Fun golf course. Routing is less than stellar, with a major highway crossing. Very friendly, good caddies. Don’t decline if you manage an invite.

Finally got to knock this one off the top of the bucket list. Mike Keiser's maiden course is an unsuspecting 9-hole club tucked along the southeastern shore of Lake Michigan, originally bought to save the land across from his beach home from condo development.
