Mark the holes!

Played the course after a heavy rain which meant cart path only, the course has some interesting holes and the greens are in decent shape BUT the course is very poorly marked and my golf Garmin could not figure out the changed holes.

As a result I could not gauge the holes adequately and my score suffered.

It is an old course with a good group of mature trees and views of the lake - just mark the holes!

Paw Paw Lake Golf Course

This is an interesting course in southwest michigan.
I spend some weekends in the south end of South Haven and this course is 20 mins away. It has some fairly straightforward holes but also has a several very interesting holes with significant elevation changes. There is a par 3 downhill to a small green with water to the left. Not an easy par. Another par 3 is straight up a hill and that
one isn't an easy par. Several striking views from elevated tee boxes looking across to Paw Paw lake. You'll see a variety of birds and other wildlife. Worth a try if your in the area.

Chalenging short holes

This is an older course that has been maintained very well. Has water, elevated green and tee boxes some narrow fairways, not a long course. You can be rewarded with good shots but if not played well can cost you strokes. The staff was really friendly and the food was good.

Have u ever putted on sand

the course was nice short but nice until u get to the greens. golfnow should of had something to tell u that every green was covered thick with sand. the staff/maintenance was friendly. The only other problem was that the next holes were difficult to find and had no yardages on the par 3's on the tee boxes. Definitely wont be coming back

fun course. great location.

had a fun round of golf. could have done without the six-some in front of us chatting with the ranger on the green. standing on the tee box, waiting for six guys to putt out while the next group is standing behind you is less than pleasant. thats how the last 6 holes went.

a fun course.

We enjoyed the course, hadn't played it in 10 years. Only issue, they charged the full $140. I thought they were to charge the difference between the $140 and the amount you charged to my card. The worker at the course said no that it was your fee for the service.
What is the correct answer.

For the price well worth it

The fairways have improved on this course and the greens are in good shape. Both open on some holes and very narrow on others. Offers a variety of hole type and greens.

This course was a lot of fun to play.

The course had very diverse holes that were challenging to play. The round was very enjoyable for both myself and my golf partner.

Nice short track with excellent staf

We played on a nice Friday afternoon. This is a fun short course to play. Not short enough to be called an executive course, but also not long enough to be called a championship course. The course is located between two old farming towns on a small piece of property that borders paw paw lake. The course was well maintained and the greens are small and fairly flat. If you have good control of your irons there are many birdie opportunities. On the front there are back to back par 5's the first was less than 400 yards the second was only 450 yards.

When we arrived we were warmly greeted by whom I assume was one of the owners. This is a small family owned business that was run with pride.

We took advantage of a hot-deal pricing and it was well worth the price we paid.

The day we played it was a weekday and we got around in about 2 1/2 hours as we did not have to wait for anyone all day.

If you get a chance you should check this out, we had a nice time.

good course, a little overpriced

This is a decent course, don't play it often even though I am 5 minutes away and it is more expensive than other, nicer, courses in the area. Worth the price I paid for it through golf now, but if not using golf now it is not worth it.

Paw Paw Lake is a Cool Challenge

This is an old time shot makers' course with a wide variety of shots required. It has a quaint charm, and is challenging from the blue tees that we played.

The greens are small, sloped, and well-kept. The conditioning on the rest of the course is less than pristine, but better than most classic public courses.

Don't be too disappointed with the starting holes. They are not easy, but do not do justice to the rest of the course.

I would highly recommend this course for a fun outing on the type of course that modern golfers too rarely get to enjoy.

The course is well maintained

This is a fun course I don't think it is worth the full price due to the fact that I can play on a championship course for about the same money. It is a short course good for building confidence in your game. They have a nice gazebo on PawPaw Lake with good dogs and drinks. Fun place to play.

Nice Course

Not the toughest course around, however the small greens make this shorter course challenging. Course was very wet when we played, but was well maintained.

Challenging difficult to navigate hole to hole

its a par 70 course, very challenging but also hard to navigate if you have never been there, but early in season, maybe they will be putting out hole and tee box locations soon, challenging with the layout, not all that wide a hilly course, i had fun
