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.

Great Golfing Experience

I really liked the classic car theme of the club area. This was a very nice course to play and the pull up hot dog stand was a nice touch. We will be back for sure!

Consistently great

The best course in the area. Good value for the money. The staff is great from the moment you are met with a cart in the parking lot through check in, an outdoor grille for lunch at the turn, and the beverage cart on the course. Fairways and greens have always been in excellent condition. Always my first stop when in the Cadillac area.
