Nice fall golf in Michigan

Greens were in great shape! Leaves are starting to turn and scenery on and around the course was awesome. The back 9 has a lot of character and some fun golf holes.

Extreme slow pace, no manage Marshall!

Management doesn’t care about a play pace. I paid around 55 bucks and played 5:30 with my buddy. When I visited this course, I experienced slow pace and short intervals tee.

Great for Seniors

The senior tee lay out is very good as it plays 5300 yards and the par 4’s are reachable in 2.

Great, as usual

Considering the amount of rain we have had lately, the course was dry and very playable. We had a slow foursome in front of us (they spent a lot of time searching for balls) which backed up the groups behind them and one couple just gave up and left.

Nonetheless, we enjoyed the round and will be back soon.

No Ranger to Keep Things Moving

I played last night and the course was in really good shape. However, it took about 4.5 hours to finish and there was no ranger to enforce pace of play. A twosome showed up in front of us, not the group that was ahead of us on the previous hole, and proceeded to hit multiple shots and slam their clubs in frustration. At one point they just parked in the middle of the fairway and got belligerent when asked to pick up the pace. We had to call the clubhouse to get them to send someone out to help get them moving.

The staff was great, the course was in good shape, and it’s a good value. The problem is not having anyone from the clubhouse monitoring pace of play.
