Pierce Lake Golf Course

a real gem but not for the average player. a number of par 3's 200+- yards which are all carry to the green. I felt like I was playing a Northern Michigan course rather than one 15 minutes from Ann Arbor.

I've noticed this course driving back from DTW a couple years ago and finally had an opportunity to give her a go.

The course is just as fun as I thought she would be. I felt a couple times that I was 200 miles north and playing in the Grayling MI area. The layout runs the gambit from cut through hardwoods to open heather bordered links style. She has plenty of fine grained fluffy well tended sand traps to keep you humbled. Tight fairways cut through the hardwoods might just force you to keep the big dog in the bag on a few holes. Throw in some water for good measure and you have a fun round in store for you.

The greens roll true and were kind of speedy even with the amount of rain that we had the night before. They would hold a lofty approach shot sadly the patrons didn't understand the concept of ball mark repair so I did my best to fix a couple more along with my own.

Staff:

They grounds crew do a wonderful job maintaining this high traffic track and keep the bunkers tended along with greens that roll true and are above average speeds to make one take pause when making a 6 footer. They stop what they are doing when a person is making a shot as well. The gals working the bev carts are friendly and seem to show just in time to keep a cold CRAFT BREW in hand. At the turn I had one of the best turkey club sandwiches that I shoved down my gullet.

I would recommend giving this course a try.

Five Star golf course with friendly staff, excellent conditions, and reasonable rates!

Absolutely awesome course. The course needs to be marked much better as there is trouble on most holes and very few hazard stakes to be found.

course is in really good shape ,they need to add yardage signs for carrying marsh land.

Well maintained course with some interesting holes and elevation changes throughout. The greens were some of the best I've seen this year and there was no indication of damage from the winter. It's easy to get to off I-94, but most of the holes feel like they are fairly secluded. The couple of problems: There are a couple of holes on the front side next to an auto dealership and the announcements from there are annoying, especially during your backswing. There are a couple of holes on the back nine that are pretty close to I-94 and all of that noise. I've played there four times and have found the wrong group on a tee when we arrived every time because of a weird grouping of holes on the back side.

Really nice facility. Well maintained. One temp green right now, but it looked only days away from re-opening. Some blind shots but not unforgiving. A little course knowledge can go a long way here. NO RANGE. Five tee boxes.

.nite nite scores except one green was being receded they have the flag in the fairway

I really enjoy this course, lots of contour to the land which makes for a good time. Like most courses in the area, winter was very hard, but the course is coming back nicely. Would takes business colleagues to play this course.

Really enjoyed the course. Challenging yet fair. Wouldve played a few holes differently but that comes with the territory. It would definitely be my home course if I lived in the area. Can't wait to go back!

Just played this course for the first time today. I would have played this course a few times by now if I knew about it. Really interesting holes many different types and open,through woods, neighborhoods ect. Very fun and only one temporary green on the whole course (#2). They have nice electric carts and is walkable. The only thing that is a negative is the lack of driving range. I'll be back again for sure.

I personally love this course....very challenging but fun holes to play within a great setting

Considering our winter, Pierce Lake was in very good shape this early in the season. Greens were probably a bit slower than they will be as the weather improves. Played the gold tees and thought the course was very fair. Good golf holes, nothing tricked up. No real long carries over marsh/wetlands. Good course for ladies off red tees.

Excellent golf. Greens in good shape for being so early in the year.
