Solid course, fun layout. A lot of trees and Heather. Hit it straight

Always a fun time, very solid city course. Great low key food and bev selection. All rounds seem to be 3 1/2 to 4 1/4 hour rounds.

Very nice course

Well kept, friendly staff, and a layout that is challenging yet there’s plenty opportunities to score.

If you’re in south bend, you should play this course.

Nice course with lots of wildlife

This course is located close to a marsh and you can see quite a bit of wild life. Today we saw a pair of sand hill cranes, several deer. And lots of geese. The issue with the geese is they leave poop all over the golf course. We haven’t had measurable rainfall in quite some time which means the grass is not growing as quickly and there is an abundance of goose poo everywhere.

I would give the course 5 stars if they somehow could make it so every step you take you didn’t have to worry about getting a bunch of bad news wedged in your golf cleats.

Overall tee boxes and greens were in really good shape (other than all of the poo),

It’s a great value on a golf now not deal time, if you can snag one of these I would highly recommend giving this muni a try.
