Poor condition

The condition of the course was not good. Not to mention that there are soccer pins and tee boxes cut in all over the course. Flags everywhere

Terrible

First, I booked through GolfNow, 18 holes for 43. Its usually 50-55. The pro shop acted like they have never heard of golf now before, even though I've been golfing there for 20 years. Then after showing him my phone and the confirmation, he said I could only play 9. HUH?? There were 6 cars in the parking lot and most leagues don't shotgun start on a Wednesday.

Tee Boxes; worst I've ever seen. More cigarette butts than grass. Not level in the slightest. You will tee the ball up a different height everytime

Fairways: Patchy, poorly maintained, crab grass everywhere

Greens: BROWN AND LONGEST IVE EVER PLAYED

And you pay more here than at luxury courses. AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Solid golf course

Royal is my home course & has been for over 20 years. It's 27 holes with the newest 9 holes being much tougher especially if the wind is up. The 1st photo is the tee box of #19 but the other two are from another golf course. Grand Ledge Country Club I believe. Either way, Royal is a fine golf course with plenty of stuff for the family to do if they don't golf.

Blah

Staff not friendly. Price is crazy high for the area and competing courses. The new 9 is the only decent holes but it starts at 7 and ends at 15 so you have to play 18 to get the decent 9 with bland holes to start and finish.

Great course

Very good course from the blue tees. Walked and enjoyed the pace. Bring your own water bottle as not all of the thermos stops had paper cups!

Don’t adhere to good pairing policies

Booked on golf now. Only 1 spot avail. Other 3 had been purchased. When I arrived I was told I would have to wait because the 3some ended up bringing a 4th. I had to wait 1 1/2 hours before I was finally paired with a 2some. They were booked with all 4somes . They should have honored my purchased time and told the extra person sorry. Really poor experience.

Great Course

This course was a lot of fun to play. There was a mixture of sand and water traps to add difficulty without being overwhelming. I would definitely be going back in the future.

Good test, in very good condition

This course is a very good test as the length from the white tees is above average. Greens are always in good shape as is the rest of the course The course does get a lot of play thus can be slow..
