Made Us Walk

Golfed here a few days ago and they made us walk with no pull carts. The course was not wet at all and they said they put the carts away and didn’t have any pull carts. When I asked for a discount for having to walk since I payed for a cart originally, the girl at the pro shop told me there were no refunds. We talked with the group behind us and they said they called twice before the round to make sure carts were available and they said yes. Liars.

A great course going to the dogs

Being a perfect day for golf, I had expected a lot more play. But there were only very few people playing. Most of the sand bunkers have tall weeds growing. Looks like the management abandoned this course. Luckily most of the greens are in OK shape. But Green #9 is in pathetic shape. Don't know how long will this course survive!

Tornado Torn

Trees of all sizes were uprooted all around the course from last week's storm. Very interesting to see. In spite of that the course was in good condition. Enjoyed playing and will come back again soon.

The course has a great layout and the back nine is very tight, with a lot of tough holes.

The course is very challenging and the back nine is very tight, with some difficult holes. The course is fun and the greens roll well but are slow.

Donald Ross will be turning in his grave

This is a Donald Ross design, but alas it is being destroyed by poor maintenance. The fairways and greens are in very good condition. However, the sand bunkers , the tee complexes and the rough are in serious bad condition. I hope somebody will save this course.

Get What you Pay For

Calumet is still a challenging tract. As a former member, it is hard to see it in the condition its in but it still IS a Donald Ross design. The fairway bunkers are now overgrown so you want to avoid them because they still have sand bunker lips. Overall the greens and fairways are in good shape. Green #9 has some type of fungus so moving the pin must be tough on the staff. Pace of playing on this Saturday was quite good 3 1/2 hours to play as a twosome and could have gone quicker if one twosome wasn't playing practice shots with no one in front of them.

All in all, great for the price and still a very challenging tract to play.
