Tough back 9, Cart path only

Happy that there were 10 min tee time intervals - a rarity in golf these days - but we still waited ~5 minutes on every tee. Played the course after a rainy day and there was water pooled on several holes. We were out on a hot afternoon weekday and it was still over 4 hours.

Course did not have liquor license so it's beer only. Maintenance guys decided to have a long pee contest in front of us teeing off on 14.

Really surprised that a county course wouldn't promote walking - there's no discount for playing without a cart. $32 for 9 holes keeps everyone who doesn't have 5 hours to golf away from the course.

The back 9 is more challenging than the front, which was more open. Just about every hole on the back was a tight fairway surrounded by trees. 18 was a 235 yard par 3 with an incredibly long green. Tee box signs did not have hole layouts. Cart paths on the back 9 were new and very smooth, but carts were limited to the paths. After 14 the path forks and there's no sign directing you to 15.

Course aesthetics were nice, just wish the highway wasn't right next to the course. Course was maintained well - it's just built in an area with a lot of water. Water doesn't come into play here - you lose your strokes in the woods. We saw 5 deer during the round.

Still an interesting enough layout and cheap enough round to try the course.

Great Course with Fast Green

Play often at Pierce Lake. Great layout for a municipal golf course with numerous sets of tees that make it playable yet a challenge for golfers of all abilities. This season greens are faster making it necessary to pay attention to every putt. Fairways generous off the tee with greens protected by bunkers and hills. Always enjoy playing there and will continue being a weekly stop for our golf group.

Nice course. SLOW PACE

It's a nice course. Some challenging holes. Course is in fair condition. Greens are difficult. Pace of play was ridiculously slow. I played solo caught up to a 4 some that let me play thru after 6 holes. Made the turn and there are 4 somes that are just teeing off. They said "sorry bud, we've been waiting to start" then continued to tee off. It's always garbage when a code sends players off the front and back.

Sunday Funday 7/23/23

Beautiful course. Condition of the course was very nice even with the downpour rain 3 holes in. Greens were in great condition and drained well after the amount of rain the course received.

Superb course - excellent value

There’s nothing negative I can say about this course, This is a well manicured course (greens are cut and rolled 5 days/wk), you won’t be disappointed.

Great conditions and friendly staff

Course was in great condition. Staff was very friendly. One of the best values in the area.

Only negative is that they need one more set of tees. The gold tees are 6800 yds and the blues are 6200. Either a new set around 6600 yds or a mixed set on the scorecard that makes sense would be good.

Will definitely be back.

One of the best Muni Courses around

The course is in great condition. The greens are smooth and relatively quick, which I prefer. I also love the unique vibe w/ the 5 par 5s and 5 par 3s. For the $$, I'm not sure that there's a better deal and golf experience in Washtenaw Co. If you haven't visited yet, you should!

Great course at a great orixe

Having never heard of or seen Pierce Lake before, I couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised. The course was in great condition, the practice greens were immaculate, and everyone was very friendly. Definitely worth the drive from Toledo!
