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.

Challenging course, Great in every aspect from Staff to cart girls to fairways and Greens. I only took a sunrise picture from practice green buy it is definitely worth the price
Great Course
Beautiful layout and perfect condition ... you wont't be disappointed.
Absolutely beautiful
A pure beauty. Sweet course layout, variety of beautiful tee boxes, carpet fairways, and lightning fast greens! Love this course wish it was near home I would golf it once a week
Great course! Great location
This course is great! Greens are huge yet challenging. Clubhouse and food are awesome! I will be booking an outing here in the fall or next year! Thanks and keep up the good work!
Magnificent course!
We take a guys trip up north every summer. We have 12 guys in our party and we've stopped to play Eldorado the past two years. This place is one of the best. The course is always in excellent shape and your staff is UNBELIEVABLY courteous and helpful. Absolutely love everything about your gem of a facility!!!!!

Great course and it is in great condition!
Staff was very professional and friendly.
Definitely worth the money!
Beautiful Eldorado
Course is beautiful! Recent rain made it quite wet and it was cart path only which made it more challenging but still fun to play!
Great Course
I love the layout and the course conditions are always great. Very good value. Most coursed this nice cost much more money.
For the $, it’s the best!
Tons of tee boxes, wide open. Everything’s green. Awesome course.
Great, but no water or ice?
Good afternoon pricing.
This course is in Arizona! Why would the new management remove all of the drinking water coolers, cart coolers and not have ice available. After spending all that money on the pro shop, you can't provide potable ice?!? This is Arizona!
I love that they moved the 10th hole back to where it used to be. Also I appreciate the clean up of the 9th hole.
Price
I live in sand lake and I have a friend that lives in Gaylord. We played your course maybe 10 times last summer 2020. Both of us are retired and find the $65.00 dollar fee a little high. So while we feel we may not be able to play there as much as we like we will still try to get there when we can. Both of us like the course very much.

Was very wet and cart path only. Too much junk to hit over.
