Quaint up North course

I did not dislike or love this course. I would compare it to Twin Birch in Kalkaska, Sauganash in Three Rivers, or possibly Saskatoon south of Grand Rapids.

I will definitely say, the back 9 is a little more scenic and feels more like an up North course than the front 9. The course actually requires some pretty good drives because a few of the holes are pretty tight. I couldn't get a good gauge about how nice the greens are because the front 9 was healing from being aerated. I would honestly say they would probably be subpar even if they weren't healing from aeration marks.

Check out the course if you're in the area if you can get it for $10 on golfnow like we did. FYI, you'll have to drive down a dirt road to get to the course.

Loved The Course

We loved this course, but beware of the gnats. It is a beauful wooded scenic golf course, abundant with wild life.
Our only suggestion is that they move the ladies tee ahead in many of the holes.
We will definitely come back again.

The Course is on its way back

Played this course before it was sold and dormant for a year. Played for the first time since then and the current owners are doing a good job of getting it back into shape. Greens held shots and putted pretty true. Fairways are green but need to have the grass fill in somewhat. Will be back to play again this summer. It is just a nice change of pace to play this course.
