Great value

Played 4-8-21 from non to 4:00.....OK pace, course ib=n very good shape. Work underway replacing cart paths but that did NOT disrupt play. Fairways and greens in good shape...green speed medium. Course staff was working on bunkers and removing grass, etc. around the rims. I drive up from Toledo 1x-2x/month to play and it's well worth it!

Great course

Have played this course at least on e every year. Usually 8-12 of us. Course conditions have always been great. Front fairly open after first hole. Nice elevation changes. Back nine tighter with some elevation change.

Last hole can be a killer depending on pin placement considering the green is very long.

Stop the presses

My wife and I played. I went in to pay, it was for 9 holes-senior rate as we are both over 65. I asked the attendant how much was 9 vs 18. He informed me that 9 holes riding was $24 and 18 holes riding was $29. At that point I asked if we finish the 9 and decide to play 18 what would the charge be, He stated that it would be an additional $5 per player. When we finished the 9, my wife decided to play another 9. I went in to pay, and I was then told that it would be an additional $13 each. That would have made the entire cost, $37 each, when their rate online for seniors are $29. Told the to shove it.

Course was reduced to just the front 9 available for play due to maintenance on the back nine for the cart paths. This was a non issue for me I decided to play the front twice.

I was able to be matched up with 2 other golfers that actually worked at the golf course as rangers. John and Tom we great ambassadors for Pierce Lake. I had a great time playing the 18 with them both. The course was in great shape and the greens were very challenging. I will definitely try and get back out a few times at the course before the snow flies.

Fun with great layout

Course was in very good shape. The greens looked very nice but didn’t putt true. Back was more challenging with tight tree lined fairways and grassy areas to carry The play was slow. There were a couple walkers in the group ahead of us that slowed the pace. Over all a very good course that I look forward to playing again

I'll be back

Wide landing areas and large, quick, greens. Bunkers and greens are very well kept. There was a couple holes where the fairway was patchy but other than that, it's as well kept as you could ask for from a public course. Played at noon on a monday in about 3hours and didn't see anyone infront or behind us until the 18th hole. Staff was friendly. Would definitely recommend this course.

My favorite public course in area

I booked round on Golf Now and was a great price. Was a single and was to be paired up with a threesome. The didn’t show by tee time so the starter said go ahead by yourself if you want. A little slow of pace but much better than an usual weekend. Started to rain and course cleared out and had place to myself and had a great round. I really don’t mind getting wet. My choice. Course held conditions well. Nice challenge and really feels like it puts you in touch with nature. Seen lots of wildlife and is a preTry course. Worth the trip.
