Great possibilities

Beautiful fairways on most holes. Had a little problem with flooding on the 6 th hole. Played around it. Nice challenges for any level with sand and water. This place could be excellent with some TLC.

Pretty course

Fairways are beautiful although the 6 th hole was flooded and slowed play down alittle. There are challenges for all levels with sand and water. I really enjoyed this course and look forward to playing there again .

2nd time playing

Played in Early July and again late August. First visit was great but the conditions have worsened, some minor flooding and high ponds but the bunkers are just about unplayable and some are so weed infested they reallly arent bunkers. Make sure to move the rocks away in some.

Its a great layout with awesome greens and so much potential but without some TLC I cant see coming back anytime soon.

Too much water

This course was not in great shape to start with. To make things worse, there was water everywhere. It has not rained hard in a while, so this makes no sense. Overall, course was not worth the value. Would not recommend. The only reason we booked was because it was available within short notice, but I can tell why it was now.

Great Value

Can’t get a better deal for an early weekend morning round. Played 18 by myself in just under two hours. Greens were very nice which is all I usually am looking for. Bunkers need help but at $65 you get what you pay for. Nice layout, challenging without being too tight. I’m a 10 HC and it was very enjoyable.

Great layout and value for the money!

First time playing this course and was pleasantly surprised. Great mix of dogleg lefts, rights and straightish holes. All the par 3's were fun, and they have a couple par 4's that offer risk & reward if you go for the green from the blue tee box. Greens were in good shape, and rolled really well, but like most courses, there are idiots who refuse to fix their pitch marks (grrrrr). Pace of play was great, played on Thursday in 2 1/2 hours...Now for the bad. The Bunkers, they are horrendous, didnt look like they had been worked in years. Most had rocks in them, and the rest had grass growing in them. Had the Bunkers even been remotely playable I would have given this place 5 stars overall. Sad part is, I seen guys out working the course, but zero focus on the bunkers!?!?. This course would be gorgeous if the Bunkers were maintained in playable condition. Even with the Bunkers being horrible, I'd still play it again if I can get a deal via Golfnow again!

Downhill

I live out of state but have played Midlane for several decades. It is definitely going down hill. The sand bunkers were awful. The greens had many , many unfixed ball marks. We were held up by a fivesome two groups up and a foursome who couldn’t keep up with the fivesome in front of us. I heard they may be going through an ownership change ????

Time has taken its toll

Unfortunately the course needs some tender loving care. The sand traps s are in a state of disrepair. The course has a nice design but you can see the lack of management all around. No water to drink. No personnel on staff to assist with your cart or bag placement. Dead bird on the course. Tons of duck crap all around.

Perfect weather
Used cart

All in all a nice place, but...

For the most part, everything about Midlane was great. Staff, pace of play, etc... The only issue I had was with the bunkers. They are not taken care of at all. It's almost as if they forgot they had them. It got to the point where we would just move the ball out of them because there was no way to play out of there. It was a little frustrating because everything else there was very nice. With that, though, I would still come back.
