Nice Course - Up North Feel
Nice course - play was good kept moving. Greens were in good shape.
Staff was extremely accommodating. They were short on cooked hot dogs - cooked them out and brought them out to the 10th hole.
Nice course - up north feel
Nice course to play - gives you the up north feel.
Nice distance between the holes - not that congested feel.
Definite worth playing.
Good course, one weird quirk
Good course in great condition. One weird tee box where you hit off turf on a bridge on the hardest hole. Staff was great and played in 4hrs. Great pace
a great MI experience
In MI for wedding. Picked course from reviews. Greens were in great condition considering drought and heat conditions of July. Front nine was a great warm up to the back nine which required precision. Gotta say the rides thru the marshes on the boardwalk cart paths were delicious. A wonderful course and value. Great course
Short and fun
Not a long course but fun and nice atmosphere. Holes 4-6 all run together so it got a little crazy with people hitting from the wrong fairways. Also, no beverage cart out on Sunday morning.
Overall enjoyed it and would probably go back.
Nice course, great value
Overall I like the course and usually when I got here the pace of play is not an issue but it was a significant problem the last time I was there. Paid for 18 but only played 9 because that took over 2.5 hours and left only 1 hour to play the back 9 before dark. Disappointed and frustrated because I was looking for a nice, quiet evening on the course (which it usually is), I just went home. Will likely be back but it might be a little longer before I return.
Moderately tricked up
Course accommodates wetland areas. There are 2-3 long forced carries over wetland, one hole requiring artificial turf platforms along the wooden causeway. Played Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, so not too crowded. It did take a while to play (over 4 ½ hrs); we were tight behind the group ahead and never saw the group behind, which means either no one went behind us or the pace of play behind was horrid. It had recently rained and bunkers were affected. Greens were pretty good. Starter very helpful and courteous.
good course
For what it's worth, I'm a bogey golfer more or less.
I golfed right after it rained a good amount so I expected there to be some wet conditions. The course seemed to handle the amount of rain we got pretty well. There were only a few spots where you didn't want to step or hit. There is a good amount of variety and imagination with the layout. It wasn't overly challenging but not incredibly easy either. I'd definitely go again.
Good Course
Overall a good value. I live on the west side of Detroit, so it is pretty far away for me. Course in very good shape. Layout is odd, but works for the land available. My one beef was the staff. There was only one person in the pro shop/bar, and there was a wait to pay for services/ drinks. That was around noon, and I thought it was odd, but the course wasn't busy, so I didn't think much of it. At the turn, there were three people working in the clubhouse, yet I still had to wait for refreshments. Not very player friendly.
Spring in Michigan
Greens were excellent for March. They were smooth and no problem with snow mold spots. When I arrived the grounds personnel had a green roller working the greens, people working on tree limbs. Course will really green up when we get temperatures in mid 50's.
Whitmore Lake
Nice little course that is spread out over several acres. It is not walkable as you need a cart to go to several holes. Narrower fairways and some carries on tee shots but fair greens. I'd come back.
Interesting layout, nice conditioning
Though not a long course, there is a lot of challenge for the average player. Wetlands and ponds come into play on many holes. Doglegs on several holes demand accurate placement of your tee shot. A nice variety of par 3's. Fairways and greens were generally in excellent condition.
Beautiful course, but terrible wait on tee boxs
This is my favorite course in the area, but they always have a hard time with hold ups on the course. I play fairly fast and honestly it ruined my day how bad the waits were. On one tee box I waited 20 minutes to tee off.
Other than that the course is gorgeous, the staff is friendly and the price isn't bad if you catch a hot deal.
