Nice track

Nice up north layout. Fun. Not a long course but in very nice shape and is challenging. Par 3's make the course. They are pretty long and demand good shots. Definitely would play again. Views from #7 are spectacular.

Go play it

Just a beautiful course, with outstanding views of Torch Lake.

Staff was very relaxed and inviting but yet professional.

Food at the turn grill was out outstanding.

The place is very clean.

Such an enjoyable place to spend a day up north in Michigan!

Very Poor pace of play

Pace of play was so poor, I left after 12 holes! Played on a Saturday and the tee off was delayed50 minutes due to a rain delay. I get that, its going to be a little slow on a Saturday. There were Two groups of four foursomes each playing scrambles! Front nine was over 3 and1/2 hours! Back nine was worse! I quit after 12 th hole and a hour and a half! THERE WERE NO RANGERS on the course moving folks along!! Even the beverage carts were scarce! For the $95 Non Golfnow fee paid for golf, the course provided a disservice!

That said, the course is in good shape and the views spectacular. Im sure it would be nice on a weekday when no one was there!

Lovely but not easy!

Played Sundance last year and then the Torch this year. Mostly great conditions except some tee boxes need fixing up. They were fixing some areas and grinding stumps in others. This is not an easy course but is nice compared to the desert courses we play. The staff is very nice! Love Michigan golf! Greens were a little slow, bunkers mostly sand, fairways nice! No coolers or ball washers on the cart.

Great course

Great course, great staff!

Just pace of play was slow and the three other people I was playing with had to leave after hole sixteen because we were being held up by what looked like a bunch of people in a scramble. Not sure why it was taking them so long if it was a scramble!
