Poorly marked

The course layout is a bit off. There are very few yardage markers.and you would be lucky if you find a sprinkler head with yardage on it. There are a spattering of stakes which can be helpful giving you an aim point from the tees, many are blind. Greens are large so definitely pay attention to flag positions. Bunkers were in bad shape.

Nice Course, Beautiful Views

Played Mississippi National Lowlands for the first time yesterday.. The course is in great shape and the greens roll true. The views are spectacular around the bluffs. Very friendly staff, they moved my tee time
to a later start with no issues at all.
I can't wait to come back in the fall and play The Highlands course! Definitely worth the drive from the Twin Cities to play this track!

Nice challenge worth a look!!

The course layout was a little confusing. Actually played the wrong hole before doubling back to play the correct hole.

Overall it was a good challenge with scenic views. Definitely worth a look!!

Miss National Highlands

Fun and fast with challenge built in due to elevated and descended greens. Relatively wide fairways with large greens. Multiple forced carries. All the par 3's have greens below the tee box with 17 being 175 ft below. Whites are sub 6000 yards.
