I Recommend This Course
Excellent course, wish we had played twice
This was the last course we played in MB. Wish we had played it earlier as we had forgotten how nice it is and we would have played in twice. Course is challenging but fair. It was in great condition. There was a chipping area and a spot to hit into a net with golf balls for all to use. Staff were very friendly. Definitely recommended.

Great course with some great challenges
Not long even from the tips but the course is tougher than it looks. Would love to play it again now that I know more about it and would recommend to any friend/family visiting the area. Greens were perfect, rolling about a 10-11.

This course offers a lot.
Great course, played early spring but the conditions were great. Well maintained and manicured. Loved the water, even though I found it a couple times. Tees, fairways, an greens were all I very good shape.
