Located just 15 minutes from Flint, The Captains Club Golf & Event Center is one of the area's most popular public courses and it was even voted Grand Blanc's best golf course. Known as much for the challenging layout as it is for the affordable rates. The spacious layout offers plenty of room with wide-open fairways, none of which run parallel to one another. Dense stands of mature trees enclose most of the holes, making them feel even more peacefully secluded. Towering trees loom above the narrow fairways and they also surround the large, undulating greens. Water also has a prominent presence on the golf course. A series of waterways weave through the holes, almost completely surrounding some of the greens. The Captains Club Golf & Event Center is a course that will test your iron skills, but there aren't many opportunities for driving.

Hit 'em straight!

This course can be very challenging. Trees, nay, forests line most fairways, and a healthy dose of bunkers and water are scattered around the course. Bring a lot of balls if you like to spray the ball, and maybe even if you don't. The greens are the hardest I've ever played, but they aren't a walk in the park. In the few times that I've played this golf course, the greenskeeper has changed the tee boxes and hole locations to give this course a different feel each time.

You must drive a cart on this golf course, the holes are sometimes far apart, so walking wouldn't make sense. The restaurant on site is good.

One of my favs

I am a big fan of the captains club as I play there quite a bit, the course is usually kept in really good condition, and the beverage cart girls come around very frequently. The staff is very good, and I would definitely recommend this course to anybody who asks
