Don’t miss the fairway !
The rough was absolutely ridiculous. Miss the fairway by two feet and you could not find your ball. Not just in one hole by all 18. That ruined the entire round despite great greens, tees and fairways. You can’t just ignore mowing the rough for a week.

Starters did and excellent job of helping us with an extra person listed on tee time. Playing partner does not like golfing with others yet as she is just starting out.
Thanks so very much.

Nice course
Great course but also pretty difficult. The fairways are very tight and if you aren't accurate good luck finding your ball. Fun course to play a 4 man scramble but im not sure Ill be back to often. Other challenging courses that are a little more forgiving in the area.

Ok course
If you don’t live in the Allendale area it not worth the drive. Plenty of other courses on the way with better value.
