A written review not just star’s

Wish others took the time

Almost,a all good review

Older Gentlemen at pro shop counter exceptional

Greens as close to a 10 as a muni can be

Smooth and same cut ,a little firm

Fairways a fair 7

Tees a little high

Bunkers , well you know it’s a muni

Overall condition,very good

No ranger, seen for help,3 groups in front of us very slow

From our group back, waited on every shot after 3rd hole

Should have been 4hrs turned into 5+😡

Nice Course. Some Challenges.

Course was in great shape. They always do a great job on maintaining the course condition. Staff is super friendly. Unfortunately, we got rained out after 6. Had no delays or issues during those 6 holes. Pace was fine, no waiting. Nice course for the money.

Scenic and challenging.

Solid test of golf for all levels.

If you can hit 250+ jump on the blue tees and play close to 6700 yards. The real challenge is to play the ball down. There are subtle hills and hidden hazards forcing good decision making. Bunkers are well placed but many have been converted to seed grass, I assume to cut back maintenance cost.

I played with Terry Schill who has for years been the best iron player in the state of Indiana. He hit 17 of 18 greens but only made three birdies which reflected the difficulty of the greens. Mr. Schill said there were small breaks not easily read.

Overall please go play here and not worry if you forgot anything because the pro shop is very well stocked. Great parking and east to navigate. Whatever you do play the correct tees. The white tees are too hard for the average golfer.

Fair warning.

Good Course For The Money

Course is in very good condition. Greens are decently fast. Pace of play was okay, but we had an early tee time. Unfortunately we were rained on and got only 6 holes in. No problem getting a rain check credit for the remaining 12. Eager to go back. Fun course.

What a surprise

I had seen this course on GN but wondered if it was worth the 40 minute drive from where I live. Totally surprised at how nice this public course is! I am going back for sure. Very well worth the modest green fee to play!

Poor condition

There are weeds in all fairway bunkers. Last few holes too tight. Would not play without hard hat! Out group got hit once and just narrowly missed 3 others times including one ball on 18th tee box that missed me by a foot on the fly. Not one person ever yelled four or apologized!

Challenging

Beautifully layed out. Well taken care of. Fast greens. Would only play here during the week. Overcrowded on the weekends. Should not take five and a half hours to play 18. Hit and wait gets old after the first few holes.

Really nice course.

The course looks like it will be easy and not worth it. But it is actually a challenging course. There are some holes were i got confused on which pin was for my whole. Overall really nice course and a very warm and welcoming staff

Nice course with forgiving opportunities

Played the course for the first time today with my son and it was in excellent shape. The course is fairly open with some nice rolling hills that allows for you to make some mistakes but gives you some opportunities to recover. It was a great experience at the course, I caked ahead and was Anne to move our tee time up twenty minutes and the pro shop was grassy to work with, so we were ahead of most the groups and finished our round in 3 hrs 48 minutes. I would love to play the course again in the future and suggest to course to all levels of skills.

Slow and Good Day

Course was in really nice shape. Lush fairways and rough. Greens slower but true. Overall the course was in good condition.

Downside is play was slow. Did not see a ranger who could have speeded things up. Our round took over 5 1/2 hours. I didn’t need to be anywhere after the round, but if I did, it would have been frustrating.
