Curse was great

This course is very nice, when you arrive it is very underwhelming. However when you get out on the course it makes up for it. Then you get out and play and it is great. The tee boxes, fairways and greens are very well maintained. It is challenging but not unfair.

Hidden Gem

If you are up north playing the big names, Arcadia Bluffs, Forest Dunes and the like, treat yourself and your wallet to a hidden Michigan gem. This is a great course in great shape. The golf carts are dated, but able to take you up and down this hill and forest course. The greens are in great shape and are demanding but fair.

A great test of golf for any level.

What a hidden gem! This is one of the most challenging courses I’ve played in a while. Lots of elevated tee shots and elevated greens, lots of rolling Hills. Overall a wonderful experience!

Course in great shape. Reading the greens was more pilot error than the course's fault. Wide open on a Thurs.

Sweet Course

I would play this course every year if the rates were not so high.

Mid week rates are pretty high which kept me from playing this gem more often. Because of golfnow and having special circumstances are both reason why I could afford it this time.

It was a cloudy day but once we waited out the rain, there were no cars other than ours in the lot. If they lower the rates I bet this place would be jammed packed everyday! And if rain is in the forecast, throw a special rate on the internet and people would flock here to play it. Carts are gas and a bit outdated. It is truly a masterpiece hidden gem.

A Great Experience

Only person on the course on a rainy weekday. Staff was great and welcoming. Course is amazing as are the views. From a forward tee it looks very playable for an average golfer. But from the tips, it was a stern and sometimes brutal test for me even as a 2 handicap. A must play!

Just OK, no food amenities to speak of

Arrived at the course hoping to get a sandwich or something to take out for my round. Nothing available except a few snacks, beer and soft drinks.

Course was OK, pace of play was good after our twosome was able to go past a slow foursome that let us play through.

I feel there are better options at the price in the area, with better amenities and friendlier staff.

Great Day

We had never played Dunmaglas. My husband and I got a good deal and thought why not. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful course. We enjoyed it very much. The staff couldn't have been nicer. We will certainly go back again

Second time pkaying

Difficult and hilly layout, course gets minimal play from what I observed. Both days arrived late Saturday morning, 5 or so cars. As a fast twosome, we met noone.

Carts are older and paths are ruff, but the golf challenge is hard to beat.

Outstanding Track

The course layout and and scenic views are outstanding. Challenging but fair; not necessarily long but shotmaking is required. Greens are fantastic but a little slow. Don't expect the off-course amenities that you might find at a $55-75 course (pro shop, dining, gps on carts, etc.) but you'll get a great golf course and fantastic customer service. Enjoyed so much the first day that went back again the next day.

Untapped Potential

I’ve played this course several times and honestly believe It has the potential to be one of the best in the state.... BUT...

It’s simply not maintained nor respected the way a beautiful golf course should be. As such, I would agree with previous reviews: this should be a mid-priced ($50-$60) round of golf.

Staff: Fantastic! Very friendly & knowledgeable

Pro-Shop: Pretty run down with very little selection to choose from.

Carts: Really old. Would have thought these things were “put out to pasture.” No USB. No club cleaner on the side. No sand to repair fairway divots.

Maintenance: Poor. As mentioned above, the lack of fairway repair tools (sand, etc) means it’s more difficult for the golfer to maintain the course. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seems as if their groundskeeper does too much of this work either.

Raw Course: Terrain, views, challenge, etc.... UNBELIEVABLE!

Bottom Line: A true golf lover with a lot of $ needs to buy this course and bring it up to speed.

This course is on a big hill.

Lots of downhill, sidehill and uphill holes. Very scenic. Played weekday afternoon, no one else on course. Greens were in good shape, but kind of slow.

It’s a good value at $60. Not a $100 course in current conditions and amenities.
