November golf

The course was in fairly good shape for this time of year. Leaves are always a problem. We enjoyed our round this course can test you. We will definitely return.

First Time Playing

Very Pleasant Surprise!

I had some time between appointments in the Grand Rapids area and was able to secure a Golfnow tee time at 9:30 AM for $20 and figured I would take a chance as I have never played here before and hadn't heard much about it.

Well, it was money very well spent! I arrived at the course to find one other car in the parking lot and it appeared as though I may have been the first person to go out for the day. The course was a true joy to play and was in immaculate condition. One issue that I will complain about is that for 14 holes all of the greens were perfect...when I got to 15 that all changed and the clubhouse staff (what appeared to be a 20 year old kid) didn't bother to tell me that 15-18 had just been aerated. When I say "just been aerated" I literally mean it had to have been that morning. The aeration holes were huge and no sand had been put down yet. Those 4 greens were inputtable. It was a disappointment as I was playing very well up to that point and simply had to impart the automatic 2-putt rule.

Aside from this aeration issue the course was fantastic. Very playable and fair and a great variety of holes. The back 9 does get a little bit tighter on a few holes but still playable and not intimidating.

I would highly recommend this course and I will play again this fall to enjoy the fall colors on this "up north" feel track!

Couldn't make the turn?!

11:30 tee time made turn at 1:15 with group in front and group in back. Grabbed a water in clubhouse less than 5min than proceeded to 10th tee. We found the course had allowed 8 players to tee off on number 10 together ahead of our turn. One of those foursomes was already hitting second shots and foursome in tee wouldn't let us play through. Ended up getting -18 hole rain check and leaving the course. Pretty shocked and very frustrating experience. Course is very nice just need serious guidelines for play etiquette.

Great track north of town

Cedar Chase is a very solid track located north of GR. Greens were in fabulous shape. Back nine is a test after a score-able front. Overall a great value!

Beautiful Course

My wife and I really enjoyed this course.It's a little deceiving from the parking lot but it is a very nice layout carved into the beauty of the natural terrain and woods. The back nine is a little tougher than the front.

Tough but Excellent!

Some tough holes, but a great layout. #11 hole is tight and long....requires accurate play. The course is in very good shape although there are a few stones in the sand traps. The staff is super friendly. I got to the course early in the morning and was the first off for the day. I haven't seen this many sand traps on a course for a long time, but I guess it makes up for the fact that there are few water hazards. Finished in two hours and 40 minutes....I love it when I can breeze through a course! I highly recommend the course and will be back.

Can't beat it for the money!

I've played this course a few times in the past and it didn't disappoint. I got a golf now discount to play this course for $16 for 18 holes. I feel like I robbed the course for this price. The place was in great condition. The fairways were cut nice and short and the greens rolled true. This course has always been difficult and is ideal for golfers that want a real challenge. The only quips I would say would be that the greens didn't seem to hold well a lot of the time they released a lot and the sand traps tend to have plenty of rocks and pebbles strewn throughout. I can't wait to get there again.

Great Course!

I've played this course a few times and it's been in great condition every time I've been out. A nice mix of some easy and some challenging holes. Overall great set up that requires a diversity of shots. No need to worry about a pretentious crowd or staff. Everyone always seems to be very friendly.

Play this course before the fescue grows tall

Played 18 in 4 hours with a tight deadline as I had to get to work at 4. Paired with 2some who played relatively quickly first 3 holes then mysteriously lost a ball on par 5 #4. We played ahead. Ranger told us to play thru a couple of groups of Sparta HS golfers which we did. Fun course and yes keeping it out of the fescue helps, but in mid-April you get away with murder. Greens in very good shape as was course for this time of year. $25 was a GREAT GolfNow deal!

Not a bad price for once a week but can add up for those who play more. There are a lot of other deals around $10 - $14 that are good for frequent players.
