Wow!

Fantastic gem of a course.

I played midday on a Monday and finished in three hours hitting a couple balls per shot with never a real wait.

Course offers a multitude of tees, well kept fairways and tee boxes, and greens in excellent shape. Variety of difficulties off the tee, it’s a thinking person’s course as far as which club to select, not just swing driver all the time. Greens that were well kept and fair, felt my reads were true all day, no weird snap hooks or bumps. A fair test all around.

Additionally I very much appreciated the smooth cart paths throughout the 18 holes, two well positioned bathrooms, as well as plenty of ice coolers to fill my water bottle up seemingly every time I needed it.

In conclusion, not usually a reviewer but this fantastic course deserved it. A little over an hour from my home, but well worth the drive, I will be back!

Always good

Course was a pleasure to play again. The only disappointment was the location of the holes, it was like superintendents revenge round. But will return, and if you never been, GO!

Saturday Golf in Chelsea Michigan

Pierce Lake is always a pleasure to play and the golf course is always in good shape. The only negative today were the pin placements, it was almost what they call a superintendants revenge, many holes were in places that made it unfair, luckily it was not a tournament round. Will come back for sure. Greens rolled well and greens not too fast!

Excellent Course

Pierce Lake is an excellent course with now standard multiple tees for varying Handicaps.

Course is in good condition...except bunkers...certain times I take drops out of bunkers so I don't damage my club...in bunker behind 14th green there are rocks bigger than golf balls which to me make it unplayable..

Bizarre that staff could care less about the Course

Playing golf in April in Michigan means you know it's going to be soggy & plays similar to fall.

They had signs everywhere CART PATH ONLY ALL 18...makes sense because with standing water certain places a cart can do damage. So after witnessing group ahead completely ignore posted signs and even having to drive near greens because most cart paths were roped off....so I called clubhouse and asked if they cared & was told he'd send a ranger out...never did a anything & were at least 5-6 guys in or in front of clubhouse but they could care less that course was being torn up.

A real bunch of SOBs

Great course, great price, like being in a nature park

We live in the area and always see these holes from the highway and think, "we should go there", but then forget about it when booking tee times. This year we made a point to get out and try it and we were not disappointed. It's a great little course tucked away off the main road in Chelsea, and you'd never see it there if you weren't looking for the sign.

The course design is pretty fun, lots of holes cut through woods, trees planted/left standing to give you a hard time, swamps/ponds to shoot over and other natural obstacles that make it a fun course to play. I also really liked the feeling of being in nature, and in a park setting, while golfing. A few holes you can see a building or a house, but for the most part there are none in sight.

One thing to note; they have probably the best cart path I've ever seen at any course. It looks like a brand new asphalt path that is continuous throughout the entire 18 holes. So on muddy days like the day we went (early spring) it was nice to have a solid path to stay on.

Lastly, I did ding it a bit because we were paired up with another couple. I really dislike when courses do that (and I'm guessing pretty much everyone does). I don't go out golfing to golf with a stranger. And IMO it slows things down compared to sending the two pairs out back to back; half the time we were trying to figure out the other's pace of play or what kind of rules they follow. It's especially problematic when one pair is better than the other. I think it probably slowed us down by about 30 minutes over the 18 holes.

But overall, this was a really great course for a really decent price. I'm excited to go back when the weather warms up and there are leaves on the trees; I suspect that will make it even more challenging.

great course

Could only play the back nine, as the front nne was closed for cart path reconstruction. This is one of my very favorite courses to play. Not extremely challenging, but challenging enough to make this course onr of the courses that is a "MUST PLAY"
