I played Miona Lake for the first time yesterday. While it certainly was cheap ($22/person for a foursome), it proves the old addage: you get what you pay for. The tee boxes were terrible - in some cases you couldn't even find grass to stand on. The fairways were not too much better than executive fairways in TV.
The biggest problem was the way the fairways were squeezed next to each other. Even if your shot was in the middle of a fairway, you were in danger of being hit by someone having an errant shot in the next fairway. If you ended up in the rough, you had better be wearing a hard hat.
One other thing: there is at least one hole where you tee off over the roadway coming into the place ... talking about an accident waiting to happen.
The biggest positive about the place was the Scottish gentleman who was the starter. He was a riot.
