$36 (cart included), played on Saturday, August 2010 at 10am
A great Track that has 45 holes (not 36 as stated). These 18 are more difficult than the Valley course, hence the slower pace of play. Plenty of water and woods to gobble you up. The Final Hole (18) is quirky, since you have no vision of the green, which is buried way left and you must layup to a flag at 150 yards out, with a small layup area as well. Still, all in all, a great course for the money. The Bog, The Bull and Blackwolf Run are close to the Area, but way up in price, and Whistling Straits, is of course $340 plus $60-$100 for a required caddie.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level, Bargain priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
