Great course for the price. Really like the links layout and nice course conditions. The only thing that isn’t great is the smell coming from the landfill.

Beautiful links style course with difficult, fast greens. Be warned if you go out in the morning, their Tag Marshall screens are calibrated for a 3 hour and 23 minute round of 18 so you will constantly be warned that you are slow. The starter told us to maintain a 4 hour pace. Despite playing a 2 hour front 9 and a 2 hour back nine (to the minute), the ranger was called out to talk to us on hole 12. They really need to fix their Tag Marshall system to avoid this, nothing worse than seeing a Ranger when you’re on pace. The ranger was very nice about it but this should not be a problem. Still, v…

Fantastic course and an exceptional value. The firmness of the greens here for late may in the midwest was incredible. The layout overall is memorable with good risk/reward par 5's and fun par 3's.

Fantastic course! Tough greens, esthetic fairways, friendly staff. What more could you ask for? 5/5 would recommend anytime, even in a bit of rain like we did haha.

Beautiful course. Fairways and greens were in wonderful condition. The greens were challenging but not overly difficult, I found it to be a very enjoyable round. Definitely a great value 🙌 FYI - The rental clubs are pretty terrible. They should definitely offer a better option even if they charge more.

Play was slow, but moving, manager came out personally and apologized, and gave our two foursoms a free round of golf. Beautiful golf course, well kept and well managed. The greens are in great shape and fun to play on.

It was a cool windy day in mid / later October when we played and I would play again. Very challenging greens. The course was in excellent shape! The beer was good and cold, 1/4# hotdog was delicious.

First I want to say I thought this would be lowest on my Wisconsin trip. When pulling in the place was a zoo. I was freaking out having a late tee time we would not finish. Pace was spectacular!! Hats off:) The course was an absolute blast to play and beautiful. Greens were the fastest and smoothest I played out of the 4 courses. Washington County, The Bull, Lac Le Belle. Can't wait to get back.

Their customer service and hospitality is absolutely horrible. Had put on a hold eight times and was hung up three times. It was ridiculous to come to find out an hour after talking that they can’t do nothing can’t even Be a little caring at the fact that I am flying from Las Vegas, Nevada and just wanted to enjoy some golf. It’s sad and. just ridiculous.
