Course in poor shape

Course was in very poor shape. Most of the holes looked as if the hole locations haven't been moved in over a week. A ton of cleat marks to deal with on every putt. Plus the bunkers were the worst I've seen bunkers in a long time. Most of them had no sand and was like hitting off a hard pan.

I would not recommend playing this course to anyone the remainder of 2014.

Always a pleasure, beautiful course in nice condition

Challenging well conditioned course with lots of creative shot opportunities. Big course depending on which tee markers, but lots of variety with no two holes or shots the same.

Walked

Bring the bug spray, but go play it

Been a few years since I'd been to Blue Top. Fantastic shape, and the greens are great. Great practice facility. I got a hot deals time ($40 rather than $80) and had the first tee time so I zipped around, and walked it. I don't think they get a lot of walkers, but aside from two holes it is very walkable.

The one draw back, and it was years ago, the bugs are thick. Just be prepared and buy some spray in the proshop because they don't sell it on the beer cart (they should cause they'd make money)

Rained out, but great customer service

Ours was a classic day of three guys desperate to play golf. We drove two hours in the morning to the nicest course in Iowa for a planned all-day-play (it was a father's day present from our wives). We got rained out and drove to two other courses hoping to find one that wasn't in the path of this massive thunderstorm. Anyway, we ended up back home, Iowa City and jumped at a chance that the storm would miss Riverside. We bought the Golf Now tee time and cruised to Blue Top. We flew through nine holes before our hubris caught up to us and the thunderstorm returned. The manager in the clubhouse gave us each a gift card for the full amount payed on Golf Now. We got in some golf and didn't end up paying for it. It was great consolation for what was supposed to be an epic day of golf!

Bugs,Bugs,Bugs!!!

The golf course was great but the bugs were extremely terrible. We had so many insects flying around our faces and in our ears and nose that it made it hard to concentrate on your shot or to really even have fun.
