Eldorado, located just south of Cadillac, has built a reputation as one of the best golf values in the Great Lakes area. Conveniently situated at the US-131 and M-115 interchange, the course has a scenic northern Michigan setting that is easily accessible. The championship layout sprawls across rolling hills laced with flowering wetland areas. The golf course features elevated tees and generous green complexes with subtle but tricky undulations. Most of the greens are sloped back to front. The opening nine is more forgiving the back. There aren't as many forced carries and you won't be as severely penalized for missing the fairway. Eldorado's final hole is one of the toughest. This par 2 requires a long and accurate tee shot and the approach across a sizeable water hazard leaves little room for error.

Quality Course, Great Service

It was a cool Sunday Morning that didn't see too many out on the course. My Wife and I manage to get 18 in without having to wait on any holes to hit. The GM and staff were extremely nice, attentive, and great with advising us about the course since it was our first time playing there. Course conditions were good and didn't have any trouble navigating around. Would come back and play when we are in the area for sure.

Eldorado

Always one of my favorites. Course is always in great shape and the staff are very helpful. Pat the G.M. is the best and is always a great host. I play every year there and always come away with positive experience. The only thing I don't like is the 1st and last hole as I'm getting too old to carry those hazards!!!! LOL

CLASSIC, Like the Cars

Although misty and cool, the course conditions were in great shape. Greens were quick, but true. Shot one of my best rounds on the front nine. We (my son and I) partnered up with another 2 some to help with pace of play. It was the start of 3 great days of golf!

A fair but good challenge

Having played the course last year I was anxious to play it again. Played it twice shot 91 and 92. I am a 15 handicap played from the white tees. Very enjoyable.

Staff helpful and friendly. Course was in excellent shape.

Fantastic course!

Had a great fall round! The layout made it very fun to play along with it being well maintained. Only disappointment was the amount of leaves on the ground but for being late October, my expectations were met.

A Hidden Gem

We played this course two days in a row, a Friday and Saturday. There are plenty of places to get into trouble, some holes are tree-lined and tight, lots of forced carries over marsh and water. The greens are huge, 150 foot putts are possible. The greens need to be faster to accommodate the size of the greens. A beautiful course, would be spectacular in the fall. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The club house is spectacular and has great food. I would recommend this course to anyone but the lower handicap players would enjoy it more. The last hole is a killer!!! My only complaint is the pace of play, especially on Saturday... need a ranger to help people play from the correct tees for their skill level.

First time but not the last

The course is fun, fair and challenging. The greens are soft and fast, very fast, if you fly it in high it will stick but a punch and run is very challenging, the back nine is narrow and has several hole that you will need to hit the ball at least 150 yards over swamp. Over all very fun day with friends, we'll be back.

Always a pleasure

We have played here several times and it is one of our favorites. Pretty and moderately challenging course that is always in great shape. Staff are great. It helps that we usually play on Hot Deals which are both a good price and less busy times. Love the course.

Mother Day Golf

The Eldorado is one of our favorite courses to play in Michigan. It is a great value especially when GolfNow has it on the Hot Deals. Challenging to play, you need to make sure of you club selection in order to have a good game. To much club and you hit over the green, not enough puts you into the hazards. I should know, did not play my best but had fun.

Great Hour to Spend an Afternoon

On my way back from up north to GR, had a great burger in the grill and then enjoyed a quick 9 holes. Perfect Thursday afternoon teed off at 12:45pm and was back in my car headed to GR by 1:44pm. Played as a single, had my phone on listening to radio and was probably the best hour of the week.
Greens were fast compared to what I played earlier in the week and I was told they are normally faster. You really need to play this course once to find out what the greens do as being above the hole is a certain 3 putt. I had 4 of them thru 9 holes, yikes. Good layout and mix of types of holes. Big fairways and big greens and for a golfer like me, was hard to lose a golf ball out there the way the course is routed. Can't wait to come back and try the back 9 or attack the front 9 and score better.
Don't be afraid to walk, I wish I would have cause it wasn't crazy hilly and greens to tees is very easy walks.
