We tried to play Wakely Lodge in Indian lake last weekend only to find out that the course had closed. Having no other option in the area and having not played the Cedar River course before, we decided to give it a try. Price was decent and we only saw two other groups on the course while playing, and this was mid-day on a Saturday in decent weather?! The layout is ok with some surprising length on a couple of holes. Greens were nice, but the fairways were choppy at best. Driving the cart was a spine-buster at any speed more than a slow crawl. It's the only game in town now, so we'll make the best of it whenever we're in the area. Keep your expectations reasonable, and you can enjoy a good day's hack without much fanfare.
Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
