Strong challenge and great conditions
The course is a very good challenge
Greens are a good speed and roll
Excellent fairways and stay on them or you won't find ball in the heather
Looking forward to playing again soon
Great Course
Sanctuary always prepares their course perfectly. The staff is great, could use more visits from the beer cart, but if that's the only complaint I'm fine with it.
Beautifullllll course
This course reminds me of a much nicer course you'd find on the west side or up north. Very well maintained. $35/18 holes on a Saturday.
My only complaint is the beer cart girl left at 5pm? We teed off at 345pm, and never even saw her. Didn't get a drink of any sort until the turn before 10.
What kind of golf course sends the beer cart girl home at 5pm on a Saturday?!?
Sanctuary Lake is welcoming golf course that is well-manicured. It is a really nice place to spend an afternoon.
Best bang for your buck
My go-to course. Slower pace on the weekends but I know what to expect.
Slow Play
Beautiful day for a round of golf, however, had to wait on every hole. Hole #14 had four groups and the wait was at least 15 minutes for us!
We don't plan on playing the course again...much too slow.
Great Shape
I played here very early in the morning on a Monday, teed off before 6AM, quick 9 before work, the course was in immaculate shape, greens ran smooth and true. I started off the back 9, my only complaint is that I was following the grounds crew changing the hole placement, so nearly every approach shot I had to wait for the guy to finish. If the course knew that there were people playing that early off the back 9, and I wasn't the only one out there, they should have had the crew start on the front 9. or start on 18 and work backwards so you only run into him once. Other than that great job keeping the course up.
Good value
They're running specials for tee times before 8am, teed off at 7:16am and was finished by 9:30am playing by myself. Course was in good shape a little wet in the low areas. This course is tough when the winds coming out of the north/northeast. Would be in even better shape if other golfers were considerate and replaced their divets.
Very disappointed
This has been my "home" course for several years due to it's convenient location near my house. This was my first time playing it this year, and needless to say I won't be back anytime soon. My recommendation is to close the course for a couple days and repair the fairways and greens. It does not look like any repairation has been done to the course since it closed last year. I've put up with slow and crowded play here, but I'm not going to chip and put on what looks like an Elementary Playground.
Good course
For being the first week of April. Course was in great shape. Especially the greens. Look forward to going back once the weather gets better..
March 6th Golf in Michigan, Yahoooo!
With temps on High 50's and open golf courses far and few between. Awesome that this course is open. Of course green could be better, not all holes playable, so what!! Who keeps score in March? Great opportunity to get clubs out, smash some drive, test irons accuracy, practice some chips, and enjoy the early play with other golfers, itching to get out of the house!! Can't wait to play this course again.
Poorly Managed Course
We played this course on 2/18/17 for $20 through GolfNow. Upon arrival, we see a sign on the clubhouse door stating that 2 holes were closed and 3 had temporary greens. We felt a little short-changed since this info was not given to us at booking but whatever...
As we approached the first tee-box, we immediately knew it was going to be a LONG day. At the top of the hill, there was a long line of carts (about 7-8) waiting to tee off with no ranger present. We were only able to play 9 holes and it took almost 3.5 hours! This is always the norm at Sanctuary Lake, even during the summer. They simply do an atrocious job at managing the course and pace of play.
Due to its layout, this course could be a lot more fun if it was managed better. No matter the time of year, pace of play is ALWAYS horrendous. I try to avoid this course like the plague.
The staff is extremely helpful and friendly; however, it is clear that there are simple issues management needs to address or else they will continue to lose customers. It should not take 6+ hours to play 18 holes.
All in all, the layout of the course is great and it would be an extremely fun course to play if it were managed better.
What did you expect in February!?
Good vslie
Playing in February so conditions with a grain of salt but seemed fairly nice. Two holes closed and three temp greens leave a little to the imagination still but I would return without a doubt.
short changed
We didn't know there were only 16 holes open, 2 were flooded. There were also 3 temporary greens. These conditions were not posted, so it was quite a surprise to learn about the condition, when checking in at the club house.
mediocre to bad
As all the other reviews say it's completly over booked. Paid for 18 to start at 3pm. Behind so started around 3:45 and it was so clogged we only got thru 9 holes, in 3 1/2 hours!!!! the course is a decent layout and could be fun to play if pace was better.
winter golf!!
Im pretty much a beginner golfer and the hills and changes in elevation made it challenging but very fun. I was amazed that they were opened in January. Some holes were shut down and some spots were very wet but for January it was actually decent. I cant wait to come back in the spring.
Fun to play
Links style course. Heather everywhere. No trees. Plays 6500 yards from the back tees. Has some challenging holes. Fun to play.
Last minute round
Course was in good shape considering time of year. Couple of greens still had fair amount of sand. They were a bit shaggy, but it is Nov. Fair number of repairs going on, hope that will be good for future. When did they put the sprinkler heads in the greens? Pace was good till caught up to 4 some. Omg slow.
October golf
Was a great day for golf. The course was 100% over booked. We started at 3:40 and didn't tee off until 4:15. Only got to play 7 holes. Pace of play was terrible. Greens were in great shape for October though.
Rando - We are sorry your experience did not live up to your expectations. We are confident our product is on par if not better than previous years. Lower temperatures through April and May have not been conducive for growing grass and therefore course repairs have taken longer to complete, but we are confident in our course and hope you give us another shot.
