Loon Golf Resort - The Ridge Course

Arrived early due to unfamiliarity with the area. Was allowed to go off a little early due to folks with earlier tee time were late. Course was very well manicured and greens were consistent. Lots of trees and a fair amount of water, but not a lot of bugs, thank goodness. Did lose a few balls in the woods and water, so bring plenty of extras. Will definitely come back again someday. Very nice scenic setting in Northern Michigan with great views.

Course was in great shape and pace was great, however I stunk up the place! Not long but tight in spots. Cut back jungle in some areas, and you can usually find an errant shot. Did notice additional landscaping, plantings, and workers.

Excellent Condition. Great value. Perfect intro to northern Michigan golf!!!

There was a foursome in front of us that was slow otherwise everything would have been fine

There was no savings for using golf now. The golf now rate was the same as the regular rate. The tee boxes need alot of work as well

We booked on last minute golfer and that was the last good experience of this golf course. The golf course was in horrible condition from the tee box's with four inch crab grass to the fairways that look like the where rototilled and debris everywhere. Now lets get to the greens. They had sticks all over them and again look to not have been cut in a week. We actually found a roller from one of there mowers in the middle of one of the greens. So in a nut shell Dont waste your time and money

This is not my first time at this course, and I was extremely disappointed with the pace of play, and the course conditions. It almost appeared that it will soon close.
I know it's early in the season however winter clean up should at least be addressed.
I used to be happy to bring people here.

Nice course, with lots of challenges. Several forced carries over marsh and water. Elevation changes, both up and down. Pace of play was great until two groups from an outing were put in front of us playing best ball. We would have played in 1/2 hour less, easily.
The course, however, needs some TLC. Lot of weeds on tees on fairways. Greens were in better condition. We played early in the year, so this may have been a part of it. We saw maintenance on the course, clearing leaves, etc from fairways, and areas near, so they were definitely working on it.
Would definitely play the course again, however. We got a great bargain with GolfNow, so the condition did not take away from our enjoyment.

Fun course to play in good shape. Some very tough holes. Beautiful course to play in the fall.

Someone please tell the management at Marsh Ridge their course is in very poor shape. The fairways are a little more then clover and weeds. The T-boxes are not much more than sand filled divots. The greens are blotchy and rough and apparently no one attends to the ball marks on this course. It was the biggest disappointment of my entire golfing experiences

The course has enough variation in typography to be interesting. Put it on you schedule when you spend time in Gaylord, Michigan, at a number of really fun courses with breathtaking views. It is more modestly priced than some in the area and could be a beautiful course with a little more attention to maintenance. Restaurant is great; people friendly.

This course needs some good maintenance. The tee boxes, greens and fairways all need attention. The lay out of the course is real nice and every hole presents its own challenge but it was obvious that it is not what it used to be.

Enjoyable course to play but several holes better suited for the intermediate golfer. Course was well maintained but cart paths could use some work.

My only concern is that I found the gentleman in the proshop to not be very welcoming. Course is well maintained with a lot of older players. The course is a pretty one that can become challenging due to blind shots and rolling hills.

Tee boxes shaggy, greens shaggy, fairways shaggy. Very tight.

TEE BOXES were awful!! Rest of the course was average. Paid less at the Dream and was much nicer!!!!

Lots of elevated tees and greens. Very aesthetic. Challenging but not impossible. Would definitely play again.

My husband and I recently went to Gaylord for an extended weekend of golf. While there we played three of the Treetops courses, Black Bear, The Loon and finally on our last day, Marsh Ridge. We have played and enjoyed this course on other trips to the Gaylord area. The main highlight of this course is the par threes and several par fours that require a solid hit to carry the marshlands between the tee and green/fairway. On this visit, we found the tee boxes and greens were a bit ragged in areas, but this did not take away from the overall playability of the course. While this course will not blow you away with breath taking views, it is a comfortable course for the average golfer.

The course has a great layout, I played from the blues, at 6200 yards, it has some challenging holes, with narrow to moderate landing areas. The front nine needs attention, greens and fairways are a little rough. The back nine seemed to be in better shape, and 18 is a great finishing hole. Very pretty setting, cut through the woods and lots of elevation and hills. I haven't played this course in a number of years, and it was not in as good condition as I remember, but I still enjoyed playing it.

I only had enough time to do nine holes. When i was done i wish i had the time to do the other nine. Will be coming back to do eighteen
