Fun Afternoon Golfing

Vacation in SW Michigan. Found on golf now. Nice course with lots of elevation changes.Greens werr smooth not overly fast. Fairways were very firm lots of toll. Traps were well maintained. Rough was long but not terribly ling you could find your ball with a little effort. Would play again if in the area.

Challenging for mid to high handicap players

Challenging with elevation changes and trees with enough water for everything you need. Always enjoyed the course.

Decent Course, but Short

Course was very short except for 3 of the par threes were 200 or more. . Course was laid out all over the place. You had to drive over a 100 yards from green to tee on a few holes. Greens were medium to small. They hadn't mowed that morning so a,little slow but rolled nicely. Not for big hitters.

Short but Sweet

This is a shorter course, but the fairways and greens were in great shape. There is ongoing work that doesn't affect play, but does show a commitment to making it better. The tiki bar in the middle of both the front and back is really nice and has a great view of the lake. The greens are smaller which adds a little to the challenge. We plan on going back soon.

Can’t wait for the finishing touches

They are currently adding a few holes to make up for some land that was sold. Even with all that the grounds crew has done an amazing job making the course look great. You can’t beat the fact that you get to go by the gazebo for a hot dog and some paw paw punches on the 7 and 13 th hole. No driving range some come warmed up. I absolutely love this course!!!!

Great shorter course, wonderful conditioning, interesting layout…not ‘run of the mill’!

Don’t let the short overall yardage make you think this is an Executive type course.

Plenty of challenging holes with elevation changes, water, doglegs and LONG par3’s.

Fairways & greens are in great condition, moderately fast too and most cart paths are newly paved. Couple great views of the lake. Pay attention to the hole routing though as a couple places it’s easy to get lost.

An ‘old fashioned’ layout you need to think your way around…not just blast your driver.

Really upgraded over the last couple years.

We will be back soon to try again, especially now that we know what to expect on some of the holes.

Beautiful Fun Course

This course is great- not too long yet has some challenging holes. It's also really pretty- the fairways and greens are in excellent shape. The owners made improvements since last year: notably, got new golf carts, repaved some of the cart paths and planted new trees.

Revamped

They totally revamped this course and you can see the work going into it. Many changes to holes and new layouts, new golf carts, brand new cart paths. Grass and greens are cut very well, putts were rolling in. Affordable course with good maintenance.

Paw Paw

Played Paw Paw several years ago. My grand kids call me Paw Paw. My wife and I were so excited to play it again. Beautiful fall day with leaves falling on a great course. Fairways were in great shape. Greens rolled fair and true. Very enjoyable round of golf!!

The Special Lake View

We played this course several years ago and really enjoyed it. Finally got to come back. The greens and fairways were in beautiful shape. Several holes required ired smart shot making. Greens putted true and above average speed. Putts missed were my problem. It was cart path only. Very enjoyable round.
