Moose Ridge Golf Club sprawls across rolling hills blanketed with mature trees and accented with colorful wildflowers. There are more than 90 feet of elevation changes throughout the course, but there are more challenges than the hilly terrain. Well defined bunkers lurk along the greens and acres of wetlands come into play. It's easy to get distracted on this visually stunning golf course, but it's a test that requires all of your attention. The first hole is challenging but gentler than the next three holes, which is one of the toughest sequences in the area. The second and thrid are long uphill par 4s and the fourth is a narrow par 5 with a marsh-protected green. Moose Ridge Golf Club's back nine opens more gently but the respite doesn't last for long. The 15th is one of the most challenging holes, starting with a tee shot over water and followed by an approach to a narrow green.

Great Course

Delayed getting out due to frost but the staff handled it well. For being very early in the season the course is in great shape, especially after so much rain the previous week. Highly recommend.

I had forgotten just how good Moose Ridge is...

This course is top notch in so many respects. It offers a challenging environment with plenty of slope and great views for any level of player. My group played one set of tees up from the tips and distance was never an issue (my average drive is 255-265 yards). This course offered more than enough challenge particularly if you don't bring your A game. A wonderful variety of holes creates a real championship golf environment and the condition of the greens was pristine with a true roll that tested our strokes rather than our luck.
The day we played was a perfect fall color day and the ampitheater of the trees was just amazing. I like the style of this layout as it gets more difficult from tee to green. Tee shots were demanding from a scoring standpoint but as much in terms of losing balls and strokes.
I didn't rate the value of this course all that well because I think it normally runs around $60 which I think is steep in this ecomomy but it was an offer I couldn't refuse at an $18 hot deal.
If you can play here for <$40 you are winning!

Felt like an up north course

I understand why you can't drive on a few of the fairways, but some of the others really bogged the pace of play. Other than that the course is really nice and you can shoot low with the pretty flat greens that rolled nicely. I only played through 16, because the sun was setting, but I planned on coming back anyway!

Even after getting my 1st hole in one I won't be back

Really love the topography of this course, TRUE up north feel, but the pace of play is really affected by fact the carts are not allowed on a lot of fairways resulting in unnecessary walking. It backed up play more than needed. Probably won't come back until this problem is resolved, even after I had a hole in one on the par 3 16th.

High handicappers ?

Great course. Played here years ago and forgot what a challenge it is. Seniors and high handicappers may feel intimidated. You make a mistake you pay. Will be on my list of top courses in South Michigan. Beware that lots of holes are cart path only and it can be a chore getting to your ball.

A joy to play

After spending a week playing courses in the Ann Arbor area Moose Ridge was my favorite. A beautiful course.
I would make this my home course if I ever moved to the area. Go!

Not worth it

Greens were full of old divots. Fairways had dead patches of grass in them. Golf maintaince staff has no golf etiquette. Ranger won't tell his slow buddies in front of us to let us pass. Had to wait on every shot. Pro shop is a sorry excuse for one.

Worth the Drive

Sometimes it's difficult to find a course within an hour of Detroit that has hills, great scenery, challenging golf and superior service -- Moose Ridge has all four. The course in general and the greens in particular are in great condition. Staff could not have been friendlier, including the pro shop guy, the starter (who went out of his way to give me tips on the course and stopped to ask me how I was enjoying the course and round when I encountered him after 12 holes) and drink cart girls. Everyone here has learned that service with a smile makes a great impression, and I was very impressed.

Great condition and fun to play.

Tee to green, this course was looking great. The putts were rolling great and the fairways were consistent. The views from this course were spectacular, and while this is a little out of the way, it's incredibly worth the 45 minute drive. It's pretty lengthy and you can get yourself into trouble. Overall just an enjoyable experience. Would recommend for intermediate players 8-12 Handicap, and anyone over that should tee it forward, it will be more fun.

Crowded course

The groups are started too close together and twosomes separated and created crowding and backups. We were playing on schedule and ended up letting two twosomes through and we were playing fast. As you are rarely allowed to drive on the course with your golf cart and the hills are really rolling.... It takes some time to walk to your ball and back. I refuse to run through my game like other groups were doing. Beautiful course and wonderfully maintained. Very challenging with the tight fairways and woods.

Did Not Disappoint

Had to see what the buzz was about at Moose Ridge in South Lyon and it was an excellent course. Got a great GN deal and played early in the morning as a single. Greens were spectacular and the GPS on the carts at Moose Ridge were not loaded with advertisements which was also nice to see. The course is gettable and has many scenic holes, placement off the tee is key. Even had a links type feel on a few holes with large bunkers and swales of heather. The clubhouse & grille have a great feel and the "Moose Ridge Sunrise" drink special was a bonus. Get to Moose Ridge for a great day on the course.
