Classic municipal course. Plenty of trees, but plenty of character as well. In playing here for over 20 years, it's never been in rough shape.
Mary Haag
Great public course!

Love the Olde Course!! Definitely one of my favorite close to home places to play!! Also love playing at Cattail across the street, awesome par 3 course, definitely helps with your irons and short game. But I think the Marshall, who covers both courses needs to calm down, definitely NOT a laid back retiree lol he is definitely looking to bust people… I will not play at either for awhile.

The Olde Course is in such great shape! It is challenging and has many sets of tees to accommodate different skill levels. They have really improved the conditions in the last few years.
