Golfer Reviews
Pace of play
Terrible pace of play almost 2:50 for 9 holes. Then we had three foursomes on hole 10. I had to leave after 9 it was so slow.
Course had rangers out but did nothing about the pace.
I wouldn’t recommend the course if you are planning on playing in less than 5 hours.
Fun Birthday Round
The conditions were great. The only issue we had was slightly slower pace of play because of 1 group of 4.
This course was in great condition
Fairways and greens were kept. Pace of play was good. No issues.
First time visit
The fairways were clean, and the greens rolled remarkably fast and true for a municipal course. The staff was welcoming, the pace of play moved smoothly, and I will definitely be coming back.
Nice Layout, Less Tee Times
As soon as I arrived, 25 minutes before my tee time and I was being pressured to start. I was waiting on another in my party, who arrived just in time for us to start on time. The starter was very frustrated. As soon as I got to the tee box, I still had to wait 10 minutes for the group in front of me. Each hole I was waiting a minimum of 10 minutes to tee off. The course has multiple damaged spots and the driving range had no undamaged spots to practice on. Overall it seems the course is overplayed.
A +++.
Course was in great condition and pace of play want too bad. Really like the course.
Best MI muni course
For all the negative Nancy’s out there saying you are play My on a landfill you need to check out some of the other trash courses around. Friendly staff. Very welcoming. Beautiful course for a city course. Have all kinds of golfers but what do you expect on a Friday afternoon? Only waited on last 3 holes of 18 as a 3some. Multi level greens. Lots of hills and bunkers and tall heather. Many elevation changes. $65 for 18/cart. Took 4:30 to finish teeing off at 3:25.
Making money
I understand you have to make money but having tee times 8-9 minutes apart isn’t great. I was also told that there was a bachelor party out there so we are backed up. That’s your job to keep them moving, not an excuse. I’d go 10 minute team times and increase your cost 10%. This way you get people the respect the game and can play in 4:30 instead of 5.5 hours. Also, you wouldn’t have greens that have 20+ pitch marks on them.
Slow greens
Iv played many times in the pass. However first time this year. Green were super slow. Slowest Iv played all year. Iv played over a 100 rounds this yr
Fantastic course!
Visiting from CA. Played here early on a Tuesday morning as a single. Got paired up with another single. Local guy who was super friendly and super helpful. I LOVE this track. Beautiful and challenging but also fair. Lots of elevation change and risk reward shots. Im also used to CA prices so I’d say that $60 to ride is a tremendous value! Finished in 3:30 but of course that’s playing a twosome 2nd off on a weekday AM. Will be back next time I’m in Michigan!
Not a good first impression
10:48am tee time delayed before even started. Turns out an eight some was allowed in front of us. And constantly all together at tee box. Even though they scrambled, We still waited on every hole. Delayed and no pace to play. 3hrs for 9 holes. Ridiculous. Starter should have delayed eight some. Not a pair of two somes put together.
And no Ranger keeping the pace.
Exactly as you’d expect
Nice Muni course. Views are nicer than anticipated. Pace of play was to be as expected, however a really enjoyable nine holes played with friends. Staff was friendly
