Nice track

I was the first tee time off in the morning as a single, so that pace of play is not normal, however, the other times I have played here have been fairly around 4 hours, even on weekend afternoons. This is my favorite of the three Livonia public courses. It has some really interesting holes but is not overly complex. This was my first time playing there this year and the course was in nice shape. The greens are a little rough from the winter still, but everything else was good.

Awful greens

I understand the winter was tough on some courses but I can't believe how bad the greens were here. My group was never made aware that there were some temporary greens. The greens that were in use were in some of the worst shape I've ever seen. Definitely won't be back again, I can play much nicer courses for the same cost or less.

GolfNow didn't list course issues

There were several greens that were under repair. Very high rough also. Not worth the fee paid.

course was under repair

The putting greens were terrible! Some were not even being used. They mowed down and flattened the approach area and made tiny little rough greens. I wanted to golf by my self, but they made me go with another pair. We had to wait about te to fifteen minutes on the first 7 or 8 holes as there were 4 or 5 golfers in front and going very slow. They made us start on the back nine and we should have started on the front as there were many less golfers on the front. It was still a good time ,but the course conditions could be much better.

dump!

half the greens were covered in arps and the actual greens were fairway grass, not manicured well at all, and doesnt drain well obviously ,hence the cart path only rule while other areas around this facility were dry. If all this would have been told, I would not have wasted my time.
