Established in 1927, Chemung Hills Golf Club is one Livingston County's oldest courses. The classic design has withstood the test of time beautifully and it is still considered one of the area's toughest public courses. The layout stretches across lush, rolling hills that are dappled with mature trees. Chemung Hills is known almost as much for the beautiful scenery as it is for the challenging design, which is characterized by its elevation changes. The ups and downs on the course range from subtly tricky to dramatic and intimidating. The layout has a player-friendly mix of short and mid-length holes, even all of the par 5s are reachable. Though you may not need length, your shots will need to be straight and accurate. You'll face blind shots on several holes. Strong iron play will be generously rewarded on this tough golf course.

Terrible pace of play everything else was nice

Made it through 12 holes in 3.5 hours as there was a major slow down on the back 9. Me and another solo who teed off ahead of me ended up skipping 13-16 and bypassed about 6 groups of 4 between these holes. 17 18 we still had to wait to hit but finished in 4.5 hours skipping 4 full holes.

Challenging Round

My son came to Michigan from the mid-Atlantic with a friend to spend a 4-day golf-a-ganza with my wife and I. We started this 104 hole marathon at Chemung Hills. It had rained the previous day and I was surprised at how dry the course was, considering the back 9 is in a very swampy area. Fairways and greens were in good shape. The course is always challenging, but pace of play was good and the staff is always friendly. It was a good way to start our fun filled weekend.

Nice course!

After playing 7 or 8 courses around Howell I finally got to this one on a really good price from golf now. It was very very wet and often needed to drop out of ground in repair or trudge through mud to retrieve a ball. With all the rain this is no surprise, however I will say the course still played well despite the rain. Elevated tee boxes were very nice to play from as well. Probably one of the best courses in the region for design. Had to take irons off of tee boxes or woods based on distances a few times instead of just playing everything long. Would reccomend,
