Played today as a walk on as my home course is closed for the season. I showed up about 10 am...so I was expecting to have to play at least nine on the "Green Monster" (GM) and was hoping I could play nine on the regular "back nine" and then turn to the GM for 18 holes. Well, I was without question told, "NO, THIS IS AGAINST THE RULES"! So, I calmly explained it is fall, Nov. 15, and no person was making the turn for at least another hour, which was quite evident. I was by myself, and can play nine holes in 60-70 minutes no problem. I would then turn to the empty GM and not hold anyone up or cause any disruption whatsoever. The man behind the counter got disgruntled and began arguing with me telling me over and over "no one is above the rules". Sorry to say, this isn't a rule, it is course policy. I understand why you don't want people blocking golfers when they make the turn. I promise you, that was simply not the case today. So, they turned me away from 18 holes, gave up 1/2 my green fee, and made my impression of the course poor for their myopic and strict enforcement of the "rules". The gentlemen working today needs to be trained how to treat customers well and not have the moral code of an 8-year old. It is too bad, as I've played here a few other times and was treated well. I won't be in any hurry to come back after today though. If I owned this course, I'd be mad at the counterperson for turing off an extremely avid and local golfer.

Had a great time during a golf tournament! I had been golfing here since I was a kid and it’s been nice to see some of the changes like “The Green Monster”. Always a pleasure golfing in the bluffs of the river valley, even though I lost a ton of balls on the back 9. 😂
Green fees aren’t too bad considering the course is one of the better kept and maintained courses in the area. Will be back yet this seasons

What a gem nestled right in the bluffs off the Mississippi. 27 challenging holes will make your outing memorable and what a view

I played Trout Run and Treasure Island for the first time. The courses were in great shape and a reasonable challenge for a mid handicapper like me. Really enjoyed the scenery and course layout. The Tuesday special ($32 for 18 holes with cart is a great deal). I will likely play there again.
