IMHO - Windsong is a wonderful course for the Big 10 championships. I think the course is underrated.
I've had the privelege of playing 3 or 4 competitive rounds at Windsong and there are usually 2-3 options off of every tee. It is awesome. I love having the opportunity to try and think thru each shot. There is great width on the course, however, you must be on the correct side of the fairway to score. I dont compare the course to GB&I courses, but what I do like that is similar is that it can eat your lunch if you are not playing well, but you can also score if you have your game that day. A high handicapper could probably get around in a reasonable time without losing many if any balls. And probably very high on my scale, it is a great walking course.
Yes, the greens are fast, but if you approach from the correct side of the hole, it isn't an issue. The greens are very interesting but not crazy.
I just think it is flat out a great course. And manyof the best players in the state of Minnesota are members.
By the way, the comments in the article about the 635 par 5 9th being reached by a few of the golfers, isn't completely crazy. It does have a pretty big hill to give a kick if you can get there (long shot but doable)
Just because they can hit is 350 doesn't mean they are going to score, as shown by some of their scores.
