Wow, what a great course. Beautiful, well maintained, and nicely colored and highly visible red,silver, and blue baskets. Nice concrete tee pads with brooms and course layout. Well designed course with strategically placed fairways (not just hope on the next when done, there are some trails through the woods to get to the perfect spot for the next tee box.) Nice markers ro point youbin the right direction as well. Its an hour from home, but will definately be returning ro this course!

Awesome layout, obviously much thought and effort went into the course design and land utilization. Very well maintained by the dedicated volunteers. Favorite course to play by far, mix of short, and long, technical holes, along with some open bomber shots. 11/10 definitely recommend. Nothing but friendly, helpful folks on the course from what I've experienced. Definitely will return as often as possible. Thanks to all who put time and effort into this course.

Pros: + Course design and layout is fantastic

+ Excellent use of wooded areas (holes 1-3 are fantastic, but I favor wooded/piney holes)
+ Significant amount of terrain and elevation variances and the layout often utilizes the terrain brilliantly
+ Two sets of tee pads on most holes
+ Tee pads are of significant size and are almost always well located fair and consistent
+ Although the tee signs do not provide the most detailed information, they are (from what I can tell) accurate and even informs the player(s) what pin position is currently in use
+ Very well groomed (during my visits) with well-defined fairways (the local DG club does a fantastic job of keeping their prized course in great shape)
+ Some spectacular and well-designed pin placements
+ Albeit, the rough can be, well, rough I didn't find it unfair or unreasonable on any hole ( Even the more "open" holes utilize well placed obstacles, making it more fun and challenging than the typical long-bomb-competition style of so many open holes/courses (I don't typically find most open holes much fun, but these were!)
+ All of the holes are quite unique (in my opinion) and no two shots I threw were the same. Great variety!
+ Some really fun and interesting valley shots
+ Good practice basket to warm up with before starting the round
+ The VFW (onsite) has a decent bar that serves food as well, which comes in handy after a day of throwing plastic

Cons: - Although I love wooded holes, hole 11 really has no lane to shoot for. As it stands now, it truly is a "spray and pray" shot from the tee
- Again, the rough can be insanely difficult to deal with and in many places the loss of a disc is not uncommon
- Although I don't mind it, there are a few spots that require a bit of a walk to the next hole
- Again, the tee signs are good, but for this caliber of course they could provide a bit more detail (I'm nitpicking here)

Other Thoughts: Overall, this is one of the top 10 courses I've played. In my opinion, Veteran Hills is the top course in Southwest Wisconsin (yes, even over Justin Trails). Although it is a bit of a drive for most, I believe it to be a worthwhile trip.
