The front nine was rather short from the forward tees so I eked out a few pars. Water plays a factor in a few holes. Not much for sand and there were a few rolling hills. Tee boxes were in bad shape but the greens were very nice. Back nine was hillier and more challenging with narrower fairways and more water challenges. Staff checking us in was friendly and helpful. The area is beautiful. The bike trail is near so we heard a few riders zooming past. We played fast. Our first 18 holes took about 3 hours. We bopped over to hole two after finishing 18 and played 6 more of the front nine until we caught up to a foursome. Beautiful day on the course.

Really nice. Right up the hill from the Casino Queen but still secluded. Great prices and the owner…read moreis a great guy. A lot more in the Marquette/Prairie du Chien area to do than we thought. Pike's peak is interesting as well as the Effigy Mounds National Park. Highly recommend staying here for a nice getaway.

We were trying to get out of Minneapolis for a weekend to kayak but no campgrounds were open in the…read morestate due to covid. We discovered Iowa's campgrounds were open and stumbled upon this beautiful campground only three hours from the city right along the upper Iowa river. Luckily it was early in the season because they said they fill up fast during summer months. Heads up, there is no cell phone service here but some free wifi if needed. They booked us a tent site right on the rivers edge! The sites were all marked well and were well shaded with trees. Each site had a picnic table and fire ring and gave you enough space between sites. The office has some food for sale and other needed things like firewood. There is also a man made swimming hole/small lake for families to enjoy because the river is hard to swim in sometimes. They have kayak and canoe rentals to enjoy on the river. I highly recommend doing this! The scenery here is beautiful! Way better then we expected. They can shuttle you to either a four hour run or six hour run down the river. We did the six hour run which did get quite long. The water was a little high but it was still very safe for a beginner. I also heard that fishing is great here when the water is clear. The owners are so nice and accommodating. Prices are very reasonable and you and the family will have such a great time here!

Outstanding place to camp. Hookups were easy to use, facilities well maintained and clean,…read morehelpful, amazing caretakers right on the property. We used their shuttle service to kayak the upper Iowa river and had a fabulous time - spotted 30 plus bald eagles, one of which had a brand new fledgling peeking out of her nest. The resort has a small lake on site, Wi-Fi, and is close to a small town if you need to get back to a little civilization. We were treated to a gorgeous fish filled river with eagles flying up and down the water on a regular basis.

One star. Avoid this place at all costs…read more What a nightmare. We had two prepaid rooms and the problems started the moment we arrived. There was a long line to check in and a long wait to get rooms assigned. We finally got in and got our two keys for the two rooms, we dropped our luggage in one room, and left. Of course, the parking garage did not work with our key card, so back we went and waited in line again. The parking access was added and when we came back, neither room key worked. Back down to the lobby to wait in line again. The front desk reissued keys, but when we went back to open the second room, someone else's belongings were inside! At that point they said they would comp our entire stay and moved us into a larger room at the Staybridge Suites connected in the same building. That was the one nice gesture, except it didn't hold up. After we got home, not only was our prepaid stay never comped, we were charged additionally on top of it! I had to call my credit card company to dispute it, and when they tried to reach the hotel directly, they couldn't get through after more than thirty minutes on hold. This was at around 2 PM on a normal weekday. This is a terribly managed hotel with undertrained staff. One employee helping us was on her second or third day; another had just finished her first week. Nobody seemed equipped to handle even basic check-in, let alone the billing disaster that followed. Save yourself the headache and book somewhere else.

The hotel lobby is nicely set up along with a bar and restaurant (take this with a grain of salt), breakfast tasted like it had all been microwaved. They do offer parking in their garage, otherwise there is paid street parking, free after 5:00 pm till 8am

We have visited once before and had nothing but an amazing experience. We went back again this year…read moreand again had a great experience. Couldn't be happier with the entire visit. The bar was busy as it was memorial weekend and if the guest didn't understand then you need to understand business. The amount of things for kids was great having the splash pad, huge blow up slide, the bounce house, and the parks for them to enjoy. Never felt unsafe or not on with the kids running and playing at the park alone with us watching them from the camp site. For wood is cheap when it being nog able to bring your own in and the restaurant and bar isn't expensive. The downfall is the WIFI coverage got worse from the last visit. We had absolutely no reception to connect the tv for the kids and well our Cell provider is garbage. The lady at the store noted they are updating the WIFI boosters. The day we left we decided to stop up at the restaurant and have some snacks before leaving the service was slower but they were busy and had a lot of things they were trying to accomplish with poor staff minus the manager or leader of some sort the was stressed but made the best of it. We will be back and are going back in only a few short days. Skip Away you made us visitors until we turn to a seasonal space.
