Olde Mill Golf Club in Schoolcraft opened in 1958. The traditional layout is the perfect example of classic Midwestern golf. The layout winds along Flowerfield Creek, which comes into play throughout. The front nine has six water holes and there are two more on the back, but water isn't the only challenge you'll run into. The challenging golf course can feel much longer than the 6,180-yard length that's listed on the scorecard. The front nine is more open, but also subject to the wind, and the back nine gets much tighter with most of the holes framed by dense woodlands. There are numerous sand traps strategically placed throughout. In addition to the golf course, Olde Mill also has a driving range and practice green available that are great for warming up.

Slightly above average play, nice clubhouse

First time at Olde Mill. Very friendly and helpful staff. The course is in very good shape. The par 4s are not generic like at some courses. A few of the holes have blind greens or landing areas, which i personally enjoy. Ball position, not length is key. Water feels integrated into the course, not contrived. The greens hold well in general and have a mix of obvious undulations and subtle teasers.
Overall, will play again and can recommend.

Great value.

This is a great value. The course is moderate difficulty and the pace of play is good. Some course repair but nothing significant enough to negatively impact your round.

Friendly course, enough challenge

Decent course, it's too bad the cattails have taken over the two most picturesque holes. Seeing the water adds a wow factor.

Good value for little money

Overall course conditions were good. Greens were nice, fairways and tee boxes were ok. Course length is short but fairways are tree-lined and tight in places. Not a ball eating course however, you can find your ball even if you hit it crooked. Nothing special but solid value for the money.

Last resort course

I was home in leave so I took my mom golfing. We ended up leaving after 9 holes because of the condition and the pace of play. It took us 3 1/2 hours to play 9 holes.

Pleasantly Surprised

I hadn't been to this golf course in a few years because it was a bit of a hike for a pretty average course. Fast forward to mid-season 2014 and WOW!! Completely revamped look to the clubhouse/pro-shop area, and the stuffy bar has been turned into a spacious restaurant. The golf course has seen a ton of improvements also. There is so much color out on the course where it used to be baked out, the greens are about as good as you'll see in the area. If you're like me and haven't been here in a while..go.

Fun, Easy to Score, but kind of a free for all

The fairways haven't been mowed in a while, but the greens were in descent shape. I was hoping to play a quick round as a single golfer with my girlfriend riding along, but we ran into two groups of six golfers going into the last 4 holes. This kind of ruined the day for us as they didn't let us pass because it took us over an hour to finish up the round from there. Other than that everyone let us play through and we had a very enjoyable round. For 11 bucks you can't complain.

Olde Mill

Course is in good shape. An absolute necessity is a GPS (left at home). No fairway markers. 150 bushes are worthless. Lost several shots to missed yardage
Carts had club cleaners that were disabled. Back nine is a little more open. Good course for shorter hitters

Good course, new ownership making is making the course much nicer. The back 9 is easier than the front 9. Stay left and long on hole 5.

Very promising future!

Despite the new owner's commitment to completely renovate this older gem, the course still holds its own when it comes to playability. EVERYTHING is currently being renovated... and they're doing a bang-up job everywhere on the course. If you haven't been here in the last two years you'll be quite surprised. The new owner seems to be completely serious about bringing this old girl back to her former glory and then some!. Currently, the clubhouse is only open for green fees and a few accessory items. No food, no drink, pay fees and use bathroom... that's it. We played under windy, rainy conditions on the front, the back was only slightly more hospitable. The course held it's own and despite the weather played flawlessly... no problems with standing water. Greens were not slow but not fast either... considering all the rain we had they rolled very true! Had a great time, and, as usual, the staff was great and cheerful (even on a gloomy day!). We'll be going back soon and can't wait to see the finished product! Very promising, indeed!! A salute to the new owner for not cutting corners and taking this course to a new level...! Thanks1

Olde Mill was a nice course.

Grounds had taken a beating from the extra long winter, but conditions were better than expected. Nice greens. I got a deal on Golf Now.com so my price was very inexpensive. Regular rate not bad though. Clubhouse under construction when I went on 05-07-2014, so no beer available. Call ahead to see if you should bring your own. No food or beverage available so couldn't give a rating for that.
