7th green. This is a beautiful and difficult par three at almost 190. The green is one of the largest on the course and is three-tiered. Be sure to go around the corner to check the hole location, as the shot is somewhat blind from the back tee. Photo submitted by u314161955381 on 12/27/2022

15th green. This is a very interesting risk-reward par five. The green is blind from the fairway up until about 100 yards out, but if you're able to fade a driver over the trees that cut into the fairway on the right, you will be able to go for it. Photo submitted by u314161955381 on 12/27/2022

17th fairway. This long par five has a winding back and forth fairway that takes you deep into the Michigan woods. The fairway is plateaued and either side drops off and you have hardly any room to miss. Photo submitted by u314161955381 on 12/27/2022

Solid, but won't be running back
Always wanted to play it. Was excited to see what it was about. Layout is funky, feels kinda congested sometimes (even more so when the course is busy), but the course is taken care of.

Great Course
We were quite impressed with the layout. The trail take you through many wooded areas to get to the next tee. The red tee boxes are quite generous. When in the area again, we will definitely be playing here again.

Damp day
Was a bit wet when I went out, hqvnt played here while it was wet or rainy so decided to take a shot,no pun intended, the course ended up playing alot better while wet . I'm a bit of a big swinger so for me to have fast greens normally I have to down club and hope for the roll on and this day was not the case I could place the ball where I wanted on the greens and let it play was very nice time not worrying about the ball rolling off the back will look forward to playing here again on a rainy day

Busy
Pace of play was a bit slow, but to be expected on a holiday weekend. Very friendly staff. Greens were a little slow, but were in great shape.
