Not in Good Condition

Cart paths will beat you to death. Sand traps were full of weeds and had not been worked on for some time.

Stay away

Corse was in bad shape for middle of may! Pitch marks and goose poop all over greens and fairways. Long distances between holes clubhouse was closed at 5 for spring/summer hours! Second cutting was just weeds! Would not recommend !

Terrible course condition

Save your time/money and go play another course at the lake. The course conditions were terrible from tee to green as well as the cart paths. I would not play for $20 a round and its fees are a lot higher than that. Very disappointed.

Great Course!!!

The course is challenging and the layout is awesome with some great views all around course. Very secenic and plenty of wildlife graces the course while you play from the deer and geese to even the abundant groundhogs that supervise your play. The Staff was pleasant and helpful. I highly reccomend playing this course! We can't wait to plan our next trip back there to play. The only downfall was that we had to stay on cart paths due to the excessive rain the week pryor to our outing. It slowed our pace of play but we did not get any pressure from any of the staff to speed up our play. It was as close to a perfect outing as we could ask for for our group of hackers.

Cart Paths a Disaster

Sadly, this course with a good layout has fallen upon bad times, especially the cart paths which must be similar to a wagon train ride over rough terrain. Greens were OK mostly, but the attention to damage was non existent.

I would not play this course again until the issues are addressed.

Ian

This course has a great layout with lots of elevation .

Challenging but playable it’s a fun course.

The one drawback is that this is the four seasons ‘2nd’ course that doesn’t get the attention it deserves in terms of course maintenance.

The course can be dried out at times but overall one of my favourites in the ozarks.

Played the sister course which is better kept and a little more challenging (however subtle), but choose to play this course, because of the layout. Also played Osage national and old kinderhook.

Great courses in the area. For layout I choose the ridge.

Greens

The greens were full of fungus. Huge dead spots that were dirt. Digger wasp holes.

Fairways were very dry.

Bad Greens

The greens were in very bad shape. They had hornets nest in the greens, black mold and brown spots at every green. It was totally not worth it. Play kinderhook or osage.

Staff left before we made the turn on a Sunday at 1:30 in the afternoon. Doors were locked nothing to eat or drink or facility's available. $75 was a joke!
