Dismal River Club
About the club
In adding a companion 18 to the Jack Nicklaus-designed White Course at Dismal River, Tom Doak created as organic and amorphous a design as anyone is liable to do in the U.S., simply following the flow of the land and locating greens with breathtaking backdrops. Doak walked the site several times before routing it, utilizing the existing folds of the land for his holes. His associate Brian Slawnik then mowed out the proposed fairways, which spread across the landscape into wide splotches, even flowing into adjacent fairways. Then Doak personally hand-shaped the greens. All but four of the putting surfaces took less than an hour apiece to transform from raw land to seedbed. There are no formal tee boxes, just broad, freeform pads with a couple of yardage posts. One gets the feeling that you could play the Red Course backwards to equal delight.

I'm only reviewing the sporting clays and the dinner.... The clay throwers broke a lot of clays, they didn't charge me for it, but it was pretty sad. They did come and fix several throwers that wouldn't operate at all, but for the price, I'm sorry, I feel like that's something you shouldn't have to deal with. The bar food.... Well a medium rare burger wasn't anywhere near medium or rare. Like it was cardboard. They opened a bottle of tea, the kind you buy at Walmart, and poured it in our glasses. And then charged us $3 for each glass. I'm not trying to bash the place, everyone was helpful. But for a $350 afternoon I felt like it wasn't 5 stars.

I was lucky enough to have a buddy whose Dad was a member at Dismal River and went back in 2023. The staff was incredible and accommodating to all of our needs. The lodging set up is awesome. We stayed in a 4 bedroom lodge each with individual rooms and bathrooms. The golf was incredible one day fee to play as much as you want was incredible for that condition of courses. I prefer the Red Course, probably because I played better on that course but the White course is great as well. The only negatives I have is could use one more restaurant on property and the pool could be better. But you are there to golf and that is what Dismal River is all about. I cannot wait to go back again to play. Truly an incredible place.
