It was an excellent course for the money. New owner is putting a lot of effort in improving the conditions. They were supposed to get a liquor licence that day. Looking forward to fall golf

Worried that it was closed!

My friends and I often play on this course, and I was worried that it was closed forever due to renovations and inaccurate google feed. The course changed its name from the Farm to Centennial, and in that change, the course I thought got better! The greens were well kept up and there’s always someone out keeping it up! Staff was friendly and course was clean. Great alternative to Shanty Creek if you’re looking for a better value. Will come back now that we know it’s not closer, but transformed!

Should get better

Course was in generally poor condition due to lack of upkeep. New ownership appear to be making substantial capital investment, (ie. updated/new irrigation, better mowing etc...). Greens had some dead areas and the fairways need work. Seeing the manpower and work going on leads me to believe they will get it back in shape soon.

The farm name is appropriate

Rough greens-very slow. The course layout is good Been golfing this course for 5 plus years. It was previously in very rough shape -not well maintained. Two rears ago new owners took over and course is much improved. Greens still need to be sped up. One needs to really hit the putter

Fun

Great course for my family. 2 completely different 9s. Front more like a links course. Back is true "up north". Great staff. Greens could use some work. Overall, I will be back.

Nice layout

Greens and fairways were in great shape but could have been cut lower. Still very playable. Layout is interesting, somewhat challenging with 200 yd par 3s. Staff is very friendly. Definitely worth it.

long grass on fairways

I have played this course many times over the years. The greens used to be quite slow - now they have improved and are actually somewhat fast. The fairway grass is quite long with clover patches. Hitting from it is not necessarily easy. Then when you get into the "first cut", the problem is magnified. They are offering some attractive pricing, especially through Golf Now, so it is worth the trip.

Greens were much better than I expected based on previous reviews I read. They are inconsistent but hold shots. Nice layout with some challenging holes. Played late morning and speed of play was great! Friendly staff and reasonably priced. Worth the trip.

Nice First Impression

Our first impression upon arriving at the course was good as the course was green, scenic and the staff was friendly but it changed once we reached the first green. I can honestly say I have never played on worse greens. It was almost impossible to hit the ball hard enough to get to the hole and if you were fortunate to get to the hole, it was almost impossible to be on line. My ball was once stopped by a mushroom growing in the green.

The course has tremendous potential and has many pretty holes. A complete makeover of the greens would make this course worth playing again.

Great Features. Pleasant Suprise.

2nd round at course. Greens seemed to have had weather issues but are coming along nice. Recommend this place to anyone in the area looking for a great value, friendly atmosphere and great golf.

Tricky trap placements.

Good golf for the money

Not a top ten course for Michigan, but a good value for the price paid. The fairways are well maintained and manicured. The greens are decent maybe a little longer grass than I would prefer which made estimating your putting force difficult. The staff was friendly and the food was good. I would come back again for sure.

little help

This nice design and layout needs A TON of work. Its a nice place to take your kids if they are learning to play. The course is in very poor condition for this time of year. I've played here many times in the past and it had always been in nice shape. Not resort type shape but way better than it is now. Please fix this little gem!

Getting Better!

They are trying very hard to make improvements and it's obviou. There is still work to be done. Greens are not in the best shape -- need to be sprayed for ants; need to rolled and sanded after arriation; need to be cut in the morning "before" play! Very slow and bumpy. Fairways fine -- a little long in grass but okay for me. Nice course that still needs work.
