The Captains Club Golf & Event Center
About
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.

Golfer Reviews
So much potential
This course used to be nice. There have been a series of unfortunate events and management has not done a good job recovering. Most bunkers are unplayable, tee boxes are horribly uneven, and fairways are either a swamp or a desert. Food is good, service is not. Draft beer is undrinkable.
good solid course
Fun course, challenging from back tees. Short but tricky from the forward tees. fairways in good shape, greens had a little of everything. some pretty flat ,some tiered some with large breaks.
Gorgeous course
It was a day after rain, so bit sloshy, but we won’t hold that against you.
I had an 11:04 tee time, and there were three people at the tee ( showed up at the same time) so I’d say manage the starting spot a bit better. ( didn’t see a marshall)
Other than that no issues at all. Staff was awesome. Food was awesome. Course was awesome
Good layout interminable playing time
We had the 744 tee time Saturday. Fourth group off. We tees off ten minutes late. Third hole four groups on the hole. I left after 2:40 for nine holes. Round I guess took over five hours. Someone needs to live people along especially that early. All it takes is one group. Playing early means finishing early not five plus hours
Hopefully someone reads these. Clearly from other reviews this happens a lot
Good course good condition. Fun otherwise. Just hate to pay for 18 and walk off after nine aggravated and unhappy
Nice course
Course was slow-going for the first 5 holes, as I was a single playing on a Monday morning (I get as a single, it happens... get over it). After the 5th 3 groups let me play through and by the 8th I was flying. I didn’t run into anyone on the back, and no one caught me (I hit 2 balls). Definitely shot placement golf,. I think I used my driver once on the 1st hole (it helped my score). Course winds through sub-division, but the houses aren’t “right on you”.... it’s nice. I don’t know how I played this course for $20, but it was awesome. I will be back. Thanks for having me guys!
Target golf to the max/ slow greens/ terrible pace of play
First of all, I agree with everyone who says the pace of play is terrible. We had a 3:44 tee time, putting on the putting green in line to tee off. (Putting green is a joke- it’s big- but not one flat putt- literally on a huge mound). Once 3:44 rolled around - there was still a massive back up on 1. We later found out that people at like 4:12 and 4:30 just showed up and went to 1( no ranger/starter). So we decided “f it” let’s go to 10 and press our luck at 1 when we need to make the turn.
2nd- what a TERRIBLE golf layout- if you have played metro Detroit and played devils ridge and thought ‘that was target golf’ after the round- well this course makes devils ridge wide open from the tee.
3rd- terrible greens- slowest in metro Detroit that our group has played thus far. Shaggy,long. Granted we played at 4:00 but still have played plenty of golf in the afternoons where greens were fast.
Save your money
Play somewhere else
Strategy golf
Great place to work on playing strategy golf. It will eat golf balls if you’re not careful. Greens are in good shape. Bunkers need work. Fun to walk!
The course has some great holes
I wouldn’t recommend walking 18... in between holes is very long. But overall course with a lot of potential come summer.
Great course for the price
If you are looking for a challenging yet interesting course layout this one is for you. Just minutes off I 75 in grand blanc,I half an hour north of Metro Detroit. This is my home course and I play it often. The greens are second to none, very challenging and undulating. You can often see deer and other wildlife cross the fairways in this lovely 18 hole layout.
There are too many forced carries on this course. If you don’t know the course, it is hard to knOw which way the hole goes. Too gimmicky
Really enjoy this course!
Love this course. Last time out got stuck behind few inconsiderate groups. This blows me away that people don’t let you play through, add the fact that I’m a single most of the time. People need to think of others and fix your “mistakes“ wether it’s on the tee box, fairway or on the greens. Come on people get your heads out of your a$$e$
Fun with a few caveats
Enjoyed the round, people were really nice, price at 40 for sunday morning wa son issue. Course was in good shape, save for the traps which were very hit and its, some nice, some basically not playable. These are subjective which is whY i don't write many but...
my issue with the course was that is was clearly designed around houses. Long drives between holes, lots of short par fours with severe doglegs, so you have to on at least 6 or 7 holes tee off with as little as an iron and you still have a short iron in. All three par fives on the front have something in front about 75 yards out, with means that unless you hit your drives(we played blue tees) 240 you end having to hit driver, then mid iron, then 8 or 9, it is generally a 210-230 carry over the stuff, so you can't really get close to green as you'd hope on a par five just sort of goofy.
But if you haven't played, its worth the 40 minute drive from the detroit surburbs just be prepared form some holes where you just scratch your head and wonder why
