Reviewed: Played on:May 22, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Course is well designed, utilizes hills and trees to make appropriately difficult shots without being unfair. Views from the course are excellent. Open holes are in the prairie, so accurate distance is rewarded.

Cons:

Mowing patterns have yet to be established, as this is a new course. This leads to tall grass and mower widths fairways on some holes. Landing zones for moderate to low arm speed players is currently unforgiving. Some trees also need to come down to make holes 2 and 7 more fair.

Other Thoughts:

This is a brand new course with only 9 of the planned 18 holes in place. Mowing patterns are still in the works, as well as some tree maintenance/removal. I have spoken with the course manager, and all the cons we came up with from playing a round are already in the works to be addressed. The provided course maps are accurate enough to not get lost, and can be gotten from the Osborne Nature Center staff. Highly recommend this course for all skill levels.
