Disappointed

Played this course before it was reconfigured and after. Not a high fan of the changes.
My biggest disappointment is with the overal condition of the course. Fairways were in rough safe along with tee boxes and greens. I will say the San traps were well maintes and certainly fair. Your personal GPS devices won’t work with the changes made on the back nine and the carts do not have GPS. Paid $42 on Golf now and really think for the condition of the course that is too much. Course has decent bones and pretty good layout just needs to TLC.

Nice course

Played Red / White. Course was in good shape fairways and greens. I thought the greens were a little slower than I normally play. Wide fairways huge greens I was only in two bunkers and they were very playable and well maintained.
Pace of play was excellent as our foursome only waited on the 18 hole.Played in just under 4 hours.
Will definitely play again.

Great Course, But …

Love this course. Played it many years ago didn’t remember much from then. Course has natural beauty and great elevation changes. Fairways are generous but many blind shots. Wasn’t a big fan of the greens which many were multilevel and very difficult reads. Typically easy courses will compensate by making the greens more difficult. This course has plenty to work with and in my opinion doesn’t need to make greens unfair ( in some cases) . Also not a big fan of traps in middle of fairways. Still, a must play course.

For the amount of play this course gets it’s in pretty good condition. Fairway close to greens real tight with little grass. Greens in good shape and rolled pretty true.

Hidden Jewel

Played this course many times and always enjoyed it.
It’s in very good shape for this time of year. Fun layout first 2 holes challenge you with lay up shots if your not a king hotter.. we played in four hours with the back playing much slower than the front. Love this course not very long tips around 5600 yds but long enough for us older guys. I love the two finishing holes 17 and 18. Fun homes.

Boring course

Course wasn’t really much to talk about pretty boring layout. Wasn’t it the best of conditions, tee boxes and greens were not all that well maintained. I thought course was pricey for what they offered. Plenty of other courses in better conditions and cheaper.

Boring layout

Overall course in pretty good shape. Rough was too high needed to be cut. Very difficult to find balls not in fairway. Started seemed as if he woke up on wrong side of bed, wasn’t very friendly. The layout was boring. Pretty much back and forth.

Fun course to play

Great course to play and have fun. I like the layout. Holes 1, 10, 17 and 18 require some thought and shot execution. Greens in pretty good shape but we’re running slow when we played. Course pace usually really good. I always enjoy playing this course.

Nice course

First time we played this course traveled from western subs to try it out. There was no starter And didn’t see a ranger the entire round (4hrs). Course is an old mature course with lots of trees and good deal of water. The layout and holes were fun and challenging. Played first 6 holes in one hour. Then we caught up to a very inexperienced threesome who slowed down the course immensely. Had there been rangers on course may have been a lot better.
Sand traps were decent and had takes. Would definitely return and play again. All staff we did encounter (mainly Kerry in Snake shop) were extremely friendly and helpful.

Fun course

Fun course to play, not particularly long but has several challenging holes. Several greens have huge movement and important to be on the correct side otherwise 2 putt is difficult. Course looks like it had many rounds played this shortened season ( as many courses have) and some tee boxes show wear. But for this late in the season not too bad. Greens rolled well and were in good shape. I really like this course and try and play it 3-4 times a year even though it’s a bit of a ride for me.

Tough but fair

Course was in pretty good shape. Interesting course and makes you think as opposed to just grip it and rip it. Course management important. More important choose the proper tee for your game. We played the blue tees (6100 yds) and although many holes play shorter at those tees you had to pick your lines carefully. Greens rolled out pretty good. I like this course cause it always make me think. Always enjoy playing this course.

Great little Pat 3

This was the first time I played this course. I took my 8 ur old grandson, it was his first round on a real golf course.
This course is perfect for new golfers ( kids or adults) or if you want to work on your short game. There is water and traps which all come into play! Greens were slow but rolled pretty true. Will definitely come back to play it. Don't expect to play too quick as it is short and you have to wait for group ahead to leave the green. Expect to find kids and beginners ! Loved the course.

Pleasantly surprised

This was the first time I played this course and I'm going back to play it again!
The white tees are a little short roughly 6000, Blues around 6400! Course was in really good shape for so late in the season!! Greens were not too fast as very
Fair ! Sand traps in wonderful condition!
I loved the elevation change especially on the back, something we're not use to here in Illionis ! We pakyed in a 3:15 course was not crowed perhaps threats of rain keep people away!, but it was a beautiful afternoon! Great course for the money ! Definitely on my replay list !

Great pace of play

Course was in good condition! The greens
We're airated early in the week but we knew that going in! Made putting a little more challenging than normal . Course has a decent layout with a mix of easy and difficult holes. Not very long so you have the opportunity to score. Great value
For the money, we paid $30 and played in
3:45 on a beautiful Sunday afternoon!

Decent course but bring your own water

Played this course on at fairly warm and beautiful day and was very surprised not
To find any drinking water on the course!
There was a beverage cart but we only saw her twice throughout our 4.5 hr round and the first time was very early in the round !
The course was in ok shape greens were pretty marked up and the course doesn't provide turf mix to fill fairway divots . We played for $20 ( coupon from Golfnow) so well worth it, but I wouldn't be happy paying much more ! Course has many blind shots and really makes you think about shot placement ! Good layout and greens have a lot of slope! So make sure you stay below the pin or 3 put is inevitable !
