Rest In Peace Jerry Mathews!

I just read that hall of fame golf designer Jerry Mathews passed away last week. My condolences to his family and friends.
Thank you to him for all the fantasic golf he has have given us here in Michigan. Loved this course! I can see why this is considered one of Mr. Mathews “signature” designs. Gorgeous and tough but I would say - not too difficult.
Hole 1 is a tough start with a lay up or tough carry over water decision right out of the gate. Elevated Greens winding through valleys and rolling hills follow after this with some up hill fairways and some down hills throughout. Hole 8 is another brutal lay up or try to carry over the marsh go for it spot. Loved the par 3s - especially 14 and 17 both from elevated tees requiring really accurate distance. Hole 18 is an epic test to again go for it over the wetlands to the small green or lay up. Can’t wait to play this place again!!

Beautiful course

This was a beautiful course, very well-maintained. Very forgiving fairways with trees on both sides, but you need to hit a straight ball or you would always be in the woods. Beautiful clubhouse, with a menu of dogs and hamburgers.. Will definitely return to this course again.

Good layout, I happened to be there at 3:30 on a Monday and it was DEAD. I never saw another golfer my whole round and only heard a few driver shots here and there

Tight Course

The course was well kept. You have to hit it in the fairways - trees on both sides. You have to play "smart" golf and layup on the marsh holes. Only problem was the greens were wet from dew, and the worms had come up and left little piles of dirt all over.

Great value

Nice course. Had a ton of rain several days before we teed off but the course was still in great shape. Booked on a hot deal for $32. Worth double that. Staff is very friendly. Highly recommend

Great time

Staff was very helpful and very friendly, Club house was clean and had all the amenities you would want. Read a review on course that was pretty negative on conditions but after playing I just think this person was disgruntled because conditions were excellent all the way around. Will defiantly be back
