Gold/Red at Bello Woods Golf Course

Course was great. Greens were fantastic

I took my son for his first time playing on a course. The course was not very crowded, and provided the right opportunity for me to teach my son the game of golf, and the expected behavior for being on the course. For the price it was a good experience for both my son and I. We would go again.

Overall this course was fun. Had a little too many straight holes. Not a ton of tough shots. I did like that it was easy to know where the pin was .

They have little black dots on the score card to tell where to hit. I wish most courses would do thi and also put the distance each dot is. So club selection and knowing how far the hazards are is a little easier. That goes for all courses.

Bello Woods was well managed in terms of pace of play. Course Rangers were out and about moving the play along and directing golfers to the course they needed to be on upon arrival and also at the turn. It was refreshing to see a course take pride in their management of the players on the course.

However, the conditions of the course leave much to be desired. Fairways and Rough are hard to distinguish, along with Greens that need serious work.

Overall, if course conditions do not bug you, this course would be a good place to play.

1st time here we did 27 holes and had a great day of golf.

Love the course... Just played it yesterday. The staff is always friendly...and the course conditions are actually pretty darn good considering how early in the season it is and the weather we have had. Will be going back next week for sure.

The staff is friendly but the grounds crew is horrible. They have some that just don't understand golf ettiquette and courtesy! the rough is just that, very bad lies and lots of tire tracks from carts on fairways as well. Sand traps are more like dried up mud patches and there's no way to play a true "bunker shot." Great for value and to shake off the bad shots before the upcoming outing!

Course was still maintained although it was 11/17 in Michigan. The owners work the pro shop themselves and are very friendly and down to earth.

Bello Woods is an older coarse, but the grounds have been pretty well maintained. The tee boxes and greens are in excellent shape. A few of the fairways are hard, but I played at a time when we've had little rain.

Wow, where do I begin?!? As mentioned in the title, this place makes maple lane look like Oakland Hills. I put this place on par with palmer park in Detroit and that place doesn't even have discernible fairways. First off was the starter, basically some kid who didn't say or do anything but sit there and look lost. Had to approach him to get any reaction and he sent us off white to red. First hole I began to notice how little pride they take in this cours . The fairways looked like they hadn't been cut in a week and were more like rough. Dirt patches and standing water lined what would be the fairways. The greens varied in length so there was no chance to develop a consistency in speed in putting. The carts paths could best be described as moguls and will jar you and your clubs like a 7.8 magnitude quake. About 20% of the fairways are completely dead with massive amounts of dirt patches in the fairways. This all became extremely apparent in the first few holes. Then we get to the backed up fifth hole and realize that the starter put us behind four foursomes. As a twosome, absolutely unacceptable. There were five, six and sevensomes on this course. Pace of play was terrible, took 5 1/2 hours for a twosome to play 18. This is a true beginners course, as in you could take somebody here who has never played to hack away their first round. Nobody will care, because nobody cares about this place anyways. That was super obvious. This place belongs as another reviewer put it 'in a trailer park', but even then it wouldn't help it to save face. Honestly, this place needs to be sold to someone who actually knows how to maintain a course, but even then, the layout is extremely basic. As it stands now they should just close it down and turn it into a dog park. I will never play here again, nor would I suggest you do. Do yourself a favor and drive ten miles to maple lane if you're thinking about going here, that place is a craphole too, but a heck of a lot better than this horrible course. I don't care how cheap it is, trust me, it's not worth it.

It is a friendly atmosphere. Mostly regulars in the early morning and leagues in the evening. The 11 - 1 time frame is a good time to get out.

Fairways were decent. Greens cared for. An enjoyable experience. Not going to lose any balls there.

White course is challenging gold course was pretty straight forward. I haven't played the red course yet but I will be playing it soon. Over all pretty nice course.

This course is full of old people and women. If you want to play a quick round this is not your place. Left after 11 holes. Took almost 3 hours as a single to play 11 holes, brutal!!!!

This course allows you to work on your golf game. Red and White is wide open from the tee. Gold challenges you of which club to play.

Not too bad of a place, decent conditions and good pace of play

Bello Woods is an ok course. We played in the afternoon and it looked like the greens needed to be cut. This course makes you think with its tight wooded fairways. Overall we enjoyed our round and if we get another Golf Now deal we may be back.

We had a 9:30 tee time and when we got out there, there was 10 carts lined up with no starter. We ended up behind people with a 10 am tee time. Other than the slow play, the course was fun. So, be aware, if you don't mind waiting an hour to get on course, this place is for you

I played so fast because the course is somewhat short but i also played the best round of the year shooting an even par 72 with 4 birdies, 10 pars and 4 bogeys. I passed up 6 groups of people which was great because every group asked me to pass before I attempted too and every time I hit a beauty. 260 down the middle every time and almost getting a hole in one on the 4th hole i played landing only a foot away. Also got my first chip in birdie of the year as well. Enough about me, the course was in great condition. The greens rolled true but this course has those trees with helicopter leaves so the greens need to be cleaned everyday which is seemed like they did. This course is similar in difficulty to maple lane but i think it takes better shot making because there are several holes with creeks across the fairway so you need a club in your bag to carry 200 in the air. Also there are a lot of holes on the gold course with narrow fairways that are lined with trees. I am going to come back to this course all year if i can get it at a good deal again. Also the people in the clubhouse were friendly unlike cherry creek down the street.

Very nice course, very fair pricing. Lots of water obstacles on course. Very good snack choices/bar

There are some serious drainage problems on this course. Water, damp/spongy ground, wet traps, etc. Pace was great and the price was awesome.
