost the sharp edges, multiple levels, especially when you consider the type of shots needed to hit into the green example #2. 445 yd par 4 and there I s at least 7 slopes and levels. 1,2,5,7,8,9,10,16,17,18 are awful poor design dumb amateur shaper must have been on the job. this happens 12 more times.. They can't even mow the sharp edges well. Flex mowers are required and now they need more help mowing in the morning because the greens. are larger with more levels. Good players will score here, the average player will shoot 3-6 shots higher. In Addition this makes slow play a problem. I play all over these greens are a travesty to the game.. Instead of making it fun for the new, older or Average player they ruined it...sorry can't recommend try Indian Lakes, Naperbrook, Springbrook, Old Orchard, Heritage Bluffs, Ruffled Feathers, Buffalo Grove, Chevy Chase, Cantigy,
