Poor Management

3 groups backed up at the first tee box.

Tee'd off 20-25mins after our booked tee time

Starter says it's not his job or fault it's backed up so much (Who's job is it?)

Starter follows us up the first hole, commenting on our shots and questioning club selection.

No beer/alcohol, all other food and drink items are way overpriced

The course itself is in fantastic shape and the layout is really fun to play. No complaints about the golf side of things.

Never again....

Sad to find this once gem of Macomb county has been spoiled by mis-management.

Our group arrived early on a weather-perfect Sunday morning. First clue of bad things to come: an in-our-face sign at the check-in counter --"NO RAINCHECKS FOR ANY REASON" Ok fine, nice way to greet patrons.

Second clue: range balls-- $7 for 20 or so beat-up, cut, worn smooth, crappy range balls. Ok, not that big a deal. Now we get to #1--the starter was very pleasant, jovial, and friendly. He is a keeper for sure.

We finished the front nine in two hours. The turn was a different story. The backup at #10 was crazy. We spent another two hours on holes 10-14. My guess is that they packed the back nine without concern for groups making the turn. Of course, no rangers to be seen anywhere. We left after 14, with no desire to return.

Good condition Challenging course

The boys and I went out on a Sunday after church and had a blast!!!

We started off with some bogeys since the course is challenging but either way it made for a good time.

The greens are the most challenging but are in good condition.

Will definitely be back.

OK I guess

I felt like I was playing in the middle of a subdivision, most fairways head houses on either side and I get to one hole you had to drive through someone’s front yard practically

Very nice course I had not played there in several years so it was nice to get out there and play again. There are lots of sand traps throughout the course especially around the holes so your approach shots are very vital that they are accurate.

Great course

Some of the purest greens in the area. Course is tough but you can still score. Probably one of the better deals in the area.

Went Down Hill

I've played here before and it was always nicely maintained and lively. This time we went on a packed Saturday afternoon and it was a shell of the course it used to be.

The sign is dilapidated first off. Bag boys were just hanging out on their phones sitting in carts. No help offered before or after the round. No liquor license and the kitchen was closed. Last time I played here they had the BBQ going and food available and ready on the turn. Now, a convenience store hot dog turner and bags of chips. 5 dollar dogs and 3.50 single serving bags of chips.

The ranger we talked to was nice but the golf pro inside was less then enthused to be there. Signs everywhere stating that there are no rainchecks LOL. Like golfers want to see that posted everywhere. Even the ranger said that the policy was driving business away and that golfers were mad about that.

Tee boxes were all tore up and the greens were the same. Bunkers horrible, haven't been maintained all season it seems.

Just a shell of a course it used to be. Not sure if it's new owners or what, but they need to make a big change and fast. If I were a house owner around the course I'd be mad.

Take your money somewhere else.

I haven't had the pleasure of golfing here for a few years and the course is in the great shape that I remember.

The greens ran true, but lightning fast.

Weds morning round

We had a 2 some booked for 1034. Showed up early and got to the tee box on time. Caught the 4 some in front of us immediately. Asked to play through after 4-5 holes. 2 holes later we catch the next group. The round finished at 6 hrs.

We stopped for a snack at the turn. There is limited options. Self serve hot dogs. NO ALCOHOL. Cold Gatorade. I grabbed a pack of donuts and a small Gatorade and was charged $8!

The 1 person working the staff was rude and seemed troubled by the couple questions I had. Told me to ask golf now for the answers.

The course is in ok shape. It’s challenging. Not as challenging as dealing with the staff and ownership. There is no chance I would pay to play here again.

Meh

Seems like it would be a good track, but management is letting Blackheath and Glacier Club just wither out. No off-course amenities, employees who do not want to be there, and prices for food that is commiserate with much finer courses. Good to pass on this one.
