Ranger needed for pace

I enjoyed playing the course. The course condition was very good and the holes were challenging. I'm a 16 handicap and played from the whites. Lots of water. But we started out with a foursome and on the second hole a fifth person joined us so we played the front nine with a five some. Even with five of us playing, we still had significant wait time on tees and in fairways.

Course wide open

Course in good shape. Greens a bit sllow. Very soft so shots had to be spot on. Not much release on chip shots. Course very demanding off tbox. A lot of water comes into play. Pace of play was awesome. Felt like had course to ourselves. Must play for price. It will challenge every facet of your game!!!!

Great Course!!

Playing this course for the 1st time was quite a challenge. I played the blue tees and some of the tee shots were very difficult There's some water off the tee you can't see. It's almost mandatory to have a Sky Caddie or yardage book to really know where to hit it. The greens were full and fast. Some of the bunkers however, could use some sand. The fairways were great. The pace of play was a little slow but I think it had to do with the difficulty of the course. A ranger might something the course could look into. My only disappointment was there wasn't anyone in the clubhouse I could speak with after the round. (they had a wedding group there, maybe that's why). I will be going back!!

Playable for most levels of golfers

Love playing this course several times a year even though it is 45 miles from home. Could use some rangering to open up play.. On this occasion we got stuck behind walkers who had three holes open ahead of them. They finally allowed us to play through after 7 holes of agony. these 7 took almost two hours. The subsequent 11 holes less than 2-1/4 hours since there was no one in front of us.

Back 9 has some great challenging holes.

They need to level off some of the tee boxes . They also could put some weed killer on the course lots of weeds . Great lay out & nice greens.

There's no better value for a top quality course in the N. Burbs....

LOVE Midlane. Beautiful course. Priced VERY fairly. It's one step below Thunderhawk, but 66% less expensive. It's the same price as Bittersweet, but a much prettier course (and that's not a knock on Bittersweet at all). Pro and his staff are great. This is a must play if you have the time (and a GPS) to get up to Wadsworth.

An almmost perfect day out

The sun was shining the air was a little cool, but otherwise a nice day to be n the course. The course had recovered from the winter and was nice and green, the greens were medium fast.

This course was had allot of water

This course has its share of water (some holes are very picturesque) as well as sand traps that seem to placed in areas that kept me from scoring as well as I would like. all in all, this course was challenging and I will enjoy future attempts to better my score.

Great Value-Hidden Gem

Beautiful conditions even with the harsh winter. The greens rolled true and the fairways were meticulously cut. Had the course all to myself for 10 holes, weather was probably a factor in that (mid 40's and windy). Course is a fair test and you need to locate your drives to have the best angles into greens. Most holes are fairly simple but there are some holes in which you scratch your head on the tee. Not a walkers course if you are not in good shape.

Don't honor confirmed fees

because of there pre-programmed register they could not agree to my printed certificate for $39, they had to charge $40. No big deal, but it held up the registering line and idicated that they didn't think the customer comes first!

great value for the price. run many specials.

Nice course. Great practice facility. Greens are extremely slow though which is surprising. Seems like they have way too much grass in the greens. Very scenic course though and a lot of fun

Nice but Difficult Course

I played late November, but the course was still in good condition. Fairways and greens are well maintained. If you are a little wild on your tee shots, you will get into a lot of trouble. I think the back nine is slightly more difficult than the front. I would play it again.

Great round !

Course was in good shape, especially considering the late date. Course was empty, we had it to ourselves. We played until dark & staff was cordial related to late return of the cart. Maybe the best round I've ever had at midlane.

Great value and enough challenge

Overall, this course is a great value with its challenging layout , well maintained facility and friendly staff. One complaint would be the tendency for slow play on weekends, especially for the late am and pm tee times. If in their budget, course rangers on weekends would go far to improve this fault. I would, though, recommend this course to any friend or serious golfer.

Every hole has character. Only a couple breather holes

Well-maintained course with quick contoured greens. Every hole has character. Only a couple breather holes. Long course to walk due to border housing and some rolling terrain, so get a GolfNow deal and use a power cart. No GPS, but sprinkler heads and fairway plates have accurate distances. Only maintenance qualm is that sand bunkers should have better sand and uniform consistency. Plenty of water. Multiple tees on every hole. The Par 5's are 3-shot holes and all the Par 3's are middle iron or longer. Even at full price. this gem is a bargain.

One of the BEST values

I live in the north side of the city, so it's a bit of a trek to get here, but worth it especially if you can get a good deal on this site. I think I payed $20, amazing. You can see from walking on from the parking lot, looking at the practice green, it is very well maintained. The clubhouse it terrific with full bar and good food. The grass range is great and they even have a huge bag of balls for like
$9. There is a long distance to drive from clubhouse to range, to 1st tee, and then to back 9, with HUGE speed bumps.

The course is a terrific challenge, very picturesque, greens well guarded, fast true rolls on the greens, long par 5's, nice tee boxes, and fair penalties for errant drives. Definitely recommend.

An enjoyable course that's fairly forgiving

The greens drained well despite recent rain. The fairways were a little soft in places but still played well. The pace was good even with intermittent rain. A hidden gem that should be explored.
