Incredible Course

Been knocking out the top rated courses in Michigan this summer and this has been my favorite so far. Take it for what it’s worth but I’d put it above Arcadia. Fun par 3’s, monster par 5’s and tons of fun all around. Incredibly well maintained.

Scenic and challenging. As an older golfer I started the front nine on the whites but played the second nine from the silvers because of the length of course. I would definitely go back again.
