Lake Cora Hills

I love it here. This is my 1st year golfing and I've golfed here 3 times this year.

Course was somewhat hilly but played very well. The greens are undulating and smaller than most courses I have played. Some of the greens need work to repair winter damage. Front nine is short and plays easier than back nine. Water comes into play more on the back nine. A few of the fairways are narrow calling for accurate shot placement. Make sure to pay attention to the course layout on the scorecard. Be careful not to overshoot some of the greens to avoid hazards.

The fairways are ruff on some holes. It's has some very challenging holes.

Late season golf. Par 3 holes were tough pars. Par 5 holes were very interesting especially on the back nine.

Fair to midland course. Short in length. Fairways not distinguished from rough. Up and down. Fair golf course for beginners....not so tough for the low handicapper. It's all about raised tees and greens that make this course more difficult to score on. The greens are small and flat, but slanted. No. 9 is a par three with a tree covering the front of the green, and your approach shot? Very little sand.

Good course. Some greens need work. Staff always friendly. Beer way to expensive!!!!!!!

Course is perfect for recreational golf. Plenty of longer holes with mostly open fairways and challenging shorter holes too. Some blind hills (a bell to ring when you're off the green would be nice). Really nice staff and overall very good playing conditions.

This golf course has been steadily making improvements over about the past 5 years. If you haven't been here in a while, it wouldn't be a bad idea to visit. Lake Cora is always one of the better values on golfnow.com.

Each of 9's have different qualities. The front nine is rather short even from the blue tees..par 35 but the lack of yardage doesn't make it easy, OB is a realistic possibility on 4-5 holes. Very target-oriented and tons of slopes and hills in most of the fairways.

The back nine seems to be about a decade or so newer design-wise. Par 37 with 3 par 5's. The key on this side is to get off the tee box well; markedly longer than the front 9. Hole #13 is probably a "signature hole" it's a medium-length par 5 with water and marsh everywhere, the second shot on this hole is very difficult..it doesn't matter where your tee shot went or whether or not you're going for it/laying-up. Hole 18 is a very tight driving hole and other than that the back nine is pretty much in front of you. The course has nice color and the greens roll nicely at comfortable speeds. Some holes are prone to getting a bit saturated if a ton of rain rolls through. The course staff is always very pleasant and accommodating.

It has just enough long & short holes. Challenging enough for a mere amateur. Had a great time & did okay for the first time out..

Many of the holes involve blind shots to elevated greens or approach shots down to greens below the fairway. It is interesting to play this course since rolling onto an elevated green seldom is successful.

This was a very nice course. Not too long or short but very challenging and a great golfing experience. Had a wide variety of conditions; i.e., water, sand, woods, hills, large & small greens, and blind holes. This course was in very good condition, especially for October. All 4 of us decided we will definitely make the long drive back to this course in the future.

Overall experience ruined by pace of play at course. Waited on every tee shot, every fairway shot. Average course as to conditions. Layout kind of quirky. Cannot recommend.

This beautiful course has many rolling hills and well positioned lakes to make it a challenge at 6000 yards. Blind shots add to the encounters you will have as you enjoy your surroundings. Greens are in excellent shape and soft. A really fun course.

The course was just fine. Very playable meaning you could score well being only a decent golfer like myself. Pace of play was fantastic as well as the courtesy of the staff. Overall a very enjoyable afternoon.

I wasn't expecting much for such a low price, but was pleasantly surprised. The course has a lot of interesting topography with many characteristics of some of the finer northern Michigan courses. I shot the best front nine in many years even though it was a bit challenging. I'll definitely be back!

No one in my group had played the course. Unique start with a par 3, followed by two par 5's. We all felt the couse was in good shape, especially the greens. It is a fun course with a few challenging holes that required proper club selection and strategy.

Course was in great condition holes were in some real tough spots.
