The golf makes it worth this experience

The golf makes it worth this experience

Since last played in the nineties the course has changed . But the water bottle and towel that represents a resort course. Was missing! A small but important aspect of being important. And stamps the beginning of a round. It just not as impressive as it was. Shame to allow Covid to matter!

GTR's most fun course

I played the Wolverine the day after getting beat up by The Bear, and what a difference it made with my post-round mood. Shooting 83 is so much more enjoyable than struggling to 96.

The Wolverine still has its challenges. The elevation changes are more dynamic than The Bear. The greens and bunkering remain plenty demanding. The first time I played it, I didn't appreciate its beauty. Now I do. It's my favorite course at GTR.

Poor conditions and slow play

I was very disappointed. The round was very expensive. There were no carts available and so we missed our tee time waiting for a cart. The bunkers were in the worst condition of any course I’ve ever played (except for the Bear which is on the same property and has the same terrible bunker conditions. We sat behind golfers who were very slow and clearly don’t play much which meant for a very very slow and long round. If you rate the course based on price per hour then it was a good value I guess.

Nice value

We played in the afternoon when prices were lower. The course was in great shape, the greens were very receptive and true and bunkers had plenty of sand. Pace of play was a little slow on the front nine but then two of the groups in front of us only played nine which allowed us to fly on the back nine. So our entire time was played in sub-4 hours.

Great course overall!

Enjoyed the course. Nice layout. You can tell course is getting a lot of traffic as tee boxes have a lot of divots. Great value overall. Highly recommend!
