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.

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.
