Found this course while driving through to Iowa @ 4pm, did a double take and decided to stop and check it out. Best stop of the trip. They gave me the senior price of $20 w/cart and i was off and 3 hrs later back on my way to Iowa. Played from the tips @ 6,605 but found the yardages different on some holes than what the card said, up to 50yds longer on some holes. The wind will come into play as its a links style course with rolling (up/down) fairways and bring your range finder if you want to score. Conditions were very good all round with no real problem areas and the greens are good size and rolled very nice. Must stop and play when driving through the area and you won't be disappointed.
Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Best course in the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
