Mediocre Conditions

The course is drying out. Tee boxes are uneven and need cutting. Chipping practice area is ill conceived, most every angle is hitting into hole 10 tee off box. Rough is bare hard dirt but fairways are fairly wide.

Painted Fairways

The greens were well manicured. There is only 50 yards of fairway in front of each green; otherwise you are hitting off some sort of hard pan weedy grass found as rough at most every other course. The bunkers have a mere 1/2 inch of top sand with hard pan underneath. Difficult to execute sand shots. Overall too difficult to execute shots under these course conditions.

Overpriced

The course is overpriced. The golf cart was difficult to steer and well used. Course conditions were average…sand traps hard pan or muddy, greens scared from past divots, sides to cart paths are in disrepair. A course that is in need of fine tuning given the green fees.

Nice youth or beginners course

Okay experience if you’re working on short game. Tee boxes were in poor condition. Overpriced for course conditions and length.

Thank you for the feedback.
We're sorry you didn't find the same enjoyment as many of our golfers. A recent 3-day event just concluded, and the tees are recovering. The greens and fairways are in great condition. And we host a skins game on Tuesdays, where mini tour and regular PGA Tour players enjoy the competition at The Short Course.

Nice executive course

Golf course in good conditions except rough is an inch too long. Ball is buried out of sight in rough which slows play, not necessary. Fairways and greens are in good shape, greens run slow but true.
Price currently is fair but too expensive later in season for executive length course.

Nice Executive Course

Cart path only this week. Overall fairways in good shape. The greens are a bit slow but playable. The rough is a bit long which makes it difficult to find a ball, as it settles down in. Also longer rough contributes to slow play. Lastly, there are too many areas in the rough that have no grass, hard pan dirt only. This has been the case every time I play. Seems over the years those areas could have been repaired.

Unprofessional

No starter. Results slow play. Unfriendly staff. Okay course and conditions. Good for beginners and high handicapped golfers that have low expectations of how a golf course should be run.

Slow play always!

5 1/2 hour round is unacceptable. Caught in high wind rain storm because we were on the course longer then we should have been. The ranger was unable to get others to speed up their play. No consequence, so why would they. Manage tee times!!!!

Staff

Wouldn’t drive 100 miles round trip to play course again. The staff members were abrasive and lacked interest in advising the basic protocols, ie….starting time notification, directions to 1st tee, etc.

Course maintenance is either dried out or saturated wet in areas and greens are hard and fast.

Overall course is overpriced for the golf experience.

Course Conditions

Nearly all sand traps were wet or sand hard caked, most likely from sprinklers which seems unnecessary.

Divots and greens repair

The course was in very good condition but golfers were inconsiderate by not fixing divots or greens., what a shame. An enjoyable course.

Dry, dry, dry.

Course was dry other then tee box. Putting surface was like ice. Sanded greens so approach shot would not stick. Website did not mention these conditions. Over priced for course conditions.

Inconsistent Course Conditions

Greens were not consistent in both conditions and roll. Very difficult to judge speed. Sand traps were also inconsistent, many were full of rocks. Overall the course was not in good condition compared to other times we’ve played.

Greens were slow, comparable to putting on carpet. Difference between an average maintained course and a well maintained course.

Challenging

There are many layup holes, which makes it difficult to score low. The course is in good condition but many wet areas throughout because of watering. The fairways are wide and the rough is rough, it’s difficult to find errant shot balls. We enjoyed our round; however, it was mowing day and it took away from our quiet enjoyment of the course. We were visiting from Denver where we hear traffic noise on most courses, we were looking forward to a quiet day, no such luck.

Very nice round

Course was in great condition. Greens rolled soft and slow. A combination of recent rain and mowing. The course has a nice layout and views of Lake Superior. No breakfast, only lunch. A must play if you’re in the area.

Rate And Course Condition

There were no trash bins or ball washers on the course , very unusual. Sand traps are not maintained . A par three on the course had standing water surrounding the green. The rough on Hole 9 was lined with downed trees and debris. The rate we paid did not match course conditions and enjoyment of play.
