One of the best in South Central Michigan

Has everything you like in a challenging course. Must keep ball in the fairway to really score well.

Greens are fast and fair (except during the superintendents challenge). You won't regret stopping here to play!

Up North Course in Southern Michigan

I have been playing the Medalist for years. Beautiful course, with many T box locations to challenge your level of skill. Lowell Weaver great guy and will work to get you your best rate and time. Outside deck overlooking the 18th green is awesome.

Course always in great shape with some great views like up north.

Great course for the money

The course is about an hour north of my home - me and several of my golf buddies go there to golf each year - I have never heard one of them say anything negative about the course. This last trip I brought three friends who had never played The Medalist - all three want to get up there one more time this season! They enjoyed the course despite the rain we had during the first few holes.

Surprising gem in Marshall

The Medalist is a well designed course with great views and challenging greens. The greens are in great shape and have subtle breaks that will test your putting skill. The course is fair, but you have to bring some game to score well. The staff was very accommodating, and the overall experience was wonderful. We will be back.

Great Mix of Woods, Ponds

An excellent layout that places a premium on a well places drive. Large greens that are easy to hit, and also easy to three putt. Many scenic holes that will make you pause and comment on the beauty the course design. Great course design offering allowing for many risk reward shots.

Tourney prep

My son had not played golf for 3 weeks due to school exams. Wanted to play a good course before he participated in a Jr Golf Tour event. We enjoyed the course and it was a good challenging tune up for the tourney. We really enjoyed our round and plan on playing again before we return to our home in Europe in August

Condition of course was excellent, pace of play was fast as there was not a group in front of us for two holes and staff was very friendly and accommodating. Will play here again even though we are 40 miles from the course

Spring Golf

Course played like it was summer conditions. Fairways and bunkers were perfect. Greens rolled fair for time of year.

Ownership has upgraded the course over the winter and it has shown.

Keep up the good work.
