Great course

I truly enjoyed my round of golf there. I'm definitely coming back play there. Very soon. Hopefully before the close of 2023 season. Most definitely in 2024 golf season

The Jewel is a "10"

18 unique holes meandering alongside and through Mississippi river valley bluffs. Scenery is spectacular. Course design is different from Nicklaus/Palmer/Dye/Fazio courses I have played -- Hale Irwin has his own style. Strategic bunkering throughout. Yet playable to the average golfer with wide fairways and rough. Conditions were pristine. Greens fast, fair, and in perfect condition. I've golfed throughout the U.S., and this course as nice as any Ive played ... it's a "10"

Stunning

What a place. This was round two of the day when it was 100+ degrees outside. Thank God the back nine is up against one of the bluffs so we were able to find some shade. Gorgeous facility, given the heat everything was in great shape, and cannot wait to get back there and play again

The Jewel Shines Everytime

The Jewel Golf Course has not disappointed us this summer. Our last round was picture perfect. From the moment we checked in we were treated like pros. The course was in excellent condition. The greens are impeccable and predictable. The bunkers played soft. Overall a memorable experience. We’ll be back!

Things I liked:
- Great variety of strategic holes. A great mix of open, links style challenges and tight tree-lined holes.
- The conditions were good; the greens and bunkers were well maintained. Some of the fairways were showing areas of burnout.
- The starter was very helpful.

Things I did not like:
- Incredibly slow place. No ranger or monitoring of pace.
- For the greens fee, I was surprised there was no GPS in the cart.

Things important to me:
- Rates are not posted on their website.
- The rate included a cart. This course is walkable, but unless there’s a reduced rate, I would take the cart.
- Don’t recall any water coolers being out on the golf course.
- A plastic, poker chip branded ball marker. My least favorite.

9 out of 18 holes had grounds crew on them

I usually don't get angry, but this is a drive and a treat for myself. Drove an hour and thirty minutes to get there, arrived 40 mins early, to go hit a bucket of balls and putt , tee time was 810am. Front desk tried to rush me on the course I politely said no, I wanted to warm up and play a good round. Then it was cart path only which is fine , but 9 out of the 18 holes had staff fertilizing the fairways and greens and still mowing throughout the entire round. The last mower I seen was on hole 15. For that kind of money I expected more out of the course. Also no cart girl on fourth of July untill 11am was silly. Rant over, I personally won't be back.
