Jewel

Played in November. Course was in decent shape for that time of year, leaves on ground was not a problem. It was a scenic course and I imagine it is better when all the foliage is out in summer. Glad I printed out the course hole by hole tour from their website so I had an idea of what to expect on the holes. There are some bunkers you can't see well and really need to be aware of their locations. Fairways were wide enough for average players. Greens are not overly fast but they have some undulations so you need adjust your approach shots. Nice course but from my perspective not worth the premium price they charge.

Jewel

Great course. Love the layout. The course is usually in great condition. Front 9 is more open than the back. A person will do just fine if they don't spray their tee shots. Bring extra balls if you do. Tee box's, fairways and greens were in great shape.

This golf course was is very good condition, and offered just the perfect amount of a challenge.
It was very disappointing about the amount of slow play that was going on. There was also no refreshment cart making rounds and on a Saturday a course of that vaule should be doing so.

Not bad

It was a pretty wide open course, I feel. Some tight Tee shots, but if a guy can keep from spraying the ball 20 yards in either direction...you'd do well here. I shot +1 72 my first time here.
I guess I was hoping for a more challenging layout than what it is, etc. #8 was a tough green to hit. I had 160 for my approach and had to try and hit a green that is as small as a table top.

I like the fairways and greens. It is a tough course if you don't have good control of your ball because there isn't a lot of forgiveness.

My favorite course.

I'm an avid golfer with a 4 hcp from the St. Paul area. I had heard this course was a great value and worth the drive to Lake City. Played as a solo on Friday afternoon and flew around 18 holes in under 2.5 hours. Staff was courteous, friendly and helpful. Facilities were in excellent condition - driving range was great, nice short game area, nice clubhouse and restaurant/bar. The course was in immaculate condition - greens were pristine, fairways were tightly mowed, and the rough was just rough enough. Fantastic layout with some challenging holes and a lot of variety. The overall experience was one of the best I've ever had. If you're from the metro area or western Wisconsin, this is a must-play. Highly recommended.

Great Course, Great Value

For the dollar you can not beat this venue, it is a little out of the way but it is a great setting in great condition. Big greens that roll well but have a lot of undulation, make sure you keep it in play.
