The par-5 6th is one of the best scoring opportunities on the front nine after a few devilish holes. Photo submitted by Back9Ben on 07/05/2020

Thank you so much for the kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you had a great experience with our staff and enjoyed the course conditions. We’ll be sure to share your compliments with our team—hope to see you back out here soon!
Looks Better Online
I was disappointed with this course. The photos make it look much nicer than it really is. It’s a municipal course with an unwelcoming atmosphere. Both staff and members were rude, and my early morning tee time was wedged between a league scramble tournament (something that should have been mentioned online or at check-in). When I asked for help, no one could tell me where to pick up a cart or how to handle the situation. They were more worried about the scramble.
For the price, the experience just wasn’t worth it. I played at Raspberry Falls the next day and had a completely different, far better experience. My advice: spend the extra $20–$30 for a nicer course.
I wouldn’t recommend this one unless you’re trying to save a few bucks, or are into the “muni, frat/good ole boy” vibe.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear your experience didn’t meet expectations. While we strive to create a welcoming atmosphere for every guest, it’s clear we missed the mark during your visit. League and event play are a regular part of our calendar, but that should never interfere with individual tee times or the service you receive. We’re reviewing our communication and check-in procedures to ensure guests are made fully aware of course activity and supported from arrival to the first tee. Our team and members take pride in maintaining a friendly, inclusive environment, so your comments about the atmosphere are concerning and will be addressed directly. We appreciate your comparison to other area courses — our goal is to offer a great golf experience and value here, and your feedback helps us improve toward that standard. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future to show you the level of hospitality and playability we’re known for.

What a hidden GEM!
The drive from the road to the clubhouse is worth it alone! The course is fun! The drive into the course was nothing short of spectacular, ranking among the most picturesque I've ever seen. The course itself is highly recommended for its intricate design, presenting a delicate balance of risk and reward on each hole.

Course is great! Staff? Not so much
While the course played Excellent, the round was superb and the partner I was paired with were all excellent—there was a problem. The starter (and only the starter) was a problem.
I watched him before each group went out and for every pairing he tried to start an argument before the round even began. He trash-talked everyone who walked up at bag drop. Trash talked again before sending people out. Then trash talked everyone at check-in.
Honestly every pairing started out with “That starter told me this about you.” Now, not being stupid, people quickly figured out which person was the “problem”, but still…why?
He was such a jerk that several folks stated they’d not be playing there again. Shame. Great course except for that.

Enjoyed the course, only downside was the 30$ spectator fee.
Worth every dollar if you don’t have someone riding along with you.
