About
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.

a great day of golf
my wife and i are avaid golfer and had a great time , we were also hook up with another couple and had a lot of fun with them thanks we will be back
Great Course Great Shape
Always in top notch shape and staff is above and beyond helpful.
Too many marches
Beautiful course, not lady friendly. Will play again with strategic play.
The large greens were very challenging. There were some blind shots to make. Maybe add some markers to tell how far you have to carry some of the water.
just okay
Course is always too wet for my liking. I've played here several times since it's opening and the fairways are always mushy.

Fantastic course, value, and course conditions
First time playing this beautiful course. Great layout and conditions. Staff was super friendly. I would say this is a must play if you are near Cadillac Michigan. We will be back!!!
Great greens and staff
From the moment I stepped out of the car it was a great experience. The staff greeted me and helped me get on my way quickly with some tips on the course, the greens, and a cold beer. The greens were very nice. They held a line, rolled fast and were smooth but also recertification to shots coming in. Every hole is different and offered forced carries and elevation changes.
Phenomenal Course
The staff was amazing, We ate at the grill before our tee time, they were able to hold our take home food til after we finished our round. The course was in immaculate shape and has breath taking views. A few waves of thunderstorms rolled through, but we were able to chill at the club house until the passed. I would love to come back again :)
Beautiful Layout
A beautiful course for a great value. With the exploding prices Eldorado is the best deal!
Best course in area
Just turned 71, played from the ride tees for the first time and had fun. Course is still challenging and in great shape
Great corse. Greater hospitality.
From the moment of arrival, we felt welcomed and well-hosted by the people who work at El Dorado golf course. The course itself is very good with the greens being VERY good.
Very enjoyable round for all levels and many well-marked tee blocks to choose from.
Quality and value
First time playing. Course in great shape. Quick greens. Really interesting layout, with hazards that make you play different clubs than you might be used to. Very good value. Will definitely bring back guests and play this one again.
Great Course
First time played this was an excellent golf course. Well maintained, friendly staff and somewhat challenging. Definitely will be back here to play!
El dorado
My wife and we’re on vacation in Michigan and we’re looking for some places to play , then we stumbled on to this excellent course. From start to finish this place was great. From the pro to the cart girl we were treated like we were members of a private club. Course conditions were excellent from the tee boxes thru the greens. If this corse were in my neck of the woods, Philly, you could easily charge over a hundred bucks.
Great Experience
From the minute we arrived to the time we left the staff was outstanding. Everyone me met was friendly and helpful. Loved the course. Would recommend to anyone looking for the total golf experience.
Solid Hidden Gem
Course was in great shape, greens were smooth and fast,
PACE: Was the first one out and never say anyone behind me. Enjoyed my morning exploring this course.
CONDITIONS: Tee, fairways, greens, and bunkers all in excellent conditions. Yardage markers seemed a bit sparse... this course is "begging" for a 150 barber pole.
STAFF: Incredible. Very helpful and sociable.
VALUE: At this price point I've played courses with GPS in the carts. If you're not going to do a 150 barber pole, maybe GPS?
LAYOUT: Lots of fun. Very few blind tee shots. Forced carries do occur, but they are manageable. Good use of elevation. Everything is good... except for the 18th hole. As I said when I was leaving: "that hole needs a safe word." Go give it a try.
