Wallinwood Springs Golf Club is bordered by the scenic Grand River on its eastern side. The challenging layout boasts an island green, an island tee, and a peninsula fairway. The golf course has two distinctly different nines, beginning with an open Scottish-links layout before moving onto the back nine, which is enclosed by mature trees. Wind definitely plays a role on the front nine and on the backside of the course there is a 26-acre, man-made lake, where if you're not careful you'll be met with a watery grave on five holes. Extensive mounding is paired with 30 strategically placed sand traps to provide even more challenges. The most difficult hole on the golf course is the par-4 16th, which stretches to more than 400 yards. Golfers will need a long, straight drive from the island tee in order to avoid the water on both sides of the fairway.

Challenging

This course is very challenging. The front nine is just a very nice cars.The Back nine feature great views of water, which you will want to have your ball avoid meeting :-) my score was horrible, but I had a lot of fun!

Hacker’s Paradise

Cheap and always has tee times available. That is where the positives end. This course is in awful condition all year long. It has grass growing in the dirt traps (no sand to be found here), weeds growing on the tee boxes, and rock hard greens in terrible shape. Make your tee times online because if you call you will be spoken too as if it is a hassle that you are calling at all.

The one person working seemed annoyed on a bad weather day that we chose to come play anyway

This course is know for holes that lose the battle with high rains and the Grand River and that was the case again on the back nine. It’s a place to play cheap but know what your going to get. Ok layout, no real fairways, bunkers with big rocks everywhere, and a back nine that’s usually in rough shape due to water damage.

Good value for the cost

Good value for the cost. Only paid $20 for 18. Course layout is pretty solid in the back is pretty darn tough. It’s just aesthetically nothing is taken care of. Fairways are mold and greens are actually decent but that’s about it. No sand and bonkers etc.

Plays long

The course plays long even from the Gold tees so it is a bit of a challenge. Expect higher than normal scores (but not a whole lot). Still a good course.

Good solid Course

For the first time playing it was a pretty nice course. I will definitely play it again. Couple tricky holes like 17 that’s almost not fair. Besides that had a great time, great people on and off the course and a really friendly staff. Tell Sarah she did while making our vodka tonics

Disappointed with course and cart conditions.

I have played this course a couple times this year but won't go back. The back 9 can be challenging as water comes into play often, the potential for a nice course is there. On the negative side, the cart paths are in very bad conditions and are difficult to drive on. The sand traps are either covered in heavy grass or have numerous stones and pebbles in them which makes playing out of them impossible...unless you want to ding up your clubs. Had the grounds keeper follow us for the whole back 9 on mower (seemed like we were hitting around or over him every hole). This made it difficult to enjoy the round as a mower was running near the tee box constantly.

We had the golf cart die on the fifteenth hole after having issues with it most of day. Called clubhouse and was told to lift up seat and hit components with an iron and it should start again. This did not work...eventually someone came out with a replacement but we had to let other golfers pass us while we waited.

Harder than one might think

Staff is kind, course in good condition - greens are speedy. Mosquito repellent is nice to have. Fabulous hot dogs! High grass sometimes consumes balls, but that’s Michigan. I love the added tchotchkes at the Tees. Would recommend to friends.

Incredibly disappointing

I've played this course numerous times over the past 25 years. It's been a year or two since my last trip. And this will have been my last. The front nine has deteriorated but is playable. However, the back nine is in horrible shape. I understand previous flooding from the river will have affected a hole or two but...some holes it is difficult to tell if/where the fairway is. Greens are inconsistent. Traps unattended. There are just too many other courses in the GR area to play to even consider going back here. The clubhouse is run down on the outside and appears it may not have been updated on the inside since I had my wedding reception here 25 years ago shortly after they built the place. Our golf cart was loud and required pushing down on the gas peddle 3+ times each time to get it to go. The whole place takes on the appearance that it is about to go under. Which is sad because it use to be such a fun challenging course.
