Well worth it!

Challenging enough for the experienced golfer but fun for the not so experienced. Long par 5's to short par 3's, this course has a little bit of everything. Staff couldn't be friendlier or more accommodating. Do your self a favor and give it try. Not to often do you get this amount of bang for your buck.

Awful "golf course"

I'm not a snob or a competitor. I'm just an average golfer. I play every week and travel all over Michigan to play any course. I can honestly say this is by far the worst course I have ever played. There is no distinction between the rough and the "fairway" and all of it was weeds, quackgrass and crabgrass. Hasn't been watered or even cut. Tee boxes were incredibly uneven and some were 90% dirt. I wouldn't even call it a golf course. Looks like not a single dollar is put into the maintenance. It's so bad that the scorecard is printed on a piece of paper. No joke. DO NOT PLAY!!!! Go anywhere else

Nice course, Good time!

Played Belle River today and thought the coarse was in good shape considering all the rain in the area and this still being may. A buddy has been playing here for last few years and invited me to give it a try. The greens were good and the rough was rough but playable. I enjoyed the challenging holes but they dont beat up a duffer like me. Carts are newer with phone chargers in them(i shouldnt take my phone on the course). The staff was pleasant and the restaurant had some nice sandwiches and good beer on tap. All in all i had a good experience (maybe because I broke 100)...lol

I will definitely come back

Many Fairways were like a cow pasture

I like this course, when they cut the grass.

When we played yesterday we have difficulty finding our ball in the fairway because some had not been cut in awhile.

For the money we were very disappointed.

Thought about asking for a partial refund for partially manicured course but in the end decided just not to go back.

Hi David, thank you for the review. We are happy to hear that the pace of play was quick for you and that our staff was friendly. We do however regret to hear that the course conditions were not up to par. This is not the standard we are trying to set for our golfers and will pass this note along to help make improvements. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon!

Great Time

Great hidden gem. They just opened, but had the Course already looking nice. Played here for years and the changes over the past few years have been fantastic, they even have new carts. Best value for the money and a wonderful staff. Just try it once and you'll be hooked.

Great place to play golf

I try to get a couple of rounds in here every year. For the most part, the course is not really busy, on weekdays, which is when I generally go. All of the par 3's have some danger, Some of the par 4's require a little bit of skill to avoid getting into trouble, while the par 5's are long and need some good distance shots. The staff in the clubhouse and grill are great.

Fairways need mowing, but the greens are great.

Staff was extremely nice and friendly. Fairways were pretty scraggly but playable. Very impressed with greens. Moderate speed, but rolled true. My husband and I had a very enjoyable round.

Treated like I owed them something.

Nice course layout, manager wouldn't budge on tee time even though I was early. Pace of play was terrible and the manager could have alleviated that some by letting me go out alone. 5.5 hours for 18 holes isn't worth the money saved on golf now. I would be careful on using golfnow on this course. I sat in my car for a half hour and watched 2 people tee off on 10. I could have started on ten. Courses who don't use their head are usually slow during the week. My guess is this course has very little business mon through thursday. Bad experiences on the weekend cost these courses money. Probably why the flags looked 10 years old. Cost money to buy new ones.

Exceeded Expectations

After reading previous reviews, I didn't have high hopes. But it was a great deal, so I tried it out.

Conditions were nice. Fairwayss were forgiving, yet some set up some nice challenges. The greens rolled true. I'd consider it a scenic course. The clubhouse was nice, hot dogs delicious, cart girls gracious.

I'll certainly return to Belle River again

Mighty Belle

It was a $10 Hot Deal at 2:28pm. Our twosome finished by 5:00pm.

It's a fun course but you need to play there more than once if you want to score.
