Dont go

It’s the same 9 twice for 18. Tight layout. In terrible condition, sprinklers went off at 8:40 AM during our tee time. Cheap but the worst course I’ve ever been to

Very Nice Course

First time my wife and I played course. Didn't get much explanation, when asked, about course and tee box arrangements. However, a certain player on course teeing off before us was quite helpful and highly suggested the Friday Fish Fry. We did do the Fish Fry after golf and that was excellent!

Golf River Island

I promise no matter where you are coming from this course is amazing. The staff there is friendly and the course is in great shape. I’ve played that course several times and it never disappoints. The views of the river and wild life are spectacular.

wet course

Course was very wet as they had 2 inches of rain in preceding days. Lot of plugged balls and fairways were not cut for a few days because of the weather. Still like playing this course and did not know it had so much rain.

Long long time ago

Played a few rounds here back in the 70’s😎 Sorry I couldn’t remember more about the course. After the first nine things went better and all the Jrs were gone. I really enjoyed the course along the oconto river as I remembered. Plan on play here more😎😎

Nice Course

VG 9 hole course. Had an early morning round so a lot of dew on fairways and greens. Otherwise I think it would have played fast. On mens side used different tee colors for 18 holes to make you change club selections and yardage. Well kept course especially for the price!
