Eagle Crest Golf Club

I was in town for an event. I found this looking at the area and was very happy with the decision. Beautiful course and condition was great. 4:15 round. I would honestly put in in my top 10.

Pace of play was bad but can't expect much over weekend

Course never disappoints. Numerous options for different tee configurations. Great amenities. Challenging course layout. Greens were in fantastic shape. The scenic views along the lake are an added bonus. Would highly recommend.

Normally well kept but the greens were beat up. Pace of play was horrible; no starter keeping people on time.

I enjoy golfing at Eagle Crest - this is the first course I ever played - my concern is that at the end of the day pairing my wife and I with two players that were riding was not a good decision especially when I saw twosome on the course. It was 6:30 pm.

Please consider case by case scenarios when it is this late in the day.

Thanks

I found the course to be in good condition. However, the rough was a bit long and we lost balls that should be easily found. Taking strokes for no reason isn’t fun.

I didn’t find the layout to make much sense due to the fact that you had to turn back on the cart path to the next tee boxes. It felt a bit dicey heading toward the group behind you while they’re playing at you.

We also encountered guests of the resort walking the cart paths and standing in front of greens taking pictures while we were trying to hit our shot without killing someone.

Had a 2:10 tee time confirmed for a midday Thursday round for my buddy's birthday, which he took off work for. When I showed up for tee time, I was made aware that our tee time had been bumped back by not one slot, but two to accommodate our twosome getting paired with another (now teeing off at 2:30). Not a huge deal initially, as we just took some extra time to leisurely warm up. Logistically, I totally understand that moving tee times is commonplace to meet high demand, but having it be a surprise when you show up isn't the quality of customer service that I'd expect from a premier area course. This was paired with the fact that we were now stuck by behind a string of foursomes that were playing VERY slow (5:15 pace for 18 holes) and didn't see a ranger out for the entire round. My buddy ended having to cancel his birthday dinner reservations as a result of the unannounced tee time shift + pace of play.

Will say that course was in great shape and weather was beautiful. Have played Eagle Crest multiple times and this was my first bad experience.

Great course. A little on the pricier side but you get what you pay for - friendly staff, great range, awesome course that was challenging and well maintained, and the pace of play was unreal. I was played as a single at 7:10 - the groups in front of me let me play through and I played 18 in 2 hours and 20 minutes…unreal.

I played twilight, but it wasn't very pleasant due to play pace vs it's price

Not until you show up and find out you have to carry your bags in and cannot bring your own cooler or alcohol!!?! Might sound stupid but please put this out there for people to read.

I lived in Ypsi for 10 years, and every time I play this course I forget I am still in Ypsi. 6pm on a Saturday for $40 there is not a better deal on the planet. No one in front of us, no one behind us. It was perfect. The course is extremely challenging. Would play again

We played the front 9 and the pace was better than average (inside 2h)…at the turn we noticed a back up of 4 foursomes…we (2some) waited over 30 minutes to tee off the 10th hole…the next 3 holes were slow but reasonable…at the 13th it was beyond crazy slow—literally stopped for 20min…we left and had a margarita, playing only 12 holes (do the math $160/12)—if not for this glitch I would have made a 2 day event on my way back from Whistling Straits. Shame. Am not sure how this happened…random golf lice sneaking on the turn?

Super nice course. Well maintained. Beautiful views. Thick rough. Average speed greens.

It's one of the better public courses in SE Michigan. Many good courses in the area, but this one has the best views and use of water of any that I've played in the area.

This course is difficult but worth the price as many holes are memorable. Target golf for a lot of holes and the greens are no joke.

MUST get their early to hit a bucket on the range as it is one of the most stunning I have ever used in over 60 courses
