While it may be listed at a resort course this is far from a standard resort track. Located in a small private lake community alpine shockingly has multiple lake front holes. Usually this land is reserved for homes but the stretch of 10,11,12 run right along the shore.

Note: this review is of the course back when I last played in 2023. Currently the course has taken a step back by all accounts. Lodestone is an example of how to properly do a mountain course. Extreme elevation changes, large green sites, and heavily tree lined.

Wisp Resort is great for skiing. As for golf… $100 for 18 here is laughable. Tee boxes, bunkers, and greens conditions are in comical condition. Only a few solid holes.
