Pre-season

The course is always fun to play. Hopefully greens will get better as year goes. Looks like some of the greens have some fungus.

Great course!

I heard about this course from my husband who warned me how difficult this course is. Always up for a challenge, I decided to see for myself! This course is one that I will definitely play again from the wide fairways, pins in the front, great "head start" from the women's tee box to the beautiful landscaping. We will be back again. Staff at the desk were very friendly. All in all, a great round!

Hot deal and great conditions

Played on a Monday recently with a hot deal for $27. We played somewhat early - 8:45 or so and played in less than 3 hours. Bring a good, straight tee ball here because the fairways are tight and tree-lined. The course was in great shape and the greens rolled good. We will be back...

Great Golf Course

Played on a perfect day so conditions were good. The golf course has a great layout. It's challenging but not so challenging an average golfer like myself can't play it. It is in excellent condition and is well tended. The greens can be a challenge as some are different layers and undulating. It was just a really nice experience. We ate in the bar afterwards and the food was really good.

Great course, great hot deal

This is one course I have had my eye on to play. So when I saw a really good "HOT Deal" at a tee time I could make, I jumped on it. I was very impressed with amenities, carts, and the course itself. I can't wait to go back and play it again.

Love playing here

I've only played here 4 times because I live about 90 minutes away, otherwise I'd play here more. I'm a 7 handicap and find the course challenging yet playable.

Course was in tremendous shape. Greens putted true and the fairways were terrific.

I'll be back!

Awesome course, worth the drive!

The Medalist is one of our favorite courses in SW Michigan. The course is always in great condition, the holes are spread out and fun. Golf carts have built in GPS AND you can order food and drinks right from the cart and they will bring it right to you! This hidden gem might be a bit of a drive for some but well worth it for the value and enjoyment of the course.

Gem of a Golf Course

Played there on a vacation in Michigan. Great design,

greens were in good shape, lots of trouble if you do not hit it straight. Thoroughly enjoyed playing the round with my son and grandson.

Great track - will play again

Very nice course. It is located off the beaten path but well worth the drive.

Tee Boxes and greens were immaculate. A well struck shot would hit and hold the green.

Fairways were also very nice. Not to soft, not to firm, just right.

They have a very nice patio which overlooks the 18th hole. We ate out on the deck after our round and food was great, solid portion sizes and everything came out as ordered. The menu is extensive so everyone could find something to enjoy.

It is in my top 10 Michigan golf courses.

Great track...

The people were real friendly and helpful...The course was in great shape and not too many obstacles for me to get in trouble !!! We were a twosome but ended up playing with friends offs the guy I went with, great time...The back got a little backed up at around the twelfth hole...I called the pro shop and explained what was going on and they apparently sent someone out there too move things along...All in all, I highly recommend this course...Also, I'd like to thank the AWESOME people at Golf Now on Orlando,Fl...Always treat me very good, thanks to all at folks GOLF NOW !!!

Course was in very good condition considered the earlier bad weather that we had. Challenging course. Will be much better and more challenging once the leaves and landscape comes in. Plan on returning.

One of the best courses I've ever played

The Medalist is hands down one of the best courses I've played in the state. I went to school at Olivet College, and some of my fellow alumni/baseball teammates get together during homecoming weekend and play an informal outing here. The course itself is always in phenomenal shape, and is challenging for my game. Love the GPS on the carts as well. The patio overlooking the 18th green is also a great feature, as we always seem to heckle/cheer the guys in our group as they approach the green. Every year, I look forward to playing a round here, and always enjoy the service, both on the course and in the restaurant. I will always look to play a round here whenever I am in the area.
