Good but there is better in A2

Leslie Park is much better than it's sister course Huron Hills, but in my view there are better choices in A2. LP has some nice views, interesting hilly terrain and with narrow fairways on some holes can be challenging. Greens are adequate but not great so your putting scores may suffer a little. Quite a few walkers on the course at times which can really slow things down, particularly at the height of summer. Staff are excellent, very friendly. Clearly the U of M course and Radrick Farms are the best in A2 but if you can't get on those I would recommend trying Stonebridge ahead of Leslie Park.

Best Muni in Washtenaw

Of all Arthur Hills designs, this is his best. Undulating terrain keep things interesting here and the bunkers are very well placed. Great golf experience for being in the city!

Nicely Surprised

Friend had seen this course and suggested we try it. Saw it was a "muni" and thought usual flat, back and forth layout. Wrong. Very nice layout w/ woods, wetlands, and a few water holes. Front was slow as we were behind 5 groups of seniors who warned us they would be slow whcich was very nice of them. Ranger could have started us on 4. We looked at layout on back and went to 14 at the turn and it worked perfectly. Conditions were very good and greens weren't bad considering they were pplugged a month ago. Will definately play here agin.

Be aware

Be aware they will aerate greens and still charge you summer rate. We could not roll a putt to save our lives..We stopped in on the turn and talked to the pro shop about the conditions and they said "the greens are fine"! We couldn't believe it..they didn't offer customer service at all.

Aerating is expected in late Sept., early Oct. Did you think to call ahead ?? Played there yesterday and greens were as good as can be expected after being plugged several weeks ago.

Much improved!

The changes made to the course mandated by a water project that impacted the golf course have really settled in. The rough was punative but not extreme. Leslie Park challanges all skill levels.

Pace of play can be a problem as the course is extremely popular.

Nice, but slow

No rangers on the course, so pace of play was awful. Took 5 1/2 hours to play 18 holes. Absolutely no reason for it, either. Course was in very good condition - greens were fast, fairways were cut well. Tee boxes were a little shaggy, though. And, there wasn't a beverage cart on the course.

Overall, if I could get out there again, and not have the slow play, I would. Great value.

One of better courses in lower Michigan

The course was fast and difficult. I always like playing this course. Greens are firm with plenty of traps (of which I was in quite a few). The fairways were fast and rough was fair.

Great Golf Course!! NO HOUSES! Old beautiful landscape

Absolutely a great golf course! Greens are fast and pretty true. Scenery is outstanding! Terrain changes on every hole. A REAL GOLF COURSE!! The only drawback is you sometimes get the beginner golfer and or the college type hippie that wants to walk the course and takes forever. But usually they will let you go through. A MUST TO PLAY!!!!! The top Municipal course in the USA!!!

Fun track

This is a really nice track with a number of elevation changes throughout. For the money, it's a good value. You may want to check with the clubhouse before booking here; I've gone a couple of times and been told the rates are lower if you call.

Great Public Course, great value

This course was a pleasant surprise. In great shape and was a great value. I was able to get 18 holes with a cart on Sunday for $16, you just can't beat that. Not for this course. It is worth every penny. Will definitely play again.

Leslie park worth the money

One of the better muni courses you will play these days IMO. They were having problems with no 11 fairway when we played otherwise the course was real nice. Even the plugged greens rolled ok (it was that time of the year). One of our favorite courses. You can tell they have put some money into the course as trees have been taken out to it a more pleasing to the eye, especially the back nine.

The course deserves its reputation.

I had read a lot of reviews about this course and about some of the national recognition it has recieved before playing. I really liked the course. It has open fairways and gradual doglegs. The course is very beautiful with mature trees and lots of elevation change, but there were some GUR areas that we had to work around. The staff was very friendly. We'll be back.

Fun course

My son and I enjoyed this course a lot. He is a better golfer than I am so he had to be more careful because the hazards fell within the distances that he hits. It made him choose his shots. Great course!!

So much potential

Nice arthur hills course, poor maintenance.
First 3 holes are kinda boring, after going through the tunnel holes 4 through 9 are my favorites, rolling hills, room to bomb away, fun!.
Holes 10 through 13 are around the river, you can tell the maintenance struggle here mostly caused by the creek's overflowing.
Before hole 14 take your time and drink some water before climbing the steep hill to reach the 14th tee, back in the hills , take your time to smoke one and enjoy the view for a minute, beautiful finishing 5 holes.
For a 17$ hot deal is a steal
