Beautiful conditions right now.

Plays in a mixed woods and open floodplain area skirting the Vermillion River. Trees affect the flight paths on 7 of the 9 holes with 2 wide open. Recommend playing all 18 tees alternating between white and red tee every hole to play an intermediate length 5430 ft layout. River mainly comes into play on hole 3. So walk over to look where it is before heading to tee because you can't see it from there. If it's been raining heavily recently, good chance course could be soggy for a few days.
