Where is my Ball
Too many leaves on course, cannot find ball, but it is October in the North.
Layout
Great course!! Have to hit all the clubs in the bag.. greens in great shape.
Excellent
Course conditions were excellent, staff was excellent, round was excellent. Had a great time.
Great layout
Fun to play! Have to hit every shot cuts draws. Pace of play was great played with my 3 boys and done in 3:45 on Sunday afternoon.
Go Green
Xcellent for the price and people. Course was well maintained and has multiple options for tees and I’d recommend you go green tees if you’re a 10 to 15 handicap.
Fun Course, great challenge
A fun, challenging course that really rewards you for shot placement. Was in great condition when we visited, very quick greens
Great Shape, Challenging
I have played the course a few times, but have never seen it in better shape. Greens were fast and true, and the rough was thick and penal. A good challenge.
Big Ten course
Played the green tees. Great setup. Challenging course. Big greens with subtle breaks
Good course in general but amazing for the price
The west course is already a beautifully tree-lined course, with relatively skinny fairways. If you can play here for $30-40, then you’re getting a Timber Ridge or Hawk Hallow quality course for $20-30 cheaper. Great blend of looks, value, and difficulty.
Great course with extremely slow play and no marshals.
MSU west
The course is in great shape the greens are big soft and fast. We played in 3hrs40mins. We checked in at the grill window which was fine with us . No contact we loved seeing the pieces of swim noodles in the cup we tip our hats to them for that. This tells us that they care about the safety of their customers. Good job MSU we will be back.
