Very difficult course for weekend players.

The front 9 was so difficult and we lost many balls in the tall rough. The last 9 was more pleasurable, but very challenging.

fair but challenging

The course was in very good shape and has some holes that are challenging and others that provide opportunities for pars and birdies. Club selection is key.
Very enjotable.

Great value!

Loved everything about the course except there was NO marshall. We played as a 2-some and the 4-some in front of us didn't let us play through til the turn. We then proceeded to play through 17 before even SEEING a group in front of us.

Other than that it was a WONDERFUL golf experience we will be back!

Well maintained, fun course to play. I try to make it an annual course for our up north trips.

This is a fun course to play. I played with my 80 year old mom, dad, and brother. We all had a great time. The course is challenging, but fair. Make it a part of your northern Michigan golf experience.

Very Playable, good conditions, scenic and enjoyable

Overall very good -- got behind a couple of foursomes on the back nine who probably took 6 hours to play. No one behind us so we replayed 6 holes on the back. Great value for the price and overall a good experience.

Course was in good condition, but rough was long.

We played on Memorial Day so course was not crowded. We got to the course early and were able to tee off before our scheduled tee time. Pace of play was excellent.
