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.

A Gem!

We had a great round here in mid July! The course conditions was right up there with the best of any I’ve played this summer. The finishing holes leave you wanting to book your next round. The pace of play was steady and we finished under the suggested time on the computer displayed in cart. This same computer display on cart was extremely helpful with distances and course layout throughout the round. Would highly recommend and I look forward to playing again.

Very Nice Course

Pretty good test. Not overly long. The course was in great condition. The only thing I would suggest to improve is to cut the tees a bit lower.

Unexpected Gem

First time playing and was extremely surprised how nice the course was. Greens were in great shape, roll consistent on all of them and my ball held on all shots hit. Fairways are well maintained and with adequate area to spray your ball a little without getting in deep unplayable grasses which line most all fairways. Staff friendly and helpful.

Definitely will play again and recomment to golfing friends.

Great conditions, great layout

Rolling hills, very scenic links-style course. Greens were quick, undulating and well-bunkered. Several holes had forced carries over wetlands, need to choose your tee boxes carefully.

Course was in superb condition with well-defined fairways and impeccable greens. I play once a week and this ( along with Moose Ridge cg) was the most fun I've had this season. Well done.

Beautiful and unforgiving.

Beautiful remote country setting with woods and some water. Fairways and greens are well maintained and consistent. You must be capable of hitting the fairway off the tee or you WILL lose your ball in the tall rough that surrounds every fairway. Bring lots of balls to play this course!

This is top 12?

For being a "Top 12 in Michigan" course my entire group was wildly disappointed, and we all seriously question where they got that award from. We all do a fair bit of traveling around Michigan for golfing and this course wouldn't fall in the top 50 for us. A few things worth noting.

-the cart geofencing was atrocious. Several times we were almost over 40 yards from the green and it was beeping at us.

-half of the Fairways had massive swaths geofenced off.

-alcohol costs were far over average, and they were out of stock on several regular domestics.

-Fairways were not well maintained. Divots everywhere, and areas were patched with the wrong grass.

- brats were put in the hot dogs section of thr roller and their food was minimal and expensive. Condiments consisted of mustard, ketchup, and little packets of relish.

- The staff was very courteous, and they did provide plastic bags full of ice for your drinks, which we appreciated.

If I played this course and was asked "what would you pay to play here?" I'd guess it was an economy course at ~$30 for 18 with a cart. If this was the case I'd be super happy with it and probably give 4 stars, but they charge a very high premium and there are WAY nicer courses in michigan for a lower price. We'll never be back.

Very Nice Greens

Played in the south from feb-apr. Nice to have bentgrass again. Course was in grest shape. Pin Locations were devious. Only thing I would improve is making the bunkers more rimmed so the ball feeds into them and doesnt lie in a spot that is sand/grass combination. Enjoyable round though.

Sssh - Hidden Gem

Links at Hunter's Ridge = a hidden gem. I have played this course yearly since it first opened. Given the great course conditions, I consider it a great value for the price. Tees, greens, and fairways were in great condition. Well worth the longer drive from Metro Detroit area to play this course.
