Course Highlights
This links-style course consistently impresses with its challenging heather rough, true greens, and fairways that hold up remarkably well even after heavy rain. Friendly staff and outstanding value make the drive worthwhile for golfers of all skill levels.

Course is in good shape. Was a little damp from rain, but able to use carts over the whole course.

Hunter’s Ridge

Good shape, beautiful. On of the best in southeastern Michigan without a doubt. If you haven’t played it in years, the new ownership is doing a great job improving it and is worthwhile.

Great course with many challenging features.

Excellent course. Fun to play and very well every time I have played there. Despite playing in Fall with leaves and ground, course was well kept and greens swept clean. Fairways always in great shape. Friendly and courteous staff. My boys and I love playing here!

Soo worth an hour drive

Hidden gem in my mind! RIP Jerry Mathew’s (course designer) has made some of the best affordable links courses in Michigan! Always depends on the current owners but his layouts are great

VERY IMPRESSED..worth the drive

Really enjoyed my round here. Everyone in the clubhouse was very friendly and acted as if they appreciated your business. They definitely took pride in their course. Pace of play was perfect...nobody was taking 5 minutes to read a 5 foot putt they would muss 80 pct of the time anyway.

Course was in fabulous shape with both the tee boxes and greens very well kept..fairways too. What you see is what you get here...pretty generous fairways from the gold tees at least.

Would highly recommend. Overall a fantastic round...shout out to the clubhouse and maintenance crews. Worth the drive!!

Unwelcoming staff negates a nice course

This is a nice, moderately challenging course that's just a few steps from being a real hidden gem. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition. Greens are small and undulating, so you'll have to be on with your short game. Unfortunately, the rough had just been mowed down for some reason, really eliminating much of the links-style feel. I wouldn't really call this a links-style course, anyway. For the price paid, the carts really need to have GPS. Most courses I regularly play now have GPS and lower greens fees. There's really no excuse at this price range.

A couple of the fairways are so narrow and close together that they're somewhat dangerous. You have to really keep your eye on other golfers out here on certain holes. The pace of play was agonizingly slow, and the ranger was nowhere to be found to push slower golfers.

Unfortunately, the indifferent staff and gruff service left a lasting negative impression. My party was completely ignored by the starter at check-in. We had to interrupt his chat with the ranger, which seemed to irritate them both. The ranger was nowhere to be seen on the course, despite the painfully slow play. When we made the turn at #10, he was right where we left him at the clubhouse, still chatting with the starter.

Overall, it's a course with plenty of potential but so unwelcoming it leaves little reason to return. There are a lot of great courses within 20 miles of here that offer a much better overall experience.

Great Find!

I have never played this course before. If felt like I was golfing in Northern Michigan. Not the longest course. You are rewarded with good shots but the hazards can sneak up to you. I will be golfing this course again.
