Great course

Best fairways I’ve ever played on. Overall the course is a treat. Very tough though especially if it’s windy.

Tough Track

I played here A LOT back in 2006-2008 when I attended GVSU. Now I play it once a year. at least.

It is a tough course. Links style. A lot of heather not far from the fairways. A lot of ways to lose golf balls.

Conditions are always great.

For some reason they had the greens rolling faster than I have ever seen on my 9/4/24 round. Course is tough enough without super fast greens.

Still a fun place to play if you don't mind tough golf.

Wet day but great golf

Played on a Thursday afternoon where it was raining a little bit on and off most of the day. This course has hosted NCAA championships and is a great test of golf, with many interesting holes and challenges. The greens were lightning quick and the course conditions were excellent from tee to green. We didn't have any issues with pace of play, especially on the back nine, possibly due to the weather. Would love to play here again!

Good course. Too many players.

Great layout. Very well maintained, especially the greens.

Too many people: Played behind a FIVE-some; solo golfers cutting around the course, looking for openings; HS golf teams taking up all of the practice areas.
