Pretty course

Nice course, friendly staff, challenging holes require use of all the clubs in your bag. Bring extra golf balls as woods and poison ivy gobble them up. Great gazebo with beer and snacks!

Worst course I have played in years

it was so wet it should not have been open.

no water in any of the ball cleaners

traps were unplayable

all the greens had stones and sticks on them.

I could go on and on. The proshop guy was rude and acted like he was mad someone would interrupt him by paying for golf. Would never recommend anyone to play here.

Enjoyed the course!

My husband and I had a great time playing 18 holes at PawPaw! It was a beautiful fall day, course was in great shape, and the staff was very helpful! We loved the views and variety of the course layout. Loved the par three down to the lake!! We were visiting "up north" from indiana, but we will be back. Thanks, golfnow, for a good price!

Past its prime, pass it by

First impressions- small, musty pro shop, nothing inviting when entering the drive way or parking lot. Friendly, helpful staff. Older gas carts.

No 1 is rather dull looking par 3. The grounds are rough looking for the first few holes.

Wouldn't go out of my way to play again.

Great Local Course

We had a family outing at this course and had a great time. Not too busy and a well-groomed course. Great value for the money in an area that has lots of championship courses at championship prices. This is a throwback to the days when you didn't have to break the bank just to get in a round of golf. Marcus the starter is a great guy. Very friendly and knowledgeable.

Don't judge this course by the first two holes!!

This was my first time out to Paw Paw Lake GC and I didn't really know what to expect. The club house doesn't look like much and the first two holes make you feel like you are playing golf in someone's back yard. But, once you get to hole 3 the feel of the course changes. This course has some beautiful views and well maintained holes. Course layout is kinda funny and you will have to look at your score card to figure out where the next hole is a few times. Overall a pleasant experience and well worth the "hot deal" price we got!!

Cutest little course

My husband and I are fast players and played this course in 3 hours, for women it's a joy because there are a couple of drivable greens, it's a fun and scenic course, we try to play it at least once a year because it's an hour drive. For your money it's worth the trip and a easy course .

The course is unique layout, but good value

the par there's play difficult because they sit long, the course is score able if you manage it safely.

Nothing too special, just ok

For the price, it was a fun day of golf but if you are searching for a nice course, this is probably not it. The bunkers are terrible, zero actual sand and most tee boxes resemble parts of the rough. However, there are some cool holes throughout with views of the lake and two of us were able to play 18 in just about 3 hours so pace was great even for a Sunday morning. I thought the reservation said GPS included but this course does not have that feature on their carts. It's also relatively short from the white tees, lots of par 3's, so if you're set on playing this course but want a challenge, play the blue tees.

Challenging little course

Bring your short game. If you can't chip and don't have a 40-70 yd club in the bag it's gonna be a long day or you'd better hit a lot of irons off the tee. They had people jumping all over the course, starting on the back 9 right in front of us another twosome comes out of nowhere plays part of the 10th hole then jumps to 16. Most greens were in good shape nice little place to play

Enjoyable course

Got a great deal on golf now(hot deals). First two holes pretty straight forward and boring par 3s and after that the course was generally more interesting. The remaining par 3s are challenging. A couple of drivable par 4s were fun (not much longer than some of the par 3s). The stretch of holes near paw paw lake had some nice views...Good times

one of the two carts the GPS did not work. Course conditions mostly average. Compared to other courses in the area they are over priced.

Well Maintained, Challenging Course

Nothing fancy about this course, but it is well maintained, and the small greens, narrow fairways, and topography of the course make it challenging and fun. And if it gets too challenging, there is always the lakeside bar by Hole #7 to take a break.
