Our favorite course in Michigan

This is hands down our golfing groups favorite course in Michigan. Cost isn't overly expensive, drinks are also reasonably priced for a course. The course is absolutely gorgeous, and the staff is outstanding. 10/10 I would recommend anybody goes here if they have the chance.

Great track!

I love this golf course. The only issue I've ever had was on this visit and with the starter who was a bit rude and to make a long story short was creating problems where there wasn't any. Aside from that, the ranger was friendly, and the staff in the clubhouse was great. Also reasonably priced merch! Can't say enough good things about the layout. The conditions of the course were great. The greens rolled true. Not overly fast and not slow but rolled well. Slower than a green at Arcadia or Oceana GC, which I didn't mind. Overall, great experience. Peak rates are a bit high. I could see it being a great course for $55-65, but $90 is a bit of a stretch.

Aside from the ranger, the range balls could definitely use an update. Mix of (mainly) Pinnacle, Top Flite and Wilson and some of the covers on the balls were peeling off and just overall super beat up. Having a mid sized bucket included in the round is a nice perk, but could use an update!

For the price of the "Hot Deal" I scored on GolfNow, I'd give it a 4.8 out of 5 stars. Great course, great experience.

So beautiful

This course is great. No houses or development anywhere. Beautifully manicured course meanders through the woods. This course is very challenging for my skill group. This is a good thing but be prepared to not shoot your personal best first time out.

Fantastic Course if you have the time!

This course is amazing. It is my favorite by far in the greater Grand Rapids area. The next best isn’t even close!

That said the pace of play is always very very slow. Yesterday we were unable to complete 18 give the pace. By the time we got to number 10, 3 groups were on the tee waiting for the group in front.

It is such a great course and is worth the drive and the price. I just wish the tee times were better spaced or that the pace of play was better regulated.

Great course

Great course in so many ways. Just unfortunate that there were too many divots on most of the fairways and no mechanism to “repair” any of them as a golfer.
