3.00 star(s) You Shouldn't Be Starved For Birdies - I'm rating this sweet little layout an overall 3, maybe 3.2 from the longer blacks, and the previous review was helpful for my first trips around Starved Rock. This is a compact, short course, with a beautiful, strategic, wooded, and hillier final ten...

3.00 star(s) Frontier ups the Rodeo challenge I rated Frontier a 3, barely, despite some glaring outages. I'll start with cons, since these might be a disappointment for some making the drive to, or through, southeast Iowa. This unmarked course has NO signage, distances, or pars posted. The slightly...

The steep-banked creek on holes 2, 4,5, and 6 will...

3.00 star(s) Eagle Point, Clinton Course was nearly empty on a spring Friday at 1:00pm. Lots of well-mowed grassy areas. Most par 3's were relatively doable lengths from the back tees. Two or three holes had mature trees blocking easy birdies. The par 5 (to short basket) was fun to eagle twice! A good...
