Lots of Issues

The fairways were anything but good. Lots of bare spots and holes. Almost flew out of the cart a couple of times driving on the fairway because it was so rough. Greens in general were pretty good but the grass around the greens needed a lot of work. Very disappointed.

Not great conditions

The pace of play was super slow, but it was a saturday. There was a group of 8 infront of us. The greens are very nice but pretty much the only good thing about the course. The mosquitos were awful especially for an afternoon round in the middle of the summer. Bring bug spray.

Nothing good but greens

Tee boxes were rock hard with the exception of a few. Fairways had craters all over them. Hit a perfect drive down the middle of the fairway on hole 3 and was hitting out of dirt. Rough was just as bad. Bunkers were pretty well dirt. I will say that the greens were a little slow but very nice (only reason for the 2 stars). Pace of play was pretty bad. First 3 holes took an hour at least after sitting at the first tee box 30 mins past my tee time. Driving range was a joke. No decent grass to hit off of.

Overall wouldn’t recommend. Will not be back.

Floods easily

The course layout and conditions are great. Fairly open fairways, soft tee boxes, and well maintained greens. Only negative on this course is if it has rained recently. This course floods really easily and gets swampy. The guy in the pro shop did give us a warning before we played. Be sure it hasn’t rained in a while and the course should be great.

Not open

Had a tee time for 5:07 pm. Payed the 4 dollar fee to book the tee time and drove 25 minutes to the course. Got there and no one was there and the inside was locked and carts were put up.

I don’t blame the course for slow play on a Tuesday mid morning. The gentleman in front on me played multiple balls each.

Great Value Course

Course is in great shape, and great value when it's less than $30 for 18 & a cart. Staff is friendly, tee times are honored, pace of play has been good each time I've been there. Can't say enough good things about this place, just wish it was closer to St Louis area!

Nice greens

Best greens I’ve played this year! Overall course was a good shape. The roughs were pretty long, but it had been raining the days Pryor. Greens were the best part, fast and true

Fairways and rough

Today was a very good round of golf, the weather was perfect, the greens were also in very good condition, However, the rough and also the fairways needs to be mowed badly. It's not a good thing to hit many fairways today and still looking for golf balls and heaven forbid getting in the rough. They need mowed in the worse way. I understand we have had a lot of rain, so, Cart path only was understandable, but at least level that off by mowing both, rough and fairway. Due to Covid 19 most amenities were closed, staff was very friendly also. Overall was a good day of golf at this course.

The course has potential.

The layout of the course is really nice. Unfortunately, it appears as if the course greens keeper has taken too many days off. The height of the rough is ridiculously long and some of the fairways appeard to not have been cut in weeks!. We nearly lost shots that were in the center of the fairways on four holes. I've played this course a few times years ago, so I know how good the course can look. It has the potential to be one of the courses considered a gem in the area, but right now its considered a very green dogtrack of a course. Honestly it just needs a little more effort from the greens crew.
