Nice course. Got paired with members which was helpful. Plays a little long for a super senior. All areas in great condition. Fairly fast and tricky greens.

Always a pleasure. Always delivers
Have played several times and it’s a great course and long enough to be a good test. Fairways in great shape, greens were excellent and not too fast for this amateur. Check in staff excellent. I’d go back. With golf prices escalating it’s important to choose wisely and this course fits the bill nicely.

Good Review
Although we finished in 4.5 hours, the pace of play was slow as we waited on most holes. Nice course to start off at if you're from Wisconsin & haven't golfed for awhile.

Fun Challenging Course 18th WOw
This was a great course. I never play very well on a course I haven’t played before. Very well kept up… even though some of the grass to the sides of the fairways have seen better days.. the actual greens and fairways were in great shape. I would’ve appreciated some instruction on how to get through the 18th hole.

Easily one of the slowest rounds I've ever played and I gave up after hole 13, I won't be playing this course every again and I don't recommend it due to the pace of play.
