West at Warren Valley Golf Course

About
Warren Valley Golf Club in Dearborn boasts two 18-hole courses designed by Scottish architect Donald Ross. The courses are some of Ross' first designs in Michigan. The par-71 West and par-72 East Courses both have traditional layouts that sprawl across rolling hills before settling along the banks of the Rouge River. There are several scenic holes on both courses that play alongside and across the river. The West Course has tree-lined fairways but they are generous and the greens are open and inviting. Tricky doglegs are shaped by the trees or the river. The river comes into play more on this course than the East, on seven holes to be exact. The bunkering is minimal but there is a surprising variety of elevation changes that will keep you on your toes.

too many pot holes on course
ground has way to many pot holes. worse that driving on michigan roads.
Great course if it hasn't rained in a while
I've played this course a couple of times, and if you come in after it's rained a few days or so prior, you wont enjoy your experience, but if you play it in a dry week, you'll love it.
Staff is fantastic, however I've never seen a beverage cart out and about, so load up early or at the turn.
Awesome! Thank you for taking the time to review Warren Valley GC we are so happy to hear you enjoy the course - come out again and see us on a drier week!
Carleton Review
The course is very nice except for the bumpy fair ways.
Needs work
Played this course on a great weather day. Staff at club house for check in and starter were pretty gruff but the beverage cart and snack shop at the turn very friendly.
Biggest downside course poorly maintained. Fairways too tall, leaves and branches all over the course. Hard to find balls on fairway shots. (We wen't the only ones, came across numerous balls left behind, which made finding ours even harder)
Course design was confusing, sometimes difficult to tell where next hole was, and greens and teeboxes on top of each other too frequently. Holes are wide though and minimal water and sand, making it a forgiving course. There is a par 3 on the back 9 though that is evil.
Yes, it was a budget course, but there are better budget courses out there.
Fun and play
I think that this course have a nice layout with a lot of trees and for the price you can't complained. I like it, is one of my favorites.
Good for the cost
Staff is great. We booked a little over an hour before we tee'd off and they were very accommodating. They also serve before noon on a Sunday, which was also helpful to my poor play. I definitely will return.
Average course
Not bad if you can get a good deal or are just looking to get around fairly quickly.
Great value
For $10 what can you say... Great weather, fairly empty course... cruised through
Been Playing for a Number of Years
Been playing at Warren Valley for a number of years. Course is always in good condition. Not a very difficult course to play. I have always enjoyed the East Course better than the West. Would recommend it to others.
Average difficulty level
This course has a lot of challenging holes but not enough to destroy your score card. I like that it's not to easy but not to hard of a course. It will challenge your game with hills, peaks and valleys but if u can hit the ball straight you will be in good shape. Overall, great views on many holes and hard enough to challenge any intermediate golfer
not bad
pretty nice course. Greens were not very difficult. Ranger was a bit of a Richard.
Challenging Course but Fun
Course well kept, staff friendly. I lost a few balls but overall enjoyed the outing.
Warren Valley East Course
Great course for the price. Well maintained. The staff is always friendly and helpful. I would recommend the course to all.
Anice day with friends
the day was beautiful, the course was in good shape considering that the day before we had a large amount of rain we. The staff is very friendly and the hot deal price we paid was excellent.
Nothing special, but the price was right
We played at Warren Valley on a Saturday as a twosome. The GN price of $18 was very reasonable to play anywhere on a weekend. There had been alot of rain so I was worried about water on the course, but it really was not bad. The course in general is in average condition. The rough is very bumpy and you feel like you're offroading in your cart. The greens were sloped and mildy challenging. What I didn't care for with the course is how close together the three 9's are. Golfers were all over the course like ants and you frequently had people on your hole hitting their stray shots or oncoming golfers hitting into you as you tried to take a second or third shot. The holes are mostly straighforward with a few doglegs here and there and some elevation changes. For the money it's a fun place to play.
How do I give this 0 stars
Dump. Pace of play is a free for all. Staff seemed burdened by my presence at the counter. Virtually unmanaged. Terrible condition. Not maintained......and for the price it is still a horrid track.
Decent condition for April
Great price. Course has some hiccups but it's early in the season.
Debris
Course was very busy with no starter or course rangers. Goose droppings everywhere with fallen limbs through out the course
Oh! Sorry to hear that, we appreciate your feedback on the course. We'll have our staff audit the course conditions and make sure it's up to par for your next round at Warren Valley GC. See you again!
