Mature course with oak tree lined fairways and bent grass fairways. Course emphasizes accuracy off the tee and controlled shots into difficult, fast greens.

Three brand new holes built in 2000 have slightly different greens than the original holes.

Overall a beautiful Charles Alison designed course built in the 1920's. The course is mature with oak trees lining the bent grass fairways and thick bluegrass rough. Wonderful elevation changes throughout that force shotmaking of all types. The course is always in that fantastic condition that you can only get from a mature course in the midwest.

The head golf professional is Kevin Kwak. Kevin does a wonderful job of running the golf operations and will make you feel at home even if you are a guest. I suggest you take a caddie, which are available on weekends.

New flagstone clubhouse built in 2000 is everything one could ask for in a facility. Good food and relaxing 19th hole make it a great place to sit count your winnings. The upstairs offers fine dining

Great natural beauty cut out of a hilly forest along the Mississippi. Design that requires you to use every club in the bag. Several high risk, high reward opportunities along the way, including an absolutely great finishing hole on 18. Nos. 5 and 10, and 17 are as good as any par 3''s in America. Nos. 7 and 16 are very memorable par 4''s, along with the great no.18.

Coming from the East, I am used to amore "finished" look. Flowe beds neat, areas between holes landscaped. This has a more wild look. Also, there are no caddies. If you walk, you have to carry your bag; and you should walk it-the course needs to be walked to fully appreciate it.

I could not believe this masterpiece exists in the middle of flyover country. It is as good as most of the elite clubbs in the East. Supurb, undulating greens, well-maintained, tight fairways, two of the best par fives anywhere and three great finishing holes. Excellent!
