Midlane Country Club

Played my first round back at Midlane since the historic flooding in 2017. Course is mostly recovered from last year's flooding despite the recent rains. Course was in great condition minus the usual summer stress and recent weather challenges. Facility has new carts which makes for an enjoyable round. Looking forward to seeing what the new management company does to continue to improve the course given the overall improvement since last season. I can honestly recommend Midlane as a must play golf course!

This used to be a really great/fun course.

New management (Golf Visions) has take over the course this year...and it shows.

Dandelions in the fairways?

Poorly maintained tees, bunkers, fairways & greens?

Dead Ash Trees everywhere (dead for years)?

Cart paths falling apart?

No drinking water on the course at all?

Almost no merchandise in the Pro Shop?

Very unfortunate how Midlane has gone downhill.

Used to be a fun place, not now.

The course is a bit out of the way for me but I had been interested to try it for awhile. Not surprisingly it was pretty empty for a mid-week, mid-day round. The very small staff was nice and amenities seemed ok. I caught up with another single after a few holes and he know the course well which helped a lot. The layout is very nice although a bit on the short side. I was disappointed that the carts did not have GPS and finding yardages was not easy. The real downside was that they whole course was quite soggy and the front 9 was barely even playable. There had been quite a bit of rain in the past week but was dry the days before my round but it seems that drainage there is quite a problem. I would play again under drier conditions but not sure I would make the journey unless I was already in the area.

Poor playing conditions; greens were bare in spots; previous damage from standing water.

Course was in bad condition ....traps had no sand just hardpan.

The greens were terrible with little or no grass , many burned out .

The layout of the course is that of a championship design. However, it looks like they are not making enough money to keep the bunkers weeds and overall course maintained. I would have loved to have played here when they first opened. Must have been gorgeous.

Had a 6:45 tee time and we showed up at 6:35 with people waiting to get in the club house that had a 6:00 tee time. We waited until 7 and left because no one was there at that time and we had a hard stop. This was a first for me.

I used to play this course all the time about 10 years ago and it was fantastic!

I played this holiday weekend with my wife and it was horrible!

The grass was long in the rough and the fairways were pretty beat up too! Not a lot of sand in the bunkers and goose crap all over the place!

I got a hot deal to play this course and tried to get through all the set backs mentioned above.

I won’t be heading back there any time soon- Hot deal or not!

I guess there’s new management at Midlane.

If you play there anytime soon, you’re definitely in for a long day!

Midlane is in decent shape. Greens were rolling nicely and some good fairways. Traps are complete hit and more miss...and need new sand. Some tee boxes pretty chewed up tough to find a level area especially on the par 3's. Nice practice area grass range. With Golfvisions taking over the management shower/locker room is no longer available. Carts are no longer allowed in the parking lot. Average beverage prices and there was a nurse out on the course. NO WATER on course so provision up on hot days. The carts do have removable coolers to take into the bar which is a nice touch. No GPS so bring a garmin or laser...250/200/150/100 usually marked by stones in the fairway...that's it.

Midlane has water to carry and fend with all over the place - the landing areas are generally fair but after a while it just gets old. Thought I was playing the same par 4 over and over again. All three of the par 5's have water/sand to go over on your 3rd shot. All 4 of the Par 3's are pretty much the same distance. Traps front greens or are well positioned fronting part. Greens have some slope but none of them got me overly excited in regards their creativity. Areas with flood damage from last season which other reviewers noted. Lots of geese and droppings in several areas mainly on the front nine.

From the whites 6159/132 it's plenty of challenge. A number of tee shots play slightly uphill with less roll out - Midlane reminded me of Florida courses with no alligators - almost flat as a pancake. While it's a "pretty" routing it will become a mosquito haven swamp later this season.

We had a Memorial day weekend 11am Sat tee time and the place was virtually empty. We got around in 4 hours. Now I know why....it's a once a year course at best....downgrading well over a star because of the sameness challenge of every hole. You could probably play this place with 6 or 7 clubs. Thinking about it that's about all I used.

I met the new Operations Manager, Austin. Seems like a really good guy. The previous head Pro, Mike Chappel is no longer there.

Course was in good shape for the winter we have had. Greens were excellent. This course is a gem. Lots of water, but beautiful and challenging. Enjoy your round. Be sure,to replace divot marks on greens and hurry up to keep pace of play moving. Looking forward to see what new owners will be doing to clubhouse, course, etc.

Had a great day for Oct. 21st and played with some nice guys. The coarse still has quite a few bad spots from this years flooding problem but was playable. Greens are in great shape.

the front nine must have been debated by the heavy rains we experienced early in the summer. the fairways and tough r have mud on the other hand the greens were fine if it looks like this in Oct how bad has it been all summer. course should disclose this in their advertising. I had a hot deal for 27 dollars and that was top much wasted my sunday

Nice course, BUT when I called to check to see if they might be aerating they didn't mention the course is still experiencing severe water damage from a couple of months ago. 2 holes were roped off to make way for re-seeding. They should have mentioned this. There also were several other holes under stress.

3 holes temp do to floods but they have in very good shape excellent staff

Remains fun and challenging course for all handicaps. Holes 6 & 7 under repair because of flooding, but still playable, modified to par three, and driveable par 4 for 7th..OK!

Greens great as always

The front nine is still a mess from the heavy rain in June. We got a great price, but anybody who has paid full price to play with the poor conditions of the front nine deserves a refund.

Midlane is a bit of a hike but well worth it. Great holes shooting over water, some tough bunker play, a few doglegs in for good measure. Fair but challenging course. Reason for not 5 start is a few holes have suffered some because of the rains.. Whites at 6100 yds. Well worth the $39. Cheers!
