I recently moved to this area and live about 15 minutes from this course. I believe the course would get more love, but the fact of the matter is, unless you live in the immediate area, it is very doubtful you would just be "in the area" to play this course and it is most certainly not a destination course. With that out of the way, there are many positives here. There are 15 holes, and almost all of them play unique to each other. Traffic and other players are almost a non-issue. The only area where it can possibly get to be problematic is on hole 12 with a pavilion that can have gatherings going on it it. Speaking of hole 12, this has to be my favorite hole on the course. If you do not make it through the alley and into the grass next to the pavilion, you are almost certainly guaranteed a trip down the rather deep ditch. It's a beautiful and pretty shot to tee off on. The holes are unique with right curves, left curves, elevation, risk/reward elements, very small streams (less than 12 inches of water). The course is well shaded, well marked, quiet and clean.

There are not a lot of cons to this course in my opinion, and the ones I have are not deal breakers. The baskets are indeed depreciated. Honestly....who cares. I have played this course maybe half a dozen times with a buddy or two, and I don't think the depreciated baskets ever cost anyone a stroke more or less than any other course I've played where once in a while you just skim the chains and it is what it is. The first eight holes are very short (less than 150'). I really am not a fan of hole 11 as there is really no reward for your drive as it is a hidden alley to shoot into and you have to land it on a foot trail perhaps six feet wide 150' out.

The only people who will read this review are locals or perhaps other Wisconsinites making a road trip out of the courses here, Abbotsford, Stanley, Dorcester, and certainly Marshfield. And each and every one of those cities have great courses I think that are all distinctly unique to each other. Neilsville cannot be replicated, and it has a ton of personality to it that is is certainly worth making a pit stop here if you are passing through to somewhere else. It is nice if you have a buddy you are playing with to play a "best of 3 here" as it's a bit of a trek to the next course wherever that may be and the course is very short and you will play it very fast.
