Great course, come a long way!

This course has came a long way in the last couple years. The greens still had just a few spots but other then that played true and fast. It’s a great layout without water so great for the beginner golfer! My daughter and I went out during the week and it was empty but the grounds crew was hard at work.

Too Much Crab grass

The amount of crab grass on in the fairways made playing less than enjoyable. Hopefully, this issue will be addressed and I would be willing to recommend thi course again.

Another Surprise In Alton, IL

Not a bad course. Greens were small, but in great shape with consistent speed. Played on a Saturday afternoon (1130). Pace of play was fantastic! Never had to wait or be pushed. I will go back for another quick nine!
