Great Course w/ GPS golf carts

Course was in great shape I would recommend this course to play. I absolutely will love playing the course again and again. The only downfall is hole 1 and 10 is right next to driving range.

First Round

Course just opened but had no tee markers . Pace was good which surprised me. Greens were slow but its good to have a course opened after long winter.

I was disappointed that I had a 6pm tee time and was sent off on number ten where three groups were waiting to tee off. I would have had to wait fifteen minutes or more to tee off. Would have been lucky to get three holes in. Got a refund instead but waisted a 1/2 hour driving to and from the course.

Frustrated

It was unfortunate that I, as a senior resident was charged $38 rate on a weekday afternoon for 18 holes w a cart.

I thought it was a mistake but not! Course not worth that! Won't be back...

Nice Municipal Course

Played early. Played 18 in 3.5 hours. Course is always in good condition. Nice tee boxes, nice fairways, true greens with lots of movement. This is my favorite of the Livonia courses. I’ll be back!

One of my favorite courses

A good challenge of golf. The course can be made to play quite difficult, but the staff keeps it challenging without being unfair. Typically, in good repair.
