Really enjoyable course on the state line

For my money, this is one of the nicest courses in the area. The fairways and greens are always well-manicured, however the rough can often be almost unfairly thick. Accuracy is rewarded as often the angle of your approach shot is more important than distance. I love the par 5 finishing holes on both 9's, as you're forced to make a decision on your 2nd shot rather than just swing away.

The clubhouse isn't much: a small bar and some tables, but there's a nice outdoor patio and hot dogs & extra-long brats to grab at the turn.

They recently renovated the very large and sloping practice green, but there is no driving range.

The biggest drawback to the course is the fact that it's nestled up to a large landfill. This isn't an issue as long as the wind is not out of the SE.

While there may be nicer courses nearby, this course is much cheaper, making it a great value.

Great time

Challenging course for the money (in a good way). Super fast greens, great pace of play, tough pin placements. Also, the course is in great shape.

Awesome experience, can’t wait to be back.

First Time Playing

Incredible course and a great value for early season play

First time here and I thought this place was great. Everything was in very good condition including large flat even tea boxes, solid Fairways with a couple uneven or patchy areas but nothing to complain about at all.

The Fringe and greens were near perfect rolling incredibly smooth and fast. Every single green was unique with Incredible topography.

Very fun and challenging layout, no driving range but they have an insane huge putting green with a ton of elevation.

For 50$ early season this is arguably the most value I've ever found in a course. Will 100% be back. Can only imagine how nice this place is mid-season.

I was disappointed to see the greens were aerated without being notified before playing our round. We were very happy with the rest of the course :)
