WestWynd Golf Course

Just wanted to start by saying this was my first time playing here, and it was a very challenging course that looked really great most holes. Few holes had areas that may have been flooded a month back or so after all the crazy rain and they could be cleaned up a bit. One par 3 had the weirdest bunker I've ever seen literally on the green. Looked like they'd been cutting pieces of the sod away.

Our problem: pace and staff. It took us 5 and a half hours to play 18 today. We were behind a very slow foursome from hole 3 onwards. Ranger comes up to my group (we had a feeling why he came to us specifically but since it is speculation I will leave it out of the review) on 17 and insinuates we need to hurry up as we are coming off the green. We get to the tee on 18, and immediately are waiting on the same foursome. Ranger didn't come with us to make sure we picked up the pace naturally. So after waiting for the dudes ahead of us, we finish the hole and the ranger is back talking about how our pace is slowing everyone down. Simply wouldn't just move on, and then when we griped about him giving us crap when we were waiting he asked what should be done since the group ahead of us was done already. Nothing should be done, but maybe come out 2 hours earlier and do your job. We didn't want to complain, but you came to us.

No clubhouse access until hole 17, and the cart girl didn't start until 2 hours into the round. Guy in the pro shop seemed like he would rather be anywhere else. Don't get the dry rub on the wings. Enjoy the course if you can find it on discount and go early, but then just get out of there when you are done.

I'll start by saying that this is a beautiful course. Some holes were challenging but the layout of the whole course was well constructed and maintained very well.

My friends and I (group of 8) started a monthly golf outing and chose WestWynd for a Saturday morning tee off. On the front 9 we were stalked by a Ranger for two holes, which seemed excessive and unnecessary so his presence was distracting. I understand that Rangers are there for a reason and I'm a firm believer that all courses need them. However, having someone following us around like we're doing something wrong and giving us looks was concerning.

By the time we were done with the second hole, he told us that we needed to wait for the peanut gallery ahead of us. The group ahead of us was a part of our group. For him to call our friends cheap and slow was insulting. He should have driven ahead to see that our other group was waiting for a group of two golfers who were taking more time than a group of four. We understand that courses have tee time reservations to follow and we do our best to keep up the pace as we try to enjoy ourselves and wait patiently for the group(s) ahead of us.

Our group ahead of us later said that the same man found a golf ball in the woods and threw it at them while they're trying to play just to tell them that "he found their lost ball". He didn't hand it over or even wait for them to finish. He threw a golf ball at them without even grabbing their attention and it wasn't even a ball they used. The color of the ball should have been a tell tale sign.

We didn't go to play this beautiful course for $60 just to be insulted. For a Ranger to treat us differently just comes to show that he was merely judging us as children rather than treating us as adults who have shown nothing but respect and golf etiquette. I have visited many golf courses and never experienced this hospitality. And after informing the manager on this matter all he could say was, "I'm sorry you had a bad experience".

There are many courses we can play and most are a further commute but WestWynd is a course that we'll never return to again...

Course generally was in good shape. But was disappointed because some of the Marsh area was cleared out on some of the holes from previous years (ie hole 4) to make play easier i suppose. Also it seems some of the greens are not being maintained properly as hole number 4 has lost a sizable chunk off the back of the green that is now i guess fringe.

Top 5 layout in Southeast MI. Everything about the property is beautiful from the clubhouse, greens, and bunkers. The bunkers were actual shaped and deep, not just pits filled with sand. I will say it is the most difficult public course in Southeast MI.

First class experience the entire way. I was walking up to 18 green and someone asked if I wanted my clubs cleaned. Do yourself a favor and book the tee time now!

Absolutely blown away!! C

Course was in perfect condition right down to the sand traps. Could not have asked for a better experience all the way around. Absolute must play in Southeast Michigan

Course in pretty good shape. Greens still recovering from aeration.

First time here. Great condition, even with aeration on the greens. Snack shack is closed at 11 but the toilet seats were heated! Lol.

In a week the trees will be in full color. Recommended

Autumn IPA by Arbor Brewery Co was rather expensive at 38 a pitcher, but was very good.

Didn’t get a chance to play this course. I booked my tee time on golf now 3 days in advance. They apparently had a tournament set up during my tee time so they called me 3 hours before my tee time to cancel it. What a joke

Very nice course, challenging and always well-kept. It’s a little pricey for me to play it regularly (particularly in peak season), but it’s worth the money every now and then. Greens are tough but read truly, and the hazards keep you honest. Never tried playing from the tips, but I would imagine it could be an absolute beast from there! Definitely recommended.

Absolutely beautiful! Challenging but fun!! Love this track

For 55 bucks during the week, the course was in pretty bad shape. Roughs needed to be mowed, one green was saturated in water as the grounds crew was watering a green at 2pm on a Friday. The value wasn’t there overall.

Westwynd is a beautiful course that’s well taken maintained. The greens are great, and the fairways and in good condition. The staff was not the friendliest, but once out on the course they’re easy to forget about

Our first time (my wife and I). Course in great condition. Nice/fair balance of difficult holes with a few breathers sprinkled in. As others have suggested, the first time you play here, it can be easy to hit where one shouldn't. Saving grace is that some of the forced-carry areas were cut for maintenance so got away with a couple of shots that might otherwise have been OB.

For a senior, the yardage difference between white and green tees is a bit wide--white total yardage is a bit too long; green a bit too short. (I played a mix of tees to get it closer to that 6000-6100 ideal).. As other courses have done, a combined white/green setup might be nice.

Staff was friendly enough, but except for check-in didn't really use their services/amenities.

Senior weekday pricing is attractive given the quality of the course.

And, have to say, riding on cobblestone cart paths was a surprising joy :)

haeavy raining in’s Westwynd yesterday. So I can’t play just 7holes but course maneger told us stop play for maintain. But they don’t give me rain check. So I and my wife just go back to my house. Where is my green fees?

If you are trying to test your game, i would recommend playing from the tips at this course. Great lay out, and great shape.
