Waukewan Golf Club

This course was a pleasant surprise. Found a great price on Golf Now and wasn't expecting much. I played 3 other courses about an hour north and the greens were terrible. Waukewan had 2 temps but the other greens were in great shape for early season. I recommend playing this course more than once. There are many blind shots that become easier when you play a second time. I drove 40 miles to play and plan or returning soon.

When my friend Mike said he found a super deal at a course on our way to Lincoln, NH, I was excited. After all how often do you see 18 holes with a cart for $15. per golfer on golfnow.com? Well I think its a pretty regular event at Waukewan. Its an old time course, and once you pull in you will sense that. The staff is very nice, but the golf course has seen better days. There were vast amounts of weeds, crabgrass and dirt in areas of play, including tees and greens. To say some of the holes are "quirky" would be an understatement. We felt our way around and we did marvel at many of the scenic views you get from the high spots on the course. I would say the 9th hole is a very good par 4, that requires two solid shots to get there. The 18th is an odd, short uphill par 4, with a pond in front of the green that makes what would be a long par 3, a lay up par 4. The course is also prone to be wet for several days after a rainstorm. I am sure the staff does the best they can, but they are just dealing with limited resources. I am also sure the local members enjoy their home course at a bargain membership rate. It is that type of course that has a certain niche. I think if you are a good golfer or better, you would be much happier to pass on the bargain rate at Waukewan and play a better quality course at a market rate.

We came to this course since we were in the area. It was a great deal price wise and it was a fun course to play. We will definitely play here again when we are in the area. The views from all the holes were great. The course was in great shape especially since we were there toward the end of October. Definitely a bonus round of golf. I even hit par on the last 2 holes. That made my day. The woman in the clubhouse was very friendly and helpful. We will look forward to playing at this course again.

Friendly staff and great value. They should put a tall flag pole on 1st hole, because you can't see pin from more than 130 yards.

Course has some quirky holes and dense fairway edges. Play in the fairways and you can have an enjoyable round. Course has some wet spots even during dry conditions.

Course was just aerated, but still was nicely conditioned. Macho men beware, it's an iron course. Nice design, Local gal in pro shop was rude and gave no welcome or explanation of where to go. Management take note. She's a stinker! But once free from that, we enjoyed a great day.

Course in great condition, challenging & great value.
Beautiful scenery as you play.

Fun course, target golf. go for it or play it safe you'll have fun at this course. Many opportunities for birdies and even eagles, however if you don't hit a good shot those holes can easily turn into doubles or worse. Friendly staff, beautiful views in fall.

a few (maybe 3 of the 18) of the greens were not in very good condition but puttable..and a few .fairways were wet but playable

pretty good conditions, fun and interesting layout

Several of the greens are in poor condition especially on the back side.

The greens were in terrible shape . Yardage markers were awful. Many blind shots. I would fire the greens keeper if I owned it. Glad I didn't pay full price would have been upset.

We played the course twice and enjoyed it both days. The scenery was breath taking and the course was well maintained even though it had rained heavily the night before (dried off by the our second visit). The staff in the pro-shop was friendly and accommodating.
Playing the holes we found a good iron game was key as the course had short twists, turns and blind holes. Knowing the course the second time through helped lower the scores. I am an intermediate golfer and enjoyed the challenges of this course. We both would go back. Both days we finished just shy of four hours. It was a great deal for a good course, we will go back when we are in that area again.

I got a deal to play cheap there $12. It would not have been worth full price. It had rained the night before so the course was a swamp and the greens were a little muddy. There were some challenging holes. It would be great on a drier time. Worth it if you get a discount not worth full price $50...

While other courses are charging over $70 per round this is a bargain @ $40.

Great time every time I play this course. Some of the greens are a bit troubling due to all the wet weather we have had this summer.

The course was in very good condition, friendly staff, good directions from hole to hole. I will play again.

After the weather the course has been hit with this summer, I'd say that it really was as well kept as it could have really been. Not in great shape but with the friendly staff and pace of pay it was definitely worth the money ($15/18H/Cart back to back days)

Front nine in good condition however, the back nine requires some work to improve overall conditions on the fairways and greens. Could be a very nice course with some additional attention.

Course is in poor shape partly due to heavy rains this past month. Most of the greens are poor and the fairways are muddy and not cut. Course is very short and not a good design. If it was in great shape it might be worth the money, but not now.
