    I played here in 2016. I enjoyed my experience tremendously. I played all of them at the American Club. I was in that bunker on #6. Basically the center of the green. The pin was on the right. The caddy told me to just pick it up. I wanted to play it. I swear when i got in there it got dark! I flipped it to about 3'. A memorable shot. Black Wolf run is the more difficult course. In some ways a better golf course but to each their own.

      @@sherlockholmes60 free hot dogs and brats at the turn house are delicious, really good. It’s a pretty brutal walk (the straits), but a ton of fun. Caddies are great with photos, etc. My advice would be if you land in a fairway bunker and aren’t confident you can advance it all the way to the green, get back out to the fairway asap. The amount of bunker trouble all up the sides and surrounding the greens is pretty daunting and bogeys can turn into triples in a hurry if you don’t play smart (or within yourself at least).

    Do you guys notice how bad of condition the bunkers are in...standing water in a lot, meaning the drainage is starting to fail, the ones around the greens have new sand while every other bunker have junk dirt sand. This is why you don't have this many bunkers on a course, the price to fix even half with new drainage after removing old dirt muck sand, adding the new rock polymer system for drainage and hold sand up instead of bunker fabric and finally adding new sand WOULD BE A INSANE PRICE. 1 - 3 million depending on how cheap or expensive they go, its that expensive because they have 1,000 plus bunkers that aren't needed, that is just what Pete dye does, GOES WAY OVERBOARD ON EVERY COURSE HE WORKS ON, that's my opinion
