Golf in March... in Michigan!

It’s impossible to give a bad review after playing a pleasant nine holes in the first half of March. Considering the snow has just recently melted, the course is in great shape. A lot of people had the same idea as my group, so it was on the busy side, but staff was very friendly and place of play was good.

Good Value

Decided to play this course since it was open the first week of March. For the money it was a very enjoyable round. Good conditions for early spring. Not overly difficult but challenging with the wind.

The geese have taken over

My wife and I had an early tea time. We started off behind one threesome and kept up with them quite easily. Some of the holes were badly soiled by goose poop and I can't help but think that the poop could be collected and used as fertilizer in some of the tea boxes that are quite worn out. All in all we completed 18 in four and a half hours walking. The next time we are in the area will try the other municipal course in Troy.

Fun time

Me and my buddies golf 9 holes ones a week during the week. We bounce from a few course but you can’t beat Sylvan at all. It’s a nice course and kept up well. Even being the fall the course is still playing well and nice. The leaves are cleaned up well also. Would recommend and play again. Also you can’t beat $20 for a cart and 9 holes during the week.

Very slow

It was very well maintained the only problems were they only had one set of tees out, the tee boxes need some time to heal, and they need to stop having so many tee times. The majority of the time is spent waiting on one sometimes two groups to hit before you can continue

Tee Boxes need work

The only thing I had an issue was the tee boxes were a lot tore up and needed some work or needed to be moved so those areas could be worked on.
