FAST greens, dead areas on fairwAys

Wife played for first time here, lows 50s not too bad for senior. Buddy and I got hooked up w an ice lefty retiree named Tim and we played one tee back from women’s only 5200 yrds. Shot 85. So much easier. Cut away some swamp in front of 18th green. Paid $95 for 3 of us on TeeOff.

David the starter still there, I made him famous.

Not our favorite course in world, wife said 1 and done.

Fast greens and excellent value!

Had been wanting to play this course for some time and finally did. I was expecting it to be nice but it far exceeded my expectations! Fairways and greens were in excellent condition. A couple holes on the back nine appear to have been squeezed in but other than that it’s a great course. Definitely will play here again.

It will take more than one round

Played as a twosome and under 4 hours. Course conditions were fantastic and the greens were quick even though it was a rainy day. We both really enjoyed the routing, green complexes and plan to be back. It will take multiple rounds to get to know the best way around the course and the greens.

Definitely play again at there

During the play, it was inconvenient because a lot of construction dust blew up in some sections, but it was a great experience overall.

Gem in Allendale

Never would I have believed such a challenging course to be tied to a university, but this one delivers. Some tough holes, firm greens and a necessity to really create shots and control lend a great experience even if the score card disagrees. Will be excited to play again.
