Royal Scot Golf Course - #1

Once upon a time a while back there was a golf course attached to a bowling alley in North Lansing, MI. The course was once the play to play in the greater Lansing area. I remember that this golf course once had fairways free of weeds and especially clover. The greens were once the standard setter for the other courses around town, they now show signs of someone trying to maintain a golf course "on the cheap". We played on July 4th, the course didn't have a whole lot people playing, but then again it still was high 80s and humid. The tee boxes are mature and level. There was a bit of the mid season normal wear and tear, but for the most part they were in good shape. The fairways are generous in width, and for the most part in good shape except for the occasional broad leaf weed invading the space. Clover on the other hand is a bit of a nuisance and is well established in the some of the holes more than others. The rough is of a manageable length and is playable. The bunkers are in pretty good shape for the most part and some of the bunkers on the north 9 are being allowed to grow back to grass honestly not a big deal. The traps had for majority were being raked by the players that have found their way into the bunkers. The greens rolled pretty true, they were in pretty good shape considering we've had excessive heat and humidity for the past week. There were some individual greens that had some of their own issues from sunburnt / cracked earth, some had what looked like moss growing in some of the low areas. For the most part the patrons did fix their ball marks on the greens. Overall the course is still worth a play.

Too many people too close to tee time, course needs work but value is through low rates

Do not recommend waste of your money. Tea boxes are chewed up. They don’t know how to mow. Avoid this place at all cost tea boxes look like the Vietnam war

The condition of the fareways were not recommended at all. The course was not maintained correctly. I used to play and enjoyed it but I was shocked how the course was destroyed.

Between Golfnow and the course, the pricing - and the logistics of getting from one of the three 9's to the other - was maddening. Will not go back again and am cancelling my Golfnow subscription.

I had to tell the 7 golfers that they each had to pay an additional $10. Plus, senior rates were discontinued. And the greens, normally their strong suit, were scalped with some of the undulating greens pretty bad.

Not sure if their was a change in ownership but it is not the course it once was

What a tremendous difference one year has made on this course, absolutely no intentions of mowing the difference between fairways and rough, the fairways look like they’re not even fertilized. The greens are awful non-receptive uncared for the entire course is like it fell off so much that I will never return again. What a waste of money.

After paying for 18 holes, I was informed after paying that I didn't get to play the new holes because you have to specifically ask to play those holes (and pay an additional $10/golfer). Then my 1:14pm tee time started at 1:40. Then the round had on average 3 to 4 groups on every hole - no ranger speeding things up. After 2hrs and 55 minutes for the first nine and went to the 10th hole only to find 2 new groups now jammed between us and the original group in front of us, we decided to leave. Horrible golf experience...

Played outside and north 9 last time I golfed here. Inside & outside 9's are usually fairly well maintained. The north 9 was a joke, especially for an extra $10. Almost every green was half dead, dusty dry fairways with little difference in length between them and the rough. Fairly scenic, but the upkeep leaves quite a bit to be desired. There are better courses around to pay under $55 for 18.

The front line was in pretty good shape. The rest and that’s so good. I don’t think I would play it again. We did have a good time.

You can tell they are working hard to improve the conditions from the last few years. Definitely a work in progress but can see the improvements! The staff has been way friendlier this season as well!

This golf course has seen some rough days but the new golf super intendant and crew alongside him has made this golf course a beautiful and well kept course. With the low price to play and with how amazing everything looks, everyone in Lansing should play here!
