Golfer Reviews
Good golf Link between Ann Arbor and Brighton
The Links at Whitmore Lake offers the look and feel of 2 courses rolled into one. The front nine is more open with rolling hills and accuracy challenges as well as good distances. The back nine looks more like an 'up north' course with 11 having one of the most beautiful views around from the tee. Truly links style on many holes, one tee box raised above a marsh to an uphill blind pin placement. There are several, well maintained driving trails from green to the next tee and are all through lush green mid-western forest.
Nice course
Well maintained course, the beer cart girl is very scarce so if you plan on drinking load up at the clubhouse.
Very nice layout.
Dr Jekyl / Mr Hyde type of set-up. Front nine is pretty wide open. Back nine is pretty wooded. Lots of marsh shots off the tee.. Severe dog legs. You could easily leave your driver in the bag for all but three holes unless you can shape the ball flight well with your driver or you like losing a lot of balls. Great challenge some rather unusual but well worth the trip!
Great course great deal
Course was beautiful. Great price well worth the round.
Great value
Two completely different sides. Front pretty much wide open while the back is more tight, and is target oriented. Fun course to play. Well maintained.
Love the many different contours of this course.
Front nine totally different then the back. Scottish layout on the front. Precision shots that are not long. Back nine has more length and woods like up north.
Cut the greens...
Layout is good and you have to hit good shots, which makes it A bit of a challenge, but might be the slowest greens I have ever played on. I have played this course in the past with the same, slow greens. You have to absolutely hammer the ball to get it to the hole. You would figure the day before a holiday weekend, they would have it dialed in. If they cut the greens, this course would be a super value. My son and I do enjoy it.
Not very long but very challanging
Pleasantly surprised, the course was well maintained and it had plenty of hazards to keep this short in length course interesting. It may be helpful to having a way to get lay-up yardage for some of the doglegs on the back nine. All in all, a nice course to add to my list of courses worth playing.
Great use of the wetlands terrain.
100 yard markers would be a great addition on the fairways.
first time playing was a nightmare.
Links style course lived up to its mark, although it tipped out at 6200. Tons of blind shots that i was not happy with. great greens and fairways. watch out for water on a lot of the holes. hit it straight and you will be fine. many groups let me play right through with no problems or waiting. For being in the middle of no where, its a nice place to play.
Nice Course Rude Staff
The course is beautiful. Absolutely love it. Thing is that the 2 times I went the Young guy who works there is rude rude rude. Doesn't put you in a good mindset to start your game. First time he told me well I better keep my long shirt on because I'm not supposed to wear a sleeveless shirt (It was a nice Nike one) however I guess its ok for women to since I saw women with the same shirt on the course. Nice time I bought a 1 player tee time and thought my Daughter couldn't play cause of a broken leg but it healed and when I showed up it was a big frickken deal even though I offered to pay extra for her - No problem. Guy wigged out than asked my Daughter about it to like see if I was lying. I'd golf there probably every other day if it wasn't for this guy. Never have issues like this at any other golf course.
Truly Excellent, Fun Course
I played this course for the first time this month and it is definitely one of my top five favorites in the Ann Arbor area (the others being Eagle Crest, Hickory Creek, UM Course, and Radrick Farms).
Links has a nice cartpath through the whole course to guarantee that the fairways and greens aren't chewed up too much. Part of the course invades swamp area so the cartpath becomes a picaresque wooden bridge. Would not want to walk this course since the distance between some holes is large.
Very nice clubhouse. The holes are varied and challenging, but a real joy to play. Lots of forced carries on the back nine but nothing outrageously difficult. Big greens that ran true. Definitely want to come back here.
Not too much trouble and what there is is readily avoidable. Nice setting. Pretty. Friendly greens.
I'd definitely play here again. Very convenient to get to. Close to Ann Arbor. Nice pace of play on a weekday. Well-maintained, but unpretentious. No monster 4's from the whites.
Played early April. Course not really ready due to weather.
I play this course alot. This was the first time out this year and it was cold and windy. The greens were okay and tee boxes level. The fairways were not growing yet and surprising how dry things were. Good drainage,
The red bricks in the middle of the fairway, mark 100 yards to the middle of the green. They have them on every hole.
