Milham Park Municipal Golf Course
About
Situated on the southern edge of Kalamazoo, Milham Park Golf Club borders its namesake park. This municipal course is one of the best in the city, boasting some of the best conditions of any of the area's golf courses. Originally opened as a nine-hole course in 1931, the second nine was added as a project under the Works Project Administration in 1935. The course has a traditional layout that is seemingly short by modern standards at 6,630 yards from the back tees. Don't let the yardage fool you, Milham Park offers many holes with good length. The layout is heavily bunkered and there are tall trees along the fairways. Water is nowhere to be found except for a mild hazard that edges along the fourth hole.

The best 18 hole, public track in Southwest Michigan.
I always love playing at Milham Park GC. When I first moved to the area 25 years ago, I though it was the local Country Club course. When I found out it was a public course, that I could join as a member, for $350.00 for the season, (Prices back then!!!)I thought it was a joke....Coming from California's prices and public tracks, this was golf Heaven. Treat yourself to a great round of golf, at a reasonable price, when you come to visit Kalamazoo.
fast greens
Nice course fast greens well maintained for fall gokf
Very Poor Pace of Play
I liked all aspects of the course except the pace of play. The greens had some speed to them and the overall layout of the course was good for the length. They have a good practice facility and pro shop. The entire staff was helpful and pleasant. My round took 5 hours 15 minutes. During that 5 hours and 15 minutes I did not see one ranger to speed things up or see what was going on. The course seems to draw a lot of inexperienced players. The starter sends them off and that's the end of the courses responsibility.
Great Public Course
Milham Park is a joy to play. I played from the yellow tees but I think from the blue tees the course would be a good challenge for a low handicap golfer. The course and greens were well maintained.
I paired up with a member, who was also a single and we had a great time playing together .
What a great review! Thank you so much for your great feedback, and come see us again soon!
Spring Fun
Nice layout, fun to play. Condition of the course could use a little more attention.
We've been working hard the past few months to make the course even better -- we hope you'll stop by soon to see the improvements! We're glad to hear you had a fun round, thanks for the feedback!
Good Value, Poor Staff
Milham is in great shape for March in Michigan! Enjoyed my first round of the year out there this past week. However, same story of mean old guy(s) at the counter who treat you poorly when they see you booked through an online site. Every time like clock work. Good bang for your buck course though through GolfNow.
Slow
Don't come here if you are trying to play 18 in under 5 hours. Old ppl refuse to let you play through. Played 9 in 2 and a half hours. Course is ok for a city course. Prices are to high for the quality.
Milham Park GC
Weather is obviously key this time of year for course conditions..a lot of places are in decent shape right now and Milham Park also has their place in very solid order. The greens here are in incredible shape right now. Driving range is sufficient; definitely an old school feel in some corners of the course. If you play the back tees and you're driver isn't going 260+ there will be several approach shots from around 200 yards. Solid practice putting green near the clubhouse and the fairways are very playable.
Good course for all
This course has some fairly easy holes, some moderate holes, and some very challenging holes. Overall condition of course was fairly good, but playing in the fall you always have leaves to contend with.
If you play here, plan to play slow
We played a 4-some, and because it's fall, we looked under the leaves more than once for our balls. i live in Kalamazoo, but seldom play at Milham. Milham is know for slow play, and they do nothing about it. Even when they have a starter, nothing is ever said about keeping pace. Members regularly cut in on players making the turn. Even after "playing the back nine", they make no attempt at keeping pace. Seldom have I witnessed a slow group letting anyone play through. a nice place to play if you play better at a 5 hour pace.
Good layout, great deal
course was in good shape, fairways shaggy but not burnt anywhere, greens were very receptive and had great contours. Some tricky putts out here! Unfortunately we played on errified greens, so pretty sandy, ithe others there said the greens are normally excellent so i will play again soon. Tight tee shots old muni, small target greens but they have character. Will be back!
Great course for the $$
Great course! Close to home and good price. Don't lose to many balls here.
great city owned course
Always in good shape greens are fast but fair and course is in great shape fun to play
Awesome
I would consider this my "home" course. Great fairways, beautiful greens. Provides difficulties for both amateur and advanced players but very playable for both. Staff is great and friendly.
Great course, slow play
I have played Milham Park before and always enjoy the round. This is an ideal course to walk but cart was included so we road. The greens were good, fairways were perfect and the rough was long. My only complaint was the pace of play. Tee time was 12:20 on a Sunday, did not complete round until 5:30. We had a sandwich before we played and they were great. I would recommend this course to all.
Ehhh
Very poorly treated by an older staff member when my friend and I were trying to locate the starter. He was not at his post or near the #1 tee, so we asked inside. The older gentleman running the counter brushed us off and told us to just go look around. Seriously?
Greens themselves were okay putting-wise, but in poor shape, appearance-wise.
Great time
Fist time here and I was very happy with the round. The staff was very cordial and friendly which is very important to me. We ended up missing our tee time as the starter kindly worked us into the tee box when he didn't have to. Very top notch service.
Great Course
This course is less than a mile from I-94 and a great place to play. Greens in excellent shape. Pace of play is average. Tee boxes and fairways in excellent shape.
Thanks for the feedback, and we appreciate you noting that you enjoyed the course overall. We do get golfers of all levels throughout the weekend and will experience a little longer than average rounds. We will look into your comment on the ranger -- thanks again for the feedback.
