Iowa boys jus playin

Course was in as good of condition as one could expect with all the recent rain. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Stormfront moved in mid round, but we hung in there, hiding under the oaks and facing the wind w/windshields up. Would have liked for it to have been a little dryer, but the course is fun and pretty challenging.

Hard to identify distances to hazards

On the day we played it had rained earlier that morning, so it was cart path only. Not a big deal but what could have made the round more enjoyable, and easier to play were yardage markers in the fairway that were visible from the cart path. The cart paths wind around, and the fairways are so large that when you get to your ball you could be off the mark with the distances due to the layout of the cart paths. Also something that would have been nice was distances to hazards, our group had several shots that would not have been attempted if the distance to the hazard was known. Most courses have the scorecard with diagrams of the holes to use if not noted on the tee box, but the cards offered here had the bare minimum of information, and no way to know how far the hazard was. Having these small things would have made rating the course higher, much easier.

Course is challenging, but fun

The course has several holes with elevation changes which I really enjoy, plus it makes for some scenic views. All the greens were in very good condition, and their speeds consistent. There are times when the driver is not the correct club off the tee, so look at the scorecards and signage carefully. Will be back, most definitely.

Always fun playing this course. It was a little wet in places but what can you do with mother nature. Our group loves the elevation changes, and the challenges the course offers.
