Pace of play!

After 4 1/2 hours on the course, we headed in after 13 holes. The rest of the course was packed, no one group holding it up. Tee times need to be spread out or better ranger management. Waiting 10 min or mire at every tee and fairway is unacceptable.

Great Choice for the Area

Played here a dozen times as it’s usually one of the better values in terms of course versus prices available and tee times open.

I didn’t realize that when I got a hot deal through GolfNow the course doesn’t get the money, or so I was told when checking in. Not my fault the normal rates were $12 higher than what I got my round for. Either way not a great savings but still something.

Course wasn’t in the greatest shape. Tee boxes were a bit chewed up, as were some of the fairways and even greens. Expect more for $113+ per person. They’re also building A LOT of homes and properties around the course. Not a ton in the line of fire but still too close for the price. I’m looking for a course that gets me OUT of the city not bringing the city to the course. It’s becoming very populated and with only one 18 hoe course to support it, it could become very saturated very quickly.

In the other hand, the staff was very cool and food was good after our round. Had the Italian hoagie and that was solid. Prices for food were acceptable.

Great course

The course received 3" rain two nights before so it hadn't completely dried out but the traps, greens, fairways were in great condition. Occasional standing water but 3" rain will drench any course.

A fun easy course, forgiving, but not boring.

Wonderful and challenging course

On a weeks long golfing trip around Michigan, after playing round after round on resort courses , I wanted to find a local course that’s populist with those who live in the area . Found Charlevoix Country Club hot deal for $60 , and with some reward points played for $30!

Was pleasantly surprised . Played back tees at ~6500 yds. Some holes are rather uneventful, but some are real challenging . Several 200+ par threes with forced carries. Lots of smallish greens that demand precision guarded by woods, ponds , marshes. The last four holes are as tough a stretch as you’ll find anywhere , starting with 585 yard par five. 18th hole is a fantastic par 4 ( at least 420 yards into the wind ). I think it was one of my favorite par 4s anywhere I’ve played in Michigan and I was delighted with a bogey!

From more forward tees most golfers will find CCC to be quite accommodating with enough challenges to make it memorable. Staff was wonderful, pleasant pub .

Highest recommendation!

Great Course Ruined by Staff Attitude

We had a 6:50 AM tee time. The night before, we were told a range token would be left out so we could warm up and start on time. They forgot, so we arrived at 6:00 AM for nothing. While we were at the range ball dispenser looking for the token, a groundskeeper on a lawnmower drove by and made an exaggerated tongue-blowing gesture, like a mocking raspberry, as if to taunt us —an unprofessional and bizarre start to the morning. Then came the pro shop. The staff showed up late, and the shop didn’t open until 10–15 minutes after our tee time. When the attendant finally arrived, he dead-bolted the door, stayed inside for another 15 minutes, and then barked at us when we asked to pay and start—something we should have been able to do 20 minutes earlier. Paying $230 for a twosome to be treated like garbage is absurd. If you can’t open on time, don’t sell the tee time. What’s the point of a “nice” course when the staff is rude and unprofessional? The attempt to polish our clubs at the end was almost laughable given the disrespect at the start. If I ever play here again, it won’t be in the morning—but truthfully, I’ll do my best to avoid it altogether and play some place that values my business.

Very RUDE staff member

Very RUDE pro shop employee ( Mark). I’ve been playing golf for over 50 years and have NEVER seen such an UNPROFESSIONAL worker as he was. They were having an outing that day and the play was very slow. This put the afternoon tee times back by at least 30 to 45 minutes and the afternoon customers were not happy about it. Just because MARK wasn’t having a good day doesn’t mean he needs to be VERY UNPROFESSIONAL towards the customers. MARK should not hold any position which deals with customers, he makes the whole golf course look bad!!! The greens were just aerated which made them very poor to putt on. Tha course was in average condition. The pace of play was very good because the players wanted to get their round in before dark. I would not recommend this course to anyone until they make employee changes.

Nice day on a nice course.

Overall good conditions for Mid-October. Greens had been punched ten days prior. Hard to hold and a little slow but rolling decent. About half the pins were in evil positions, maybe somebody was in a bad mood when they set them
