The Medalist Golf Club

Conditions were pretty good for this early in the year. Staff andd fellow golfers were friendly. Nice track for the money!

Given the greens still have signs of aerating, the ball would not roll. But they were still charging sub~premium money to play. Should be charging less until the course conditions match the money charged.

Beautiful course, seemed crowded with leagues each time I’ve been. Witnessed inappropriate behavior between female staff and members of the mens league on a Tuesday evening, and heard very vulgar things being said at the clubhouse amongst the same group with the staff. Distracting and unprofessional and overshadowed the great round of golf. It was disappointing and substandard for such a beautiful course. Will give it another shot this year, hoping for a better experience.

This year has been a fantastic year golfing going into semi retirement and with 88 rounds since March this Medalists is certainly GOLD. Great layout, conditions, character, challenging, and super greens roll true. Scored $43.59 for 2 on TeeOff, what a bargain! Even $29 medalists websites is a deal for this quality.

Only negatives, don’t like GPS with advertising, and a small crowded pro shop downstairs. Yea between great conditions, swamp carries, and plenty of challenges ( 144 slope from tips!!) this is a must play.

The ownerLowell W was on hands on. My buddy moved to Jackson area so I’m sure we will meet up here. Drove almost 2 hours to get here and was not disappointed.

Good turkey dinner just down road

Thanks Lowell for a great well run course experience with wife and buddy on a nice Saturday 11/6/21!

Second time playing the Medalist. Great course condition for frostbite pricing!! $28 can't beat it! Love the challenge.

Plan on losing a few balls.

A great risk/reward layout. Greens are large, often tiered, and ran true and fairly quick despite drizzly conditions. Mutiple tee boxes enable all skill levels to navigate some daunting carries. Very scenic as mostly generous fairways are cut through wooded and rolling hills.

Have played several times and my appreciation grows with each playing. One of my favorite mid-Michigan courses.

Generally good course. Nice course condition. But, it could be hard for beginners. And, the staff at the pros hope was okay, you know...

Beautiful course. Very well maintained. No starter on first hole and no ranger anywhere. A group of 4 jumped in front of us (twosome) on 10 which slowed us down significantly. We weren't in a hurry, but someone to manage things like these on the course would be beneficial to all.

This course is better courses in area for price. Always in great shape. Look no further for challenge for all skill levels. You will want to put in course rotation.

Even with a power outage (big storm night before 4.5-5 inches of rain), drainage was excellent. As you would expect the greens quickend as play progressed. I play the seniors tees (74 years young), still a challenge to clear some waste areas. Extra balls required for my gave ;) . I believe if you play this course, you'll be back.

I love this course. The layout, atmosphere, conditions, staff, driving range, carts, all top-notch. There’s really nothing else to be said about how amazing this course is.

BUT.

The leagues have taken over this place. I literally can’t find a day of the week where, as a public player, I have a good time here. And I hate writing a negative review of this wonderful course, but holy smokes I paid full price today to be stuck behind 6-straight foursomes of ladies who literally couldn’t hit a golf ball. I played 9 holes in 3 hours, and found 45 golf balls in the forest while I waited. There has to be some room at this course for people who aren’t in a league.

The Medalist is a good test but fair. Course conditions were great and the service was good.

1. Very busy on a Sunday and it was s l o w.

2. Their carts have gps which works some of the time but they also have a crap ton of ads on the gps system which is super annoying and then you have to wait more than a minute at times for your yardages. We stopped using it in hole 2.

3. They need to do a better job of advising what tees to play which would help with the speed of play.

4. This is the type of course I personally don’t like. Where a wayward shot is heavily penalized by red or white stakes and lost balls. There are some quite narrow holes and if you stray, grab another ball because you aren’t getting that one back.

Course was amazing per usual. Manager or whatever guy working was very rude. Claimed we were late for our tee time and it was an error between their system and golf now’s scheduling. We were 10 minutes early just an FYI. No apologies. Great round though!
