Had time for an afternoon "Tune-up" before playing at Grand Geneva "The Brute" tomorrow and this tight little Nine (9) hole (2,762yd / Par 35) was recommended.

The course has rolling, tree-lined fairways with small protected (sand traps) greens making it a challenge from tee to green. Paid $15.50 to walk 18 holes. Played 18 holes in 2.5 hours and got a good practice in to get ready for tomorrow. The course was a little rough for after winter conditions but I've seen it in the past summers looking better ...overall.

All holes are straightforward from the tees with some fairway traps/trees that tighten up the short yardage.

Number #9 530yds / Par 5 having water down the LH side was the longest hole and most challenging. Shooting 42/38 w/34 putts showed me that my tee accuracy/club selection needed to be improved to score low on this layout. Trying to hit driver here should be avoided on the short Par 4's and play for the 100yd shots as I did on my 2nd loop. Good place to work on keeping your shots straight and hitting small good rolling greens.

This is a great little course that I play 2-3 tines a week. Not long, but narrow and easy to get into trouble. Club selection is very important off of several tees. There are several reachable par 4s for better golfers, but any hoik or slice and you are in trouble. I've seen low handicappers play this par 34 in the 40s.

Very interesting layout takes advantage of creeks/valleys running through. As a result, many fairways feature elevated tees/greens, with gaping draws somewhere in the fairway, making for interesting shot strategies at times. Most fairways play fairly narrow, so errant shots will have you playing out of trees or having to hit a second ball.
