Lake Doster Golf Club

Beautiful course. No food available was the only negative.

I really enjoyed playing the course. It's layout is a great challenge. The greens seemed a little rough some spotting. The back 9 looked like it had just been aerated.

We headed north trying to beat the rain. We played in the middle of the week. The club house was very nice. We were met by the owner/club pro who was very friendly and helpful. The course was in excellent shape. There were holes that required some fun shot making. Enjoyed putting on the greens. They were in great shape! Would enjoy playing again!

greens were being airraded,the fairway were in rough shape. the course is a fun course to play.

1st time playing this course, but will likely return. Rolling hills, challenging greens; well-kept.

I play all over this golf course wonderland we live in and I feel very justified in saying that this is worst golf course I have ever played. Extremely poor conditions. Yes we had a dry, hot summer but I never saw a course in the shape this was in. All the pin placements were in the middle of the worst areas of the greens and appeared as if they had been there for quite some time. The greens were very good sized with lots of better areas for the pins. Poorly laid out. I have never stood on so many T-Boxes and wondered what they were thinking when they did this. The back 9 is slightly nicer and more playable and actually has a couple nice holes albeit still bad greens with bad pin placements. I waited a couple days to write this thinking maybe it really wasn't all that bad but after playing Heritage Glen the very next day it seemed even worse. Now that is what a golf course should look and play like. Would rate it worse than poor if I could

always enjoy playing this course

Course is in fantastic condition right now!

The course was nice. The pace of play was way too slow.

I liked the course layout and the greens were in pretty good shape. I also liked the fact that its out in the country with a quiet, peaceful atmosphere away from the city's noise. I will be going again.

The staff has always been friendly but when a car stopped by us in the parking lot and the driver thanked us for coming and playing on a hot day it was obvious it starts at the top. It is so nice to be told they appreciate our business. I guess that is why we travel to their course to play. We have played there before and will again. The course is in great condition and is an excellant value. Hope to play again soon!

I enjoy this course. The proximity to Kalamazoo is convenient. There is an "up north" feel to this course. The many elevated tees as well as the sweeping fairways into larger greens makes this course feel and play like some of the nicer courses in Northern Michigan. I will play this course again soon and would recommend it to anyone.

I've played this course dozens of times, heck, I live within two miles of the course. This course is so slow it took a threesome over 4.5 hours to play 18 with carts on a Monday teeing off at 1100. I've also bought all day all you can play passes, it was so busy I got in 27 in 5.5 hours and had to give up. No matter what they do the members and the players that play there slow things down. It's terrible. If you are going there plan on 2:30 per 9 and drunk people everywhere.

The course was in great shape, friendly staff. Will definitely play again!

This course has an interesting design. I agree with past reviews that say the course would benefit from some tree removal or trimming. Otherwise the conditioning was prety good.

Used Golf Now and received an excellent rate for golf and cart for 18 holes. Paid online when the reservation was made.
Arrived at the golf course, (Lake Doster, Kalamazoo, mi.) and informed them that we had paid online via Golf Now.com.. They seemed like they could care less, put us off on the back nine, they had an outing on the front. We completed our front nine only to see two foursomes of ladies and a 2 some some outing on the front nine.
They could care less, no "sorry", no nothing.
Nice place...sic.
Course isn't that bad, other players where very friendly. Just expect to be dissed if they know you saved money via Golf Now.

I have played this course on and off since the early 1980's. Quality dropped a few years ago, but the course has really improved the last couple of year and is in tip top shape again. The greens have always been the highlight. They are large, ungulating and very true.
The last four holes make for a very tough finish. Glad to see the course back to original form.

I've played this course off and on for the last 15 years. The course is never in perfectly manicured condition, however the price is always right. The layout is interesting having the feel of an "up North" course . There are elevation changes, woods, wetlands and water hazards.. Over the years the trees have begun to overgrow some of the fairways and make a couple of the holes sort of unfair. The greens have a lot of pitch to them and make putting quite a challenge. The only saving grace is that they are not particularly fast. I always enjoy playing Lake Doster. But just not too often.

Played on my way to staying at the Yarrow Golf Resort. Weather was difficult with wind and some rain but the course was in good shape and we breezed through the round in about three hours and 15 minutes. I played it once before which helped. I recommend the course.

The layout of the coarse is nice and somewhat challenging but the condition is pretty chopped up! The tee boxes were hard as a brick yet the greens were soaking wet? A lot of in-coarse OB and hazard areas.
