Great course but delays on every hole.

Great course conditions and layout. However, ranger kept pressing us to keep pace even though group ahead was causing the backup. We were paired with 2 golfers who hit 250-275 drives so it caused tension.

What Really Matters

As a reader of reviews, you probably first want to know about the condition of the course. This place is in first rate condition and gets 5 stars., as do the amenities including an incredible newly-opened bar and restaurant space. Then you want to know about the value. The best value is a Hot Deal because you’ll feel like you paid too much with what also matters, i.e. the pace play, which was horrid. Can’t say that the Ranger was non-existent because he passed through twice but made no effort to speed up the slow play ahead. Our group waited on every tee and every fairway all day long. Almost entitled this review “Great Place With the Wrong Staff” but that would have been unfair to some dedicated person. Though it may not matter to you, my experience from Bag Drop to Pro Shop to Starter made me feel unwelcome because I wasn’t conforming to some mysterious protocol and making myself an inconvenience to the very people put in place to serve.

Father’s Day on the course

As a big fan of UP it again did not disappoint. Conditions were very good with the lack of rain we are dealing with around here. Pleasant greeting at the drop off & pro shop. Practice facility is great with all game options to practice before teeing off. The only problem and those who play on Sundays will agree, the starter is a real a&@h*#l. He’s known to be this way and I don’t understand why UP that is such an outstanding golf course does not remove this guy..

Always awesome

Played here about 4-5 times now and it never disappoints. Some may say it’s a little pricey at over $100 in the morning but you get what you pay for here. Full range and warm up area with balls included. Water and ice stations through each 9. Good carts and pace of play is always good. 3 different 9’s to play so something different every-time you play. If I lived closer I’d definitely join this club. Play and enjoy if you get the chance
