Enjoyable course
I normally walk but using a cart was ideal for playing 18 holes on this beautifully maintained and manicured course. Friendly and helpful staff. Cart had all the amenities. A fun, challenging and picturesque course!
Course Is Slipping
I used to love to play this track. It has excellent green complexes, great views, and overall is very playable layout. However, the course is not nearly as well maintained as it was a few years ago. The greens fees reflect a course which should be in better condition. The staff were very nice but the 19th hole was only so-so. I can't recommend playing here unless you find a good discounted greens fee.
Beautiful Layout
I’ve played this course a couple of times. The layout is challenging and interesting. A true Arnold Palmer classic. Greens rolled true and fast. Love playing golf in northern Michigan.
Everything is top notch and then we use the disgusting portable toilet. Why do nice courses think that is ok??
Awesome course!
My wife and I live in Minnesota and were visiting Michigan on a long weekend vacation. I’m originally from the Santa Cruz, CA area so I’ve been able to golf some pretty nice courses in the Monterey/Pebble Beach area. This courses was probably in the top 20 of courses we’ve ever played. Really enjoyed the experience. Great staff, beautiful course conditions. Would absolutely come back and golf here again!
This course is challenging
Course is challenging and well maintained. Staff is friendly and pace of play is monitored by rangers. I caught up to the group ahead of me and the ranger was right there to make sure they were maintaining a reasonable pace of play. I’ve played this course a couple times and really enjoyed it.
Nice
Nice course with great layout . Par 3s are perfect, very scenic but not over long
Great course
Ranger running the carts was a bit crabby but everyone else we dealt with were great.
Sunday golf couldn’t get any better!
Course is in good shape as the weather cooperates for the time carved out for 18 holes. Sunday golf! It’s a short season with plenty of choices so this course was on deck. It certainly did not disappoint!! Staff is kind and respectful. Great food and amenities await the eager golfer. Challenging holes and views that are stunning! Give this one a consideration as it has for many years treated all golfers with the best experiences.
Okay and overpriced
course is fine but nothing special and not worth making it a destination. Pace of play was horrible. Backed up 3 groups on several tee boxes. Not a single ranger in sight to help move things along.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the pace of play during your visit. We appreciate your feedback and will work to improve this aspect of our course.
Great Course for Relaxing Round
We thoroughly enjoyed this course. Very interesting layout and course was in great condition. Read another review from a week earlier and can’t believe that person played the same course. Very peaceful setting winding through the rolling hills with tree-lined fairways. The course is quite playable, without too many punishing holes. It’s about 1/2 hour outside Traverse City and well worth the trip.

Course was great, but the conditions could have been better.
Overpriced and Disappointed
Played this golf course on July 10, 2023 based on reviews I had read. What are these people talking about? The golf course is in horrible condition. Tees, fairways and greens are burned out and many tees not even open. There is no driving range and even the putting green is roached.
Pace of play was fine, but only because there weren’t many people there. The design is ok but many tricked up tee shots that require an iron, taking driver out of your hands.
Charging people $89 to play Manitou Passage is a rip-off. I wouldn’t play it again for 1/2 of that.
We apologize for the negative experience you had at our golf course. We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration to improve the conditions. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
