RUDEST GROUNDS KEEPER

Had the smart mouthed groundskeeper follow us with his lawnmower for about 5 holes. When we asked him if he was going to keep following us, he shot off his mouth by asking us if we wanted him to keep following us. At one point he drove straight towards us as we were in the middle of teeing off. RUDEST GROUNDSKEEPER I'VE EVER MET. PLENTY OF OTHER COURSES TO PLAY WITHOUT RUDENESS.

Nice Practice Course

I come here to play a quick 9 on the weekends when I'm in the area at my Lake House. They have 3 nine hole courses they switch out everyday depending if you're playing 9 or 18. The greens are very nice but small, the sand traps are awful, half dirt, half sand. The grass is usually a bit high. The water hazards are Ponds off to the side of the holes or in the back, nothing very scenic. They have a driving range, practice sand and green area which is helpful. The bar/restaurant seemed cool but I have not experienced it yet.

Immaculate Greens, Fast and Pure!!!

Over all, the course was is great shape. Fairways rolled out and the greens were fast and pure. I did not have one single issue with any pitch marks, the greens were absolutely perfect. The course layout is very interesting. They have three 9's, Valley, Prairie & Creekside. I played the Valley & Prairie. The Valley course is only 2900 yards from the tips. I was only able to use my driver one time because of the doglegs and trouble, and that was on the 433 yd 9th hole. The Prairie course was longer, 3175 from the tips and was a totally different layout, so I was able to hit driver on all the par 4's & 5's. The only issue I noticed while playing, was that their bunkers do have small peebles mixed in with the sand, I personally was not in any of them but the guys I was paired with were and they took the time to rake the peebles away before hitting. Over all, I'd highly recommend this course, it was one of the best conditioned punlic courses I've played on all year, and doing it for $30 bucks via a hot deal made the experience even that much better!

Fun Course - Different Ways to Play

This course is unique in that they have 27 total holes to play. They rotate every 2 weeks which course is the 9 hole course, and which 2 combine to the be the 18 hole course. My group and I played the Prairie course which was lots of fun. The greens were all well maintained and in great shape. The course itself has wide and mostly open fairways which made finding our shots relatively easy. Overall we all enjoyed the experience and will definitely be back for future rounds and to try the other courses!
