Rough is long and fairway grass is a bit long in places. Pretty solid overall.
This is a challenging course with great vertical variety.
Oak savanna, forest, lake-shore, and loess hill ecosystems are in play.
Tee #3 plays down a sledding hill with an 80-foot drop covering 700 feet.
Tee #6 has a ravine with running water at times and dense woods to negotiate.
Tee #7 has a "high road" or "low road" option.
Tee #9 presents an uphill right-turning dog leg.
While advanced, the course is welcoming to early-level players due to an
innovative accommodation (see "Links/Files" > Homepage > menu Code & Rules).
There is a 550-foot flat driving range.
The practice basket allows shots from below or on the level.
Located in a county park with a nature center, cabins, RV camping, fishing,
beach, restrooms, and a paved 4-mile hiking/biking trail loop from lake to town.
