Long course for senior women
Great shape! The greens have recovered very well from aeration and were true and fast. Staff were very friendly. We appreciated their attention to COVID rules for safety. The only drawback is they could use one more set of forward tees for senior women say 4800 to 5000 yds.

Really enjoyable course
Very pleasantly surprised. Fun course. Generous landing zones off the tee. Greens were fast and rolled true. Pay attention to the hole layout on the GPS screen, found my ball in a couple of hazards that I couldn’t see. Follow the warnings on the GPS screen regarding restricted areas, or you will find yourself doing the back of shame.

Good course
The course was in great condition and the amenities top notch. It’s the best course I’ve played in the Des Moines area, equivalent to some 5 star course I’ve played in other areas.
