Oops my mistake

I wanted to play on the 25th but screwed up the reservation and made it for the 24th. When I showed up on the 25th they pointed my mistake out to me. They were very friendly and accommodating and said it was not a problem. We played that day and will continue to play there. The staff is great at GCC and I recommend it to anyone!

Very Pleasant Round

For an early October round of golf, the weather was outstanding! The course was still very green and full. The layout was a fair challenge to all skill levels. Not many people there so the pace of play was great! We will definitely play again.

It's all true!

As somewhat of a golf course snob, I am always skeptical when I see superlative comments like "best greens" or "best value" however after finally playing Gaylord Country Club yesterday with the wife, I can say it's all true. I've played everywhere in Michigan you could ever want to play. I don't remember anywhere (including all the big names) having greens THIS good. Everything rolled true, without a bump or unpredictable turn. They are fast, undulating, and often penalizing if you hit the wrong side of the putting surface. Simply outstanding.

The layout is really nice. There are some short risk/reward holes as well as some substantial tests. But the par 5s are all reachable and there are mostly generous landing areas so it's not going to beat you up or take 3 sleeves of balls. The course is beautiful and thoughtful in all the right places, from the stone bridge on #18, to the various flower gardens around the tee boxes, to the well kept driving range.

I swear I don't work at the course! If I had one critique I would say that I could have used a sign on #9 to point to the correct tee box. I accidentally teed off on 18 by mistake. Also, the cart paths never go anywhere near the blue tees, so it's a little bit of a slowdown to have to walk 30-40 yards every hole.

Oh, and like others have said, I found it odd that they didn't correct the scorecard or at least post a note somewhere to mention that the little maps on two holes are incorrect.

This is definitely replacing the mid-priced courses on my list and moves ahead of many higher priced courses. I will certainly be back next year and probably every year. It's a shame I've been playing golf in the Gaylord area my entire life and this was the last one one on my checklist.

To summarize: best greens you will play. Immaculate conditions, a fun course that won't beat you up, and a bargain. DEFINITELY play this one.

Outstanding!

My girlfriends and I golfed here for the first time and couldn't be more impressed. The treatment of the staff was over-the-top and welcoming. The greens were in immaculate conditions (despite how tough they were to play).

The only odd thing was that hole 15 and 16 appeared to be the opposite of what the score card presented.

Overall, golf here. You get the country club ambiance and treatment while golfing at a well-maintained and fun golf course!

Great course.

Be sure you know how to get out of the bunkers. Not that you hit into them on purpose but there's a few and a very good thing is they are in perfect shape. If your in Gaylord this is a must in my book.
