Bumpy and dry greens made putting in some holes unpredictable, otherwise enjoyed the course. Staff is always friendly and accommodating.

First time on course, placement is important on some holes, greens heavily sloped so speed is important, pace of pay was bit slow as par 3 & 4 length is a bit shorter than most courses (6200 yds Blue). Staff friendly and so are the locals.

Elevation, lake views and fast greens. In good shape after recent rains.

Overall course condition was good except for compacted sand traps and little sand on them.
This is a good practice course for a variety of lies and angles. Longish drive but worth it.

Clubhouse under construction but temporary one is a very nice trailer. Staff were very hospitable and greens in very good shape. Irrigation projects should help with water drainage and not too obtrusive right now.

Course is now more open after some tree removal, some sand traps also filled in before spring renovations, biggest challenge was the copious amounts of goose droppings on many holes and tee boxes. Overall - good early season price for conditions that were less than ideal.

Long walk but good layiout and very friendly staff. Lots of elevated greens and pretty forgiving, even for seeing the course for the first time.

Behind two major hackers who hit repeated duffed shots and were a hole behind a slow foursome ahead of them. Ended up jumping two holes to go around and there was no wait for the next 9 holes. A Marshall would have been nice. Loved the course and condition so will return.

Water carries provide challenge and require good course management which makes the course enjoyable and requires accuracy.

Have avoided this course for years due to maintenance but see some real improvement. Greens were in good shape though slower than the practice green. Fairways are not as bumpy as before. Tee box grass was too long (lawn length) on most tees, fairway cut was generous. The first four on the ski hill are still brutal but playable but a brutal walk up & down. Will return to play it again.

Actual white sand in the traps and good choice of waste areas where traps once were. Course requires some nice shot strategy and greens were true. Will be back.

Course is well maintained and staff friendly, every time.

Course is well maintained and staff friendly. Pace of play for a foursome @ midday was 4:30 - not bad at all.

They take good care of both courses. Some tee boxes were dry and a few greens bumpy but actual sand in in the traps that was playable! That has been a tall order for most courses this summer. Will be back.

Course was wee after overnight & morning rain so greens soft and bumpy due to feet indentations and poorly or in repaired ball marks. Fixed an average of 3 ball marks on every green and a few errant putts due to bumps. Had a very effective ranger who fixed the slow play problem on the back nine - kudos there. Greens may need to be rolled when conditions dry out.

More actual sand in the traps this visit which was better than the packed dirt-sand misc last time. Greens in great shape, generally fast and true - just a few hops from ball marks. Will return.

Overall conditions were good, some tee boxes were a bit dry and there were a few slow downs but still a 4:30 round on a weekend is not bad.

Played with a local who knew the course which really helped. Liked the layout and course in good shape despite the heat of summer. One annoying thing was the carts and no travel areas - off fairway is off limits for some reason so the cart locks up and you have to reverse in a big circle for the electro-death-grip to be released. That was annoying and directly opposite of all other courses in CHI

Early in season but course is greening nicely. Great course for walking.
