Course was fun but pace was unacceptable. About 5 hours, 45 minutes to play. Spoke to ranger who was very nice, but couldn’t fix issue. Halfway house had no flavor of beer for 14 of the 18 in my group.

Always in great condition.

Our groups go to course. Fun layout. Fairways in great winter shape. Tee boxes still in great shape. Kudos for having all the leaves blown off the fairways. We have played all courses around the lake area and this remains the favorite.

December Golf

The day was beautiful, temperature was 72 and it was December 3rd. Had a wonderful breakfast at the restaurant which has the friendliest wait staff at the Lake. I joined a twosome from Canada and had a perfectly wonderful round.

Very nice and definitely great for the price

Played the course early November, been a few years since I have played it. Course was in outstanding shape especially for this time of year. Price also excellent can't beat under $40 for a course with this layout in this shape at the lake. Also, one of the few courses that you can still make a t-time online and do not have to give payment info. One piece of advice for whoever runs the website for booking t-times, make it possible to cancel your reservation online and not have to call the course. Definitely recommended and I will be back.
