Solid Course

Very solid course, the greens were rolling solid other than just aerating them. Challenging layout, but got to hit solid tee shots. Highly recommend

May 2026 Review

Opted for a last minute mid-week hot deal: $19.99 for 18 and a cart. Upon arrival (after a hour drive from the city), the pro shop staff member informed me only the back 9 was in play due to greens being plugged. It was have been nice to know prior to booking. Mentioned I checked the courses Facebook page earlier in the day and it made no mention of this. My comment prompted a post shortly after. Course was in better shape than my last visit. Greens need some work, cart paths as well (watch out for the pot holes). I also found it interesting that certain holes didn’t have white (regular) tee box markers. It looked as if they just received a new batch of golf carts. Would I play again later this season? Yes, if the price is right. That said, if it’s the same price as Solitude or Marysville, I’m going with either of those options first. One suggestion - run a voucher special with group golfer.

Melisa, in the Pro Shop was AMAZING!

We were visiting Port Huron from Ont., Canada and I had messed up our booking reservation. Melisa, in the Pro Shop, was AMAZING! She calmly and skillfully figured out the mix up, made inquiries to another state with VERY similar Golf Course name, cancelled that reservation and proceeded to make our golf tee time work! The $$ value for the round was great, course was challenging and everyone we met was friendly and helpful! We’ll be back and have told all our golf friends about this course!!

Not worth the price

Been playing here for several years. Today the price for 9 holes was about 34.00/9 holes plus 3% added for debit card usage.

T boxes were not cut. Fairways dry and brown. Greens scorched and brown.

Probably would not golf here again.

If you want challenge, this is a course for you!

Loved the course, very long and challenging. Must have a GPS cause the course does not have yard markers. Would love to play it again when the weather is NOT in the low 40s.

NEED A RANGER

Young couples (FouRsome ) six holes ahead, were holding up the whole course. They actually stood on 14th green talking for over FIVE MINUTES, after their last put. They were finished with the hole and were just talking??? Then it took them another 5 minutes to leave the hole. NEED A RANGER!!!

Terrible experience for a (ex) regular customer

I've lived in Port Huron for years and have always liked the course and being friends there often. I booked a tee time through golf now and later received a text that it rear wasn't available. Golf now re said go to the course and we can still play our tee time but may not finish which was fine, there was literally 8 cars in the lot we would've finished no problem. Pro shop guy blamed golf now, golf now blamed pro shop, I wasted an hour of my day and a friend drove from out of town and the pro shop guy told me golf now said I won't be refunded which is crazy, and he wouldn't let us golf our tee time and said if we wanted to golf 9 we would pay $20 more each to do it. No way, what a scam. Manager couldn't approve a $8 decision so because of the incompetence I will no longer be playing or recommending this course which is a shame. Easily could've made it right but instead he argued with me for literally 30 minutes while other customers waited and watched. Golf now rep was also rude. What a shame.

First Time Playing

Slow pace of play with no signs or tee boxes=thumbs down

Tried this course for the first time this past weekend. The course was backed up and the pace of play was moving at a snails pace. But that wasn’t my biggest problem since i understand courses get backed up. There were no signs for what hole is what. There was no tee box indicating where to hit from. Just a patch of grass. This was our first time playing here and i had no clue where to go. We payed for 18 but left after 8 holes because it took over 2.5 hours to be finished with the 8th hole. So It was a disappointing waste of $40. Staff was nice but I wouldn’t go back. Find a course with actual tee boxes and signs.
