Other than the added holes, it seems not much has changed since 1947. The clubhouse looks more like a house than a club from the outside but inside you'll find a well-stocked bar, dining room and small pro shop. There is a small check-in window near the entrance to the clubhouse off the parking lot. The club serves dinner on Friday and Saturday nights but otherwise food choices are limited to bags of chips and candy bars. Cooler bags stocked with your choice of beverage are available at the bar and vending machines are located at the clubhouse and on the course near the sixth tee. Before your round you can warm up on the driving range and practice green.

The course can be described as wide open in most spots and invites a "grip it and rip it" style of play. It isn't always clear where the fairway ends and the rough begins, but the short rough offers chances to recover from errant tee shots. The greens are consistent and the different contours and tiers make them fun to play. The first hole was billed as "the toughest starting hole in the the state" by the staff and though it doesn't look like very threatening the length with its elevated, rolling green is a challenging start. The signature par-4 seventh hole is one of the few tee shots of the day with a narrow landing area. Go long or stay left.

Dodge Point provides a friendly, relaxing and scenic golfing experience. It's a course where you'll have the chance to score well on most days and could go low if you can get something going with the putter. With low everyday rates, twilight specials and the a very walkable layout you'll get good value for your money. Twilight golf followed by dinner seems to be a local favorite.
