Nobody working

One pro shop employee was there when we arrived. They had a DNR agent turning people away at the clubhouse when we were making the turn. No food or drinks or anything from the pro shop.

Good shape

Course was in good shape and played difficult due to high winds, especially on back nine, but it was fun as a result!

Course is great!

One of the best values on Golf Now. Great layout and great conditions. The greens are consistent and roll true. The fairways are generous, but challenging. It is in the middle of nowhere and very picturesque.

Country Favorite

The friendliness of the entire staff is second to none. Pace of play was slowed by cart path only conditions. Love the layout - challenging but fair. Will continue to make the 76 mile drive to play this course. Greens were a bit slow but rolled true.

Beautiful Course!

We played after a lot of rain so the course was wet. The layout was great, greens in good shape, fairways were still dormant. There was a lot of poa annua growing in the fairways, around the tees and greens. This will die off in the summer but it can leave dead spots. The course had removed (still cutting) large trees that shaded some tees and greens. This was a good sign they are working to reestablish grass where it had died or was very thin. I loved the way the course had many holes skirting around the edges of the lake. Absolutely a great design and most pleasing to the eye. My group lives about 3 hours away but we will come back when the course greens up during the peak playing season.
