Briar Ridge Golf & Country Club

This course has a number of great holes starting with a beautiful par 5 on #1. The conditions are always good as are the greens.

Like a lot of other nice golf courses that are reasonably priced it is very busy. The pace of play can be uncomfortably slow. I recommend you play here off peak times and ask about leagues playing when you make your tee time.

The parking lot is a mine field. It is dirt/gravel with huge pot holes. If you see someone driving 5 miles an hour it’s because they have been there before.

Booked 11:16 tee time. There was nobody at the clubhouse cash register to start. When the cashier arrived she told me to start on hole #18. There were two foursomes in the fairway. On hole #3, the foursome waved me through. One gentleman told me it would be slow going due to a scramble. Long story short, I left the course at the turn. I don’t recommend this course unless you’re playing with two to three other golfers. It’s a twenty mile drive for me to play this course. NEVER AGAIN. It’s pure greed on the part of Briar Ridge to book a golfer in the middle of a scramble. Save your money.

We loved Briar Ridge! Greens were in great shape and played true, Fairways a touch dry but still fine. Layout was fun, not too easy, not too tough, just right. George and his staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back on our next trip to visit family in Montrose!

Greens and parts of fairways were in good condition, but parts of the fairways were terrible (dead).

Course was busy and they had a league or outing just behind us. This did not cause any issues. The course even with our extremely dry summer was in very nice shape. Pace of play was good. I like their layout. My biggest complaint was I could not find 100, 150 or 200 yard markets so for me it was longer hitting shots as I was guessing distances on all approaches except the power threes. Still all and all I would and will play here again.

The course has a great layout, greens are great and smooth and quick.

Booked on GN for $57 for 2 playing 18 with a cart. I would pay that price again. It’s a typical public course. Some of the tee boxes look like the surface of the of the moon but the fairways were cut nice and the greens were solid and in good shape. I hope it’s a one off but there was a 4 some holding up 4 single players and the two of us. Could have easily got in the round in under 3 hours. Took just over 4. But when you have three carts sitting on a tee box waiting, what do you expect. This was a Tuesday morning. Pace was so slow I had to kinda warm up and stretch before teeing off on the back. Other than the pace it was a nice average muni, good staff, decent clubhouse, beer prices were good, the course generally in great shape except some cratered tee boxes. For that price I will definitely drive the hour to play there again. It’s a good mid point for me and my son in law to meet up. We both enjoyed the day. It was hot, it was slow, but just fire up a cigar find shade and wait your turn. We will definitely play there again.

They have made a LOT very nice improvements to the course and the greens and fairways are in great shape.

We are up visiting my wife’s grandma in Clio Michigan her house is about 10 minutes down the road. I just googled golf courses near me and came across Briar Ridge. It was an amazing track and everyone was very friendly.

Nice course great price. We were paired up with another group and I do not think it was necessary but they have maximized every time time.$$$

They do a great job keeping the course maintained. This is our favorite course to play! The staff is always friendly and we can always get right in to play!

I think every hole on the course was full. Four and a half hours for a round..

I have played BriarRidge several times. I will continue playing it because the staff is exceptional and the course is fun to play.
