Last minute golf

First and foremost I had a fantastic round both physically and mentally! It was an absolutely beautiful day! I finished working earlier than I expected. I checked to see if I could find a last minute not deal on a Sunday! I was elated to find one at a course I had not played in over 30 years so it was a "new" first time for me. Arriving at the course, they had no clue I was coming thus they had no cart for me. They were very nice and assured me a cart would be coming in any minute. 45 of those assurances past. I am not upset just stating my experience. I shot my best round in 30 years almost having a hole in one which would be a first. You asked, I replied. Everything happens for a reason. I love your VIP membership.

I enjoyed the course. It was very challenging and a beautiful surrounding. I found it very difficult due to the 15-30 mph wind conditions.

Rough Grass and Rude Staff

We were playing in a foursome. The foursome behind us started rushing us and hitting right up to where we were. Very rude. And then sped over to our tee box after our drives strongly suggesting we let them play through. At that moment I realized at least one of their 4 players was staff. We let them play through and suddenly their golf game got real slow. That caused a group behind us to get backed up behind us. That group started yelling at us to let them play through when we were already halfway down the 8th hole!!! We were happy to let them play through at the turn.

The course itself was either super dry or muddy in various places. They have a major mole problem all over the place. There is are no visible fairways. One of the greens was ripped apart with big lines ripped out of it. Most of the tee boxes were very rough.

The set up of the course is fine and there is beautiful water around it. A new manager could make this place nice. But for now, I wouldn't play on it. I'll never go back.

9 holes of grazing land for lease...

Front 9 is truly a cow pasture..fairways are l-o-s-t...close the front 9, dig 'em up, replant grass...see you in the spring! Bunkers were last maintained in the '80's...back 9 worth the $10 charge...hire a grounds crew!

Not too bad a course

This is an older course with aging amenities in situated in a State Park in a very marginal neighborhood. That being said, the course was in pretty good shape except for the sand(dirt) traps. Also, the cart we started with had to be swapped @ 9 holes as it was barely running. The next cart was like a jackrabbit but it had nearly NO BRAKES and the parking brake didn't function. Fortunately, the course is flat as a board.

Great Scenery, OK conditions

The course layout is pretty good and the scenery in the state park is nice. The course conditions are not great, but for the price you pay it's fine. Fun course if you just want to go out and play a quick round.

Clean up the course

Fallen trees on course, been there for a while. Remove them. Trim around trees and bushes and cut the rough. Dead grass everywhere.

Glad I only paid $10

If you are a beginner golfer then this would be an ok practice course. If you are an avid golfer and enjoy a decent course, avoid this place. Crabgrass and clover for fairways. Might as well golf on a goat ranch.

Grand Marais Doesn't Deserve the Poor Ratings It Has

Course was excellent for the money. Booked a tee time for my dad and I to play 18 for only $10. Greens were in excellent shape. Very consistent as far as speed goes. About 95% of fairways had nice grass to play off of. The other 5% were dry spots. (To be expected from a Missouri summer). Rough was also well maintained. A few teeboxes could have used a bit more grass, but all of them were definitely playable. Great golf experience for $10.

Course Lay-Out

This was One Of Sam Sneads Favorite Golf Courses

The Lay out of The Coursecis Fantastic . As Good or better than any coursecI've ever played . The Holes are Fun and the Back to Back Par Fives allows you to to Score. UNFORTUNATELY THE COYRSE CONDITIONS , Where Equally Bad! But the Green Fees were on Par with The Conditios $18 on the Weekend So You Really can't Complain. It's worth Playing for the Layout Alone. IF THEY COULD POUR A COUPLE OF MILLION DOLLARS TOO UPGRADE THE CONDITONS. This would Be One The Best Courses In The COUNTRY !

COURSE BEING BROUGHT UP TO PAST STANDARDS

GREENS WERE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THE STAFF HAS WORKED HARD TO CLEAR OUT ALOT OF THE OVERGROWN ROUGH. SOME BARE SPOTS REMAIN, BUT SEVERAL GOOD SITELINES TO PARK AND ST. LOUIS. THIS IS AN OLDER COURSE AND IS ENJOYABLE TO PLAY. BUNKERS NEED NEW SAND. EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY

Canadian geese

Very old course, fairways need help, very forgiving course overall if you just want get out practice and almost every club in your bag, staff was friendly and courteous, grounds keepers were doing all they could do to make sure golfers enjoyed their rounds. Not the best value, but for a course this old you can't expect too much. If they repair those fairways, it would be a decent course. Lots of Canadian Geese!!!

Great value

Excellent value for the price. Got a tee time the day of the round and even though a tournament was on the front, Ken was very accommodating and found us a hole that kept our round moving at a good pace. Greens were in nice shape and rolled true. Fairways have come back nicely. Good course to work on game with wide fairways and small greens. Will definitely play again.

Pat

I have not played this course in a couple of years, because it was in horrible shape. After my latest round I have to say that this course has gotten better. The greens were great and the course did not seem as tight as it was in the past. Now there are some areas that need improvement , some of the fairways were in need of some attention, and there was not a single bunker on the course. I think this course is heading into the right direction, and I can't wait to see what they do to it with time. Also it's less than $20 to golf a round

seasonal damage

This course is usually in good shape but due to bad weather/flooding I wouldn't recommend it. On a positive note the greens are in great shape... go figure!?
