Dunmaglas Golf Course

I paid up for the course thinking it was a nicer course based on the money. I feel like I got taken.

The course was in very, very poor condition. Fairways were not taken care of. Where there was growth, there was a lot clover. Greens were inconsistent and in poor shape. Tee boxes had very little grass on them.

The clubhouse was old and not maintained well.

My advice is not to play.

The course was in good shape. It’s a tough course to play for the first time but plenty challenges for repeat play. Cart paths were paved for the most part. It’s an oval layout so no pro shop stop midround. The “pro shop” is dismal as are most of the amenities. The one staff member was friendly and helpful. We enjoyed playing and would play again. But, it’s overpriced for what you get. Carts are old and no gps. No course maps anywhere. Nice course in its day but it needs to see a new day.

Course was nice and challenging. Lots of holes couldn’t see/know which way to aim as you couldn’t see the flag.

Couple nice views of the lake - however lacking amenities.

Club house left much to be desired. Only small selection of can drinks - nothing from bar. No food available. Very expensive with what was there.

Course didn’t have a turn - didn’t see club house again until round was over. Didn’t matter anyway because there was no food available.

Finally seen a beer cart hole 12, they had a couple sandwiches and chips available.

Wouldn’t recommend or pack your own lunch.

The course layout was interesting and there are a few spots that have some amazing scenic views. The overall condition of the course was poorly maintained. The greens were the best part about the course. The clubhouse and carts are in shambles. Not worth the price or 5 hour+ pace of play.

While we didn't mind the course, this definitely is not a $90+ course. The layout is fine but, from the 'clubhouse' to the maintenance of the course, it's definitely not in great shape.

Bunkers in disrepair, disease throughout multiple greens. I'd say a $35 weekday course is more in line for what you should pay.

The course is visually stunning and had a great layout. The staff was friendly and welcoming. Downside is that the course has maintenance issues. Most bunkers unplayable and tee boxes were poorly mowed and maintained. Some of the greens needed repair also. Fix the maintenance issues and this is an outstanding course

I am just an average golfer- normally shooting around 90 on an average course. Several holes on this course were unreasonably difficult for the average golfer. Lost 4 or 5 balls on the round. But the worst thing about this course was that you do not make the turn near the club house, which in itself is not a problem, but they sell 9 hole rounds that have people jumping from hole #4 to hole #14 IN FRONT of the 18 hole players which stacked up the players at hole 14. Who does that?? Will not be back.

Always wanted to try this course Glad I did had some of the nicest scenery with views of Lake Michigan. Definitely want to try this course it's absolutely beautiful. Could be tough for some players but the views are worth the challenge!!

Not a $100 per round course but still fun. Guess that may be going rate in this area. Look for deals. Got mine for $70. Unique layout.

Dunmaglas did not escape the ice storm. Many trees and branches down at edges of rough. The greens and traps were in pretty bad shape (but some greens were excellent). Course remains one of the most beautiful in No Michigan and it is quite playable though a challenge. Hopefully with more warm weather (it was a very late spring) the branches can be further cleared and greens can recover.

This course is quite an experience. It has the best views I’ve ever seen on a golf course. It is an absolute massive property. What is not golf course is pretty much undeveloped land. You will see two lakes simultaneously from 200 feet above ground level, you will see pastures, you will see what are essentially mountains, It is stunning. On several holes it is almost difficult to focus on golf shots.

But you will need to, because it is one of the most difficult golf courses I’ve ever played. If you are looking for a course that confirms how good you are, don’t play here. Unless you are close to a scratch golfer you are shooting 90+. Every single shot is a challenge. The greens are protected like you would not believe. And, apparently this is the “easy” version, because they took out a lot of hazard areas about 10 years ago.

The conditions are not the greatest, but they are not terrible, and if you are playing it for the experience you really won’t care. The fairways are fine, greens are great except for two spots on two greens that are over shaded and cannot grow..

Owners/workers are really friendly. Carts are fine. Pace was good. It is a 5 hour round but because of how demanding the course is, not because of overcrowding or bad pace. Don’t worry, you won’t want to leave anyway. 5 stars.

Great course with fantastic views and great lay out. Not for soy boys. I live I Florida and come north to play golf June thru October in beautifull northern Michigan. Played the course often 3 years ago and loved it but because of no players the course was having issued. Animals were tearing up the fairways looking for grubs. Did not play it in 2023 figuring it was not in good condition. Forward to 2024 went back to play it and was pleasantly suprised just as beautifull as ever but back to being in good shape. The group who own Manistee CC and others have done a great job. Even the greens were supperb. The layout of this course is easily one of my favorites in Petoskey area at a fair price. Conditions of facilities and golf carts leave alot to be desired but I love this layout. Slow play never a issue
