Nice Layout

Nice course. Greens are in great shape and running fast. Tee boxes could be kept in better shape as well as some spots in FW. Overall a nice and fun course!

Truly a Gem

Pierce Lake is one of the nicest layouts of any course around...coupled with being well maintained makes it a great 18.

The back tees are extremely challenging and pace of play is generally good...they have a good staff that keeps things rolling.

Great course

Came from Georgia to visit family, I was impressed with the conditions of this course. Tee boxes, greens and bunkers were in excellent shape and well maintained. The layout is good, a challenging course. Greens are fast, so it cost me in few holes. I am playing again before heading back home.

Great course

Nice challenging layout. If you slice your in for a long day. The only complaint I had was the young kids who were the "rangers" on the course did not do well with moving the pace along. We had a fivesome in front of us playing best ball that slowed us and everyone behind us down. Took our 3some 4:25 to play 18.

Wish I was good enough to play here more

This is a very nice course with a good layout. I just wish I had enough game to really play here. There are a lot of forced carries, tight drives, and blind landing areas for both tee shots and approach shots. I hope to improve enough so as not to lose so many golf balls. If you find a TaylorMade ball, it is probably mine-- but at least I got them for free.

Worth the trip

It’s a little out of the way from metro Detroit but it’s a course worth visiting, plus it’s a great value. Front nine is more open with elevation changes, back nine is a little tighter and more straight forward. As long as I live here, I’ll be out to Pierce Lake at least once a year.

Decent track. Rude staff

I have played this course many times. It is well maintained and offers a solid golf experience for a public course. Unfortunately, the last couple of years the staff has become more and more rude. The people in the clubhouse lack any courtesy, and they are totally inflexible. There is almost no way way to play as two or three without getting a stranger added to your group.

Course was great, Golfnow was not

Made a reservation for 4 and paid $18 to golfnow 4 days in advance. The rest was due at course. Being the day before Father’s Day it was extremely busy, we arrive at course and they have no record of reservation, even handed pro shop my phone so they could try to look up all confirmation numbers and everything. Someone else now had our tee time. Staff was very accommodating and was able to get us out shortly after our scheduled tee time. There is no way to get a hold golfnow over the phone, they direct you to their website where you run in circles, it’s been 24 hours and I still haven’t been able to reach anyone. I just want my $18 back!
