Robert P Wadlow Golf Course

We came to town because it was my wife’s birthday and her brother was also going to be visiting from Minnesota. Usually I just sit around and drink beers in the backyard but my other brother-​in-​law came up with the bright idea of playing some golf at the local muni. $ 16 for 9 holes with a golf-​cart? Yes, please.
The course is easy enough — the fairways are right there in front of you and the putts are makeable. The rains haven’t been too kind downstate this year and this particular weekend, when you sat behind someone hitting an iron shot your could see a blast of dirt instead of those neat little divots… it was dry. I would be polite to say the place is just a «little bit» run-​down. I wouldn’t want to offend my wife’s sense of civic-​pride (what with her being a native Altonian and all) but this place has probably seen it’s better days.
