Nice public course.

I love the layout of this course. It provides a wide variety of challenges, including lots of tree, water, hills, and slight doglegs. The course was in good condition despite receiving 2.5 inches of rain the day before. The friendly staff make you feel welcome.

Stay out of the prairie grass.

This course can play relatively easy if you hit it straight, but the strokes can add up quickly if you miss the fairways. Bring a few extra balls just in case.

Condition nowhere near potential.

This course has the potential to be something special. Unfortunately, the poor or nonexistent drainage system won’t allow it. There are multiple eyesores around the course, and the greens are the roughest and most inconsistent of the many courses I have played so far this year. Those other courses have done a much better job of dealing with all of the rain we have received.

Swamp golf at its best!

This was my first time playing this course, and I should have waited for warmer and drier weather. The course was so wet it was unplayable in spots. The cart paths were deteriorating to the point where my cart bottomed out once on the cart path, and driving off the cart path was not an option. You often couldn't tell where the ponds ended and the casual water started. Because the course was too wet to mow, some of the rough just off the fairway was over a foot tall. The greens had just been aerated, making it even less enjoyable. I liked the layout and the slopes on the greens. The course will certainly be enjoyable and challenging once the it recovers.

Great condition considering the weather we have had so far this year.

The tee boxes were in bad shape, but the rest of the course was in great shape considering the amount of rain that we have received so far this year. The greens were smooth and fast. It was a great day and place for golf.

Beautiful and challenging course.

I have played this course many times. Although this time it was a frozen swamp, the course is usually well worth the drive. During the regular season this course is absolutely beautiful. Very few holes are straight away, and there are lots of trees, hills, and valleys. The cost is reasonable, and the staff is very friendly. Unfortunately, with the resort closed, the amenities are very limited.
