Terrible

If I could give these guys a zero I would. Booked my tee time 3 days in advance and they double booked me. Found out when I got to the course and they wouldn’t even give me a bucket of balls on the driving range to make up for it.

Wolverine introduction to Champions

Brought two Wolverines for their first visit to Champions. The course was in great shape and provided a great challenge to us seniors, as always, and definitely to two Michigan transplants on their first visit to Champions. The course did not disappoint. We had a great experience at this great course, very challenging, and was in great condition. Thanks!

Champions

Pace of play was poor, cost was high for an end of the day tee time that didn’t allow for a complete 18, and greens were aerated. Great track not a great deal for the time and circumstances.

Staff killed this experience

The guy in your pro shop should find another job. The coarse was under care on every hole I played. The ground keeper actually cut across the fairway during my shot with the mower blade down. It is a very nicely structured coarse and has potential but for the staff to be this inconsiderate on a Tuesday morning when they are slow I can’t imagine what it would be like during an outing. I was scouting this place for my company outing and unfortunately we will have to go somewhere else.

Best city course by far

course is beautiful and in great shape, very challenging. the par 4 8th's green alone should be a par 4!!! staff is not real friendly, and having to carry your clubs up to the clubhouse(no carts in the lot before your round) is terrible, especially when your just getting back after a hip replacement! r

the course is worth the money, but pace of play is a bit slow. lots of golfers not up to a course this difficult. lots of groups looking for balls and hitting multiple balls off the tees because of the courses difficulty.

Miserable pace

Awesome course greens are in fantastic shape. Pace of play was a nightmare. Two singles held up the entire course on top of showing up late for their tee time. The starter thought this was going to be an issue however we never saw a ranger the rest of the day.
