We played late in the season and were the only golfers on the course for our entire round. The steep price point keeps a lot of casual weekend golfers away, so pace of play is never an issue. If you play the right tees, you will have a very enjoyable round, but it is a challenging course. Fairways are wide, but you rarely have a flat lie. Greens are lightning fast. Service is absolutely top-notch. I'd definitely recommend playing here at least once/year, but for much less money, you can play about 20 miles north at Thunderhawk, or if you don't mind the road-trip, head out to The General at Eagle Ridge in Galena. Both are comparable.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area
