$46 (cart included), played on Saturday, October 2008 at noon
Played a twilight rate on Columbus Day weekend. Could not have been happier, though the time of year meant some wear and tear was showing on some holes, overall the course was excellent for October. There were some blind shot holes -- particularly #4 --- where the line of play was obscure and couldn't really be deduced from the card. But the contouring throughout the course, the bunker placement, and the strategic challenge more than made up for any nitpicking I could do. This is a great example of a prairie links, with the wind, the waving grass and the cedar scrub framing the winding fairways. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience, worth repeating.
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
