Unreal piece of land. High membership is this courses biggest issue
I'd strongly consider a national membership here. I enjoyed the hell out of it. It's also sort of in between Des Moines, Minneapolis and Chicago in a way that you could have a national and make your way around that region from there for three weeks in the summer. It's so much fun. Good holes. I'm a giant Alison fan so no surprise.
