Expensive for what you get
Our group has played Torch for over 30 years - well prior to them building Sundance in 2005. Torch is a very pretty old school course that has some quirks. $89 weekday is a tad steep for greens that still show aeration marks and frankly are a bit bumpy. Due to the age of the course Torch's greens are much slower than Sundance - pro-tip - using the only practice green near the driving range will definitely screw up your speed all day you play Torch.
Pace of play was average and at best and we had to wait a few times despite teeing off well prior to noon. And a couple of foursomes were blasting their music as loud as possible.....just having a mid-day booze party - they disturbed pretty much everyone behind them on the back nine.
Course is in okay condition but it's not an $89 weekday course.....it's more like $50 or $60 at most. The old original Torch clubhouse with restaurant has been nicely renovated except for the bathrooms. A better making the turn experience than the main newer clubhouse. Greens okay but slow/bumpy, traps hit and miss...fairways tees just okay and rough is patchy. I cannot recommend these two courses as the management is only concerned about booking large drunken groups and squeezing every dollar they can out of anyone that books a round there.
We used to enjoy playing these two A-ga-ming courses - there are plenty of other courses in the area that charge a fairer rate, don't have a bunch of jack-a-lope large groups destroying them and you can play them in well less then 5 hours. Simply put these two courses have lost our longtime business.
Worth Playing on a Golf Weekend
We brought a group of 36 to A Ga Ming for the weekend and played Torch and Sundance. Torch was definitely a distant second for our whole group. There is nothing wrong with the course. The layout is fine, the conditioning was good (minus the aerated greens), and there are some good holes. Overall, nobody had an issue with it, it just wasn't as nice as Sundance.
We love playing here!
One of our favorite courses….we’re staying here and will play Sundance later this week.
Professional and courteous, great conditions and a very enjoyable experience. Thank you.
Wonderful views and excellent golf course
This was a course on our bucket list that surely was fun!
Great views!
I travel here each year for 4th of July and make it a point to golf. I chose A-ga-Ming for its reputation around with local golfers. I have to say the lay out was fantastic and the views were breathtaking but the pace of play was so, slow. The foursome in front of us were not letting up play through which lead to a 5hr round. But there was a significant amount of fungus on the grounds and a lot of anthills. Several tee boxes are not flat and what happened with #3 (I think) the 300yrd par 5? Next year I’ll try out Sundance; it clearly is the star child here!
Amazing views
This course is great. Views are incredible. The twilight rates are the best deal in Northern MI (IMO)
Beautiful round on a Saturday. The greens and fairways were great and pace of play was outstanding, great staff!!!
Golf with a view
Golf with views of Torch Lake. Great course, hilly with amazing views of Torch Lake.
