This is a course I try to play at least once a year. For the player who hits the ball straight, it may not be too difficult a course, but there are enough trees, dog-legs, and water hazards to complicate your day if you wander from the fairways. It has many elevation changes to keep you wondering even if you are in the fairway. The fairways are often wide and forgiving, but are often brown native grass, so it's not always an easy lie to hit from. The course is in pretty good shape, and is always fun to play. It's like so many of the many 9 hole courses in ND, not always groomed like a fancy 18 hole course, but challenging, enjoyable, and you normally don't have someone on your tail trying to push you faster than needed.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: Average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
