There were no rangers on the course to enforce pace of play. The eight minute tee times the City Of Troy courses utilize make for a 6 hour round.

Sanctuary lake

Well maintained course, beautiful first hole. Little pricey compared to other courses in the area but overall worth the money. Driving range behind the pro shop was nice. No other course in Troy has a driving range at the course

Winter golf

Cold , Frozen tee boxes, and ice ponds in Fairway.

A bit much for winter golf. Taking advantage of being one of the few open courses in the area. Wont play here again unless the price drops.

Starter was late

So I had a tee time this morning at 730. I got there at 725 and waited till about 735. I called the number fot you guys and got nothing. Finally I believe he was your maintenance manager for a hold of the GM and they were able to get our out at about 8am didn’t get a full 18 in due to the time I had but they gave me a voucher which was nice. The course is beautiful also!

Course in need of a lot of attention, potholes and areas under repair in many areas. Golfers do not respect course and have torn it up as bad as anyI have seen, including deliberate destruction.

First Time Playing

An oasis in the middle of a city.

An oasis in the middle of a city. Troy between big beaver and M 59 is one of the most densely populated business areas in all of Michigan. Yep I pulled into the course it was completely different feel! Maroon carts clean and well cared for pro shop, restaurant and grounds. A link style course with Rollinghills lots of character and well groomed layout with a mix of traps water and Heather. At one point we set up so high we could see the entire city , while the pace of play was crisp. Fairways were soft well groomed and a good shot took a beaver pelt all the greens no challenging are also well-kept but none of the city blights the other city courses have. I will be going back hope to see you there.

Over priced

This course has went up 25% in cost this year. Its quite frustrating considering they haven't upgraded anything.

Simply taking advantage of the covid golf boom.

Pace of play sucks.

Smells awful

Won't be back.

Clown show

Course is over priced for the condition. I had a 10:50 tee time and told I was going to be paired with an 11:15 tee time…. I have no problem with being paired with others but when I show up early for my assigned time yet get told I’m going to play a half hour later then so? Not sure what’s going on, I know the course in on a landfill but could use some maintaining

One staff member was horrible

Everything was great until the STARTER or Person who helps with Pace-of-Play was extremely rude to us. I was playing with two other guys and as we were buying snacks from the cart he yelled at us for slowing down play. We apologize as this was the first time someone said something and it wasn’t normal players but seemed to be kid league. The issue with this is that they don’t Tee off at the standard tees but close to 100 yards out which makes them play very fast on our heels. As the gentleman (wearing a blue shirt) continued to yell at us i became very upset and unwelcome at the course. This same feeling was the mood of my other two families members to the point they stopped playing. It’s sad that such a nice day was ruined and i honestly felt, that as a black man, he was angry at more then our pace of play.

Bad aroma

Didn't realize this course was built on an old landfill when booking. Especially for what the cost is. The smell was nauseating, and due to slow pace of play, you are stuck with it for excruciating amounts of time. Unfortunate, as this course has a fun set up, and is kept in excellent condition. Might be more bearable on a cooler day when the methane fumes aren't mixed in with 90F heat and high humidity. Range balls need washed, they were all covered in mud and had to be wiped before hitting as to not damage club faces.
