Soooooooooo slow! The 4some in front of us were brand new golfers who should have been told by a ranger to play a scramble format. Never once saw a ranger anywhere. Over 5 hours later and we couldn’t even play the 18th hole because we had to leave. Tee boxes are not marked. Great wildlife though!

First time

We had an experienced player who helped immencely with routing, direction to hit off tee, and awareness of hazards ahead that could not e seen from where shot was being taken.

Staff was very friendly, course was packed, with no open slots, so pace was slow. Took 4:45 to play, as front took 2:35, back went quicker in a little over 2 hours. when weather stays good, and groundskeeers can get out it looks like a very pretty layout and surroundings.

American Sportsman

The course was playable for being in February in Michigan.

TeeTimes.com charged for 18 with cart. The course allowed only walking because of damp grounds. Very disappointed. Not sure if I will use this website again.

Nice Course

This was a really nice course and the pricing wasn't bad. However, it had rained heavily the past 2 days. When we booked it said golf carts available and then when we got there they had told us they were pull carts only and we had to walk all 18.

There were a group of gentleman in front of us holding up not only us but 3 teams of golfers behind us. It was extremely frustrating, but not the fault of the golf course.

The little staff we dealt with was very friendly. We had to buy all of our alcohol before and at the turn as there were no cart girls that day.

Overall for a rainy experience it wasn't horrible, I just wish that the "no carts" was updated.

Muni, worth the Visit

This is an excellent muni, golf course, old-school, and certainly well-maintained, but being public you can be sure to have a slew of different player types. Well worth a visit.

Fun but a little slow

The course is in reasonably good condition, although some of the tee boxes need divot repair. Sufficient variety and challenge make the course enjoyable. Be prepared for unusual layouts, like two consecutive par threes on each nine.

We had dinner after our round at the restaurant, but it seems that the quality is not up to par, pun intended. We suggest that they tighten up and restore the quality we had come to expect.
