It’s a shame “U-dub” isn’t rated higher in the state. I think some past reviews before the course got a facelift is dragging its rating down. Unfortunate. It’s a terrific 21-hole course that challenges even the most talented of players. Mop up with birdies and (potential) aces on “The Loop” (holes 6 through 14) and hold on to your butts for the final 12, which winds you through a woodsy small college campus.

Old course that ran through the west part of campus was great. 18 holes, a few technical and a few open wood, but it was a nice balance with hole 10 testing the grit of most players' distance throws with a par 4. Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and the course was moved because of construction of a football field right where the back 9 used to be. Now, the course is 12 holes on the east side of the campus, and it consists of almost only technical holes, uphill or downhill only. The new course is short and difficult, and is nowhere near as fun to play as the old course.
