Clearbrook Golf Experience

Clearbrook Golf Course is a good value when you can get the "Hot Deal" rate. Everything is mowed well & the greens are in decent condition. Fairways are mowed weeds not grass. The restaurant is 5-star at reasonable prices.

Old golf course feel.

Nice old charm golf course, fairly tight. Nice greens, Would not have played here if not for Golf Now.com. Too pricey for normal green fees, that's where GolfNow.com comes into play. Pro shop person was short with us to say the least, because we used Golfnow.com????

Great old course!

Clearbrook delivered once again. I've played there many times, but not in several years. The staff in the pro-shop, and especially the starter, were incredibly welcoming and friendly. I'm not sure if they are intentionally not mowing the tees as closely as normal or if it was just the day we were there, but that was a bit odd. Otherwise, the greens rolled true, the fairways were in good shape, and the course and club house looked awesome! We'll be back soon!

clearbrook

clearbrook is a great example of an old design that is still playable,fun and can have a challenge without having to be 7300 yards long.mant hills,tight fairways,and nicely groomed greens make an enjoyable round.

Great course with many good features

Four of us (seniors in our early 60's) played the course. This is a great course with many features including ponds, sand traps, trees, woods, etc. Considering it was November in Michigan, this course was in excellent condition. The greens were in great condition considering they have already been cored this year. This course is well maintained. They have cleared out some trees and brush in recent years that help to make it a little more playable than it was a number of years ago.

Nice place

This course is a fun layout. I'm not sure why the previous reviews say how great the conditions are. The greens were really nice, but aside from that , the tee boxes and fairways were sub par. All in all it was well worth the money spent, but not the greatest comditions.

Challenging Yet Enjoyable

The one thing that is a killer is the back to back par 5s. As its stated as the #1 handicap for men, a par 4 447 is crazy.

Overall fun course and well worth the value.

Very, very nice course !!!

They have done a lot to make the course much more "golfer friendly".

However, at 90 plus degrees, it would have been nice to have the bar open and a cart person on the course with refreshments.
