First Time Playing

Jess Loik Scoa'lunn

This Course definitely made me feel like i was dropped into those pictures we've all seen of those beautiful rolling Scotland courses. Not to mention i had a great game! I felt like the scenery matched the cold windy and rainy weather, so i didn't even mind it. Scored a 40 overall on the back 9 including a birdy on 17! Will definitely play again!

Horrible experience

Almost 7 hour round people just cut in front of who ever they want. No Marshall, waited 15 minutes on every tee box. Greens were in terrible shape. Usually play here 10-15 times a year but this will be my only round this year. Probably won’t return in the future.

Aerification in December?

Golf in late December? Awesome!

Having the greens aerified right in front of you. In December. Sucks.

My understanding of the process is that you need growth to heal and benefit the greens. Warm days and cool nights are necessary. That ain’t happening in December in Michigan.

Confused is the right word. Oh well. I guess I can’t complain - It was golf in Michigan.

Good December Golf

We couldn't recall seeing a Michigan course look so green and well-maintained for play in December. All the greens were in good shape, the pins were challenging, and the usual autumn debris was cleaned away. We'll be back for more cold-weather golf whenever the course is open.

Great Course!

Fun course with beautiful scenery. I love the elevated boxes on some of the holes and the views. The course is in great shape...especially for November in Michigan. Challenging but fair. Fairways are pretty open and nice greens. Probably my favorite course in the area.
