(Part 1/2) Wow. What a journey. Long story short, this course would be best off being sold to the quarry across the street. I have been golfing at this course for quite some time, before it was an 18 hole course even, and it is STILL not in any great condition. If anything it’s starting to get worse from some improvements they’ve made over the years. First of all, the pricing is way too high for what the course is. Prices are raised when you have a better product to offer, so why should people be paying more for a product that hasn’t changed in the past 15 years? (Not to mention their seasonal pass holder “membership” offer that literally only includes green fees. No range, no carts that are still $15+ to rent, and no other typical benefits you would get at any other course. What a deal!) The new interior of the clubhouse looks great… for the 5 minutes I spend in there… and all the drink prices, alcoholic and not, were way too high to have any of my interest. Even hitting range balls is too much. Just one size for that much? If I’m playing golf I just want a little warm-up, not an entire bucket to tire myself out. Just does not make any sense. And then we get to the course. Right off the bat, I see the wide patches of clover that is consistently seen all over the course. Very nice. They put in new yardage signs, in different places of the old ones, so all the landscaping from the old ones looks so awkward and out of place. Even nicer. The tee boxes are decent, depending on what hole we are discussing. There’s times where tee markers are aimed so far off the fairway, or par 3s that are just all torn up from divots. The fairways are also decent, except for your occasional burn out patch (pictured), clover patch, or random tall pieces of grass that they can’t bother to get rid of. And that’s just on the front. The back is just patches of dirt for most of the fairways. I understand it used to be a farm field… 15 years ago? It was extremely exciting to see them drive a truckload of sand to spread across 12s fairway, in the middle of July, in peak golf season, basically making it a penalty to hit the center of the fairway. What benefit came from this? Not to mention, it’s sand. The wind and rain over the next couple weeks that followed literally washed it all away. What an excellent use of money! I will say it was a nice change of pace to finally play out of sand, but I didn’t expect the sand to be in the middle of the fairway where you’re supposed to hit it. On the topic of fairways, they are gradually cutting them smaller. Whether it’s shorter to where some people can’t even reach it, or skinnier to where good drives still get penalized. This includes the nice aprons they use to cut in front of the greens on the par 3s they have just now completely neglected (pictured). Looks absolutely stunning. Thank god we got those new yardage signs. Onto the next topic is the greens. This is my favorite part. First off, they are impossible to hit approach shots to. You either hit into the fridge that is long and spongy to where the ball doesn’t go anywhere, or you hit the green and it bounds the length of the green way past where you wanted it to go. Very fun. It would also help if the greens were a little larger, which very similar to the fairways, they are getting smaller as well. You go to most courses and they have their green sprinklers in the fringe just off the green. Their green sprinklers are 5 to 10 feet in the rough. Which doesn’t help because the rough gets just as much water as the green making it U.S. open thick and long, which is completely inconsistent with the dead rough on the rest of the course. However, I am not sure I would trust them to make that adjustment. The way they cut greens now looks like a blind person does it. The edges where it meets the fringe is ungodly inconsistent (pictured). Almost every green you can see it accidentally cut too far into the fringe where it is now starting to die, or cut too far into the green where they, imagine that, are making the green smaller. It’s just so unprofessional.

Not sure why the recent reviews are so mean. The course isn't Augusta National, but for $32 for 18 holes with a cart (senior rate) it was a fun course. The greens are large and nicely maintained. It's August so the fairways are a little dry, but for the most part in good shape. The staff we dealt with were very friendly and accommodating. We are traveling from Northern Wisconsin and had stayed at a nearby KOA campground, the course was conveniently nearby so we gave it a try. Thanks, Crosswinds for a fun 18 holes of golf. ❤️ 2 ⛳️

Just moved to the area and decided to check this place out. The pro shop doesn’t have squat. So if you don’t have it with you then you’re going to be without it. The 30-40 male working had zero ambition and was very unwelcoming. If you don’t like your job find a new one. They only sell one size range balls which is $8 for 40 balls. The balls are beat up and many are cracked in half. Good luck finding a decent spot to hit. I get that we have been in a drought which doesn’t help. Shrink the hitting areas down and rotate them out daily (doesn’t cost anything). Water is lacking but you can drive a point well to water the hitting area for less than $600. The club house is right there so powering the pump isn’t an issue and the water table is only 20-30 feet down. Have your ranger pick up lost golf balls to use for range balls. Instead your ranger is sitting on his butt talking the whole time. I’m sure the greens are full of divot which is another thing the ranger could be doing besides talking. If this course wasn’t in a populated community it would be out of business. Take your money to McDivots instead as they take pride in the place they own.

Crosswinds Golf is easily one of the most enjoyable local courses I’ve played. From the moment you arrive, the staff is welcoming, upbeat, and genuinely focused on making sure players have a great experience. The clubhouse is clean, well-kept, and organized, which makes check-in quick so you can get right out to the fun part—golfing. The course itself is in great shape. The fairways are smooth, the greens are well-maintained, and the layout offers the perfect balance between challenging and playable. Whether you’re newer to the game or a regular on the course, Crosswinds gives you a fun test without feeling impossible. I especially appreciate the variety of holes—some reward strategy while others let you relax and swing freely.

The wife & I golfed 18 holes on Sunday afternoon. Beautiful course ! Staff is great ! The pace of play was perfectly relaxing. There was a mix of walkers & riders . Will definitely be back soon !
