Nice Course

Rained a lot that morning, course real wet.

Tees, fairways, and greens in good condition. One hole little shaky with "deck" tees off fake grass (guess it beats teeing off in muck).

Needs 100/150/200 yard marking stakes!

1ST TIME PLAYING THIS COURS

for all the rain that Michigan has had lately the course was perfect except for just a few spots … greens were ideal and at a good speed … we played the blue tees which set up some long par 3s in the 170 to 190 yd range as the pins were in the back … will play this course again

Great course

This course is always a fun play. The curse is generally in great shape and the pace of play is normally good. Though I went on a day there were league it still only took me 3 hours to play. There are a couple bad spots on the greens but so early in the year, they have time to fix that.

Decent Course For The $$

It’s always difficult to judge a course this early in the season. The greens were fine-a bit on the slow side. Fairways were generally good-a bit wet and spongy in some areas. The tees on the par 3’s need some work-lots a divots that haven’t filled in where the tee markers were. They need to move the tee markers around and refurbish the torn up areas. I suspect conditions will approve with the weather.

Great Course, Especially Early in the Year

This is my course of choice for the early spring. It seemingly is always open, and always offers a great golf experience. You would be hard pressed to find a better 18 holes for the price, so if I've got the itch to ever play 18 on short notice, this is my go to choice.

The front 9 and back 9 are drastically different, which I love, because it gives the round a cool feel, almost like you are playing two separate rounds. It's always great fun.

January Golf

This course is always soaking wet, but what can you expect in January in Michigan. If the sun is shining (or it’s not snowing), this will be the one course that’s open. While the staff is minimal, they are always friendly and willing to help. I’ve only played 3 times in the area and this is the course I keep coming back to

Beautiful Course with Beautiful Price

The Links of Whitmore Lake is hands down one of my favorite courses to play in the area. It is always in amazing condition and at a very reasonable price. The icing on the cake is the friendly and inviting staff.

A group of 4 of us played this past Sunday, it is the end of the season and we are trying to get in as much golf as possible. We only made it to hole 16 before it started getting really dark. The ranger came out to check on us but was extremely friendly, saying we could play 18 on the way in if we think we could see. Usually courses are rushing you to get the carts in and sort of snobby. Our experience here was the complete opposite. Even though we choose not to play 18 and just go in, it was the kindness of the ranger that left a lasting impression.

We will most definitely be back.

Fun Course

I've played this course twice this year -- both outings were a lot of fun. In both cases, the pace of play was quick, the course was in good condition, and the service was excellent.

I will play this course again. Lots of variety with the hole layouts. Fun course to play.

A gem

This course was a lot of fun to play. About 45 minutes from Windsor, it is picturesque, but not a long course. The staff was accommodating and very pleasant to deal with. The starter gave us a rundown of the highlights and he was 100% accurate in his narrative. The front nine is relatively easy (par 35 - 3 par threes), and as easy as it is, the back nine is that hard ( par 36 with only 2 par threes). A few of the fairways were in poor shape (areas of patchy or absent grass with dry cracked soil where there had obviously been standing water), and a few of the greens were struggling (patchy), but on the whole, the course was well maintained and in good shape. The greens held well, and some were deceptively difficult. As noted, the pace of play was slow, with waiting on most every hole. That, however, did not take away from the enjoyment of a really fun outing. A great little course, with very reasonable green fees.
