really nice, Apr 09, 2005

reviewer: Anonymous from Pella, Iowa

Just looking at it makes your jaw drop. I just got a job there and know the expectations are high. It's supposed to be one of the best courses a person can find.

Immaculate, Jun 25, 2004

reviewer: Shoots in the 80s from Omaha, NE

This is a very challenging course in immaculate condition. Extremely difficult greens make for interesting approach shots. I defy anyone to get through an entire round without three-putting.
