Good public course that has unfortunately skyrocketed in price and maintenance has plummeted.

Absolutely beautiful woodsy track … they are under renovation since summer 2025…The Preserve at Eisenhower golf course is what they’re calling it. Their pro shop is in a trailer. They haven’t built the clubhouse.

Way too easy of a course for far too much money. Pace of play can be pretty miserable a lot of the time. Scenery consists of powerlines and a cemetery which is not the most enjoyable backdrop to have while playing.
