Amazing course

The course layout was amazing. Most holes were dramatic and could be signature holes for the course.
Great experience.

Disappointed

Course was a bit muddy I'm area's, numerous pitch marks on all greens. Could have done a better job clearing leaves. This is supposed to be a $199 golf course, it looked like a $70 golf course. It didn't look like this for the senior open. It should look like this for daily customers.

This course is a must play for the serious golfer

The history behind this course and what its become are phenomenal. Every hole presents its challenges and are all unique but plays fair. It's not the course that beats you up. If you don't hit the ball in your intended position, your bound to pay strokes. I've played a lot of Michigan golf and this one matches any of the best. Jack Nicklaus design has put all lot of thought and strategy into making this a PGA quality course what it is, Being a signature course will ensure that its quality will always there.

Best course in the area!

Course is site of Kitchen aid Senior PGA tourney every other year so is highly rated by senior pros. Well deserving as it is an excellent course to play, probably too difficult for average golfer over 10 handicap. Regular greens fees too pricey for local, daily golfers but ok for vacation golfers or special treat rounds for out-of-towners.b

An enjoyable challenge!

A tough but great course, I have played now 3 times. Fairways are a pleasure to play from, greens are fast and undulating, bunkers are deep and challenging (especially when not completely dry). Service is exemplary. Spectacular views are a bonus!

Outstanding!!

If you are ever in the St.joseph area of Michigan put this course on your must do list. Top shelf from the time you arrive till you drive away.Interesting that mid may fairways still had aeration holes that really never caused an issue since they were starting to heal.Greens rolled fast and true.Dont think there is a flat green on this course..so try and note that on the warm up putting green.Beautul course..nice manicured bunkers made for an enjoyable 4 hours for me and my wife.If you can get on for under 80.00 here..do it..you will not regret it.This is a well thought out design that is a pleasure to play.First time playing but hope to make another 3 hour drive sooner than later.This to test my skills now that I have some familiarity with a few holes that sight lines were a little unclear.

Great high end track

Course is still recovering from fall Aerating especially the fairways. The greens were rolling well and tee boxes were in good shape, love the sand at harbor shores. It is very consistent and almost easy to play from.

Staff is super friendly and what one expects at a high end venue.

They used to offer community days to local residents but those days are long gone.

Of you get a chance to play here it’s a great value with a hot deal offer from golf now.
