Missaukee Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Missaukee Golf Club is located between Lake City and McBain, just a few minutes from the beautiful downtown district of Cadillac. At 6,045 yards from the back tees, the course is player friendly enough for golfers of all skill levels. The golf course sprawls across gently rolling hills dotted with a mix of hardwoods that give it a true northern Michigan feel. This forgiving layout lacks the tougher features that are characteristic of some of the area's most popular courses and provides a more approachable round for beginners. There are five ponds and a small creek that come into play throughout. Missaukee Golf Club is a wide open course that is player friendly enough for the weekend hacker, but there are still a few challenges in store with the water hazards and also several strategically placed bunkers.

5th green. Toughest par four on the course even at only 325. You have only about a 25 yard window on your tee shot to get to a spot in the fairway to have a clear shot at the green. Anything left on this hole is instant death and a sure penalty. Photo submitted by u314161955381 on 12/27/2022

8th green. You can get very close to driving the green if you catch a driver right on the button, possibly even on if the wind is with you, but you have to carry more water than you think. Photo submitted by u314161955381 on 12/27/2022

9th green. The toughest par four on the course after hole 5. Again, you have to hit your tee shot far enough to the corner but too far means you'll go through the fairway. Green slopes SEVERELY from back left to front right. Photo submitted by u314161955381 on 12/27/2022

10th hole. A beautiful par three down the hill with a green that plays smaller than it looks. Choosing the right club on this tee shot is vital. Photo submitted by u314161955381 on 12/27/2022

18th Fairway. This might not be a long finishing hole at only 321, but you need to be aware of the two fairway bunkers which are tough to carry with a driver and cut fairly far into the fairway. Photo submitted by u314161955381 on 12/27/2022
Course in excellent shape
Front 9 more challenging than back 9. Overall course was in excellent shape, tee boxes, fairways and greens.
Nice place- weird policy
They give you a ribbon to put on your cart to signify you’re playing 18. But the way #9 is laid out, you can’t see a cart until it’s on the green.
So they send people off the back directly in front of you after you’ve finally gotten through the slower players so you can then play through some more.
Terrible policy. In the pro shop, just say “NO, you can’t play only, or start on the back nine”. Ridiculous course management.
Kevin a great guy! Unfortunately course didn’t excite us
Wife and I purchased a round here Friday afternoon, June 6 and arrive late in the afternoon when an outing was just finishing up and the place was busy. We still got out on time my wife went in to the clubhouse and in a real nice gentleman named Kevin And we waited and got out at the right time so no problem there. We had a very good reputation or condition and ranked very high so we made an hour and 15 minute ride up from the Grand Rapids area to check it out on a nice Friday afternoon.
Kevin was a piece of a guy talked to him for a few minutes. He even gave me a nice Missaukee ball marker so of course, we have to give it a five star friendliness rating, but unfortunately, we have to be honest and say that we were not overly impressed with conditions. Kevin did tell us that they had problems with the irrigation. The fairways were very hard. The ball did not hold on the green. I just have to be honest sorry. It is an older course from the early 70s and has plenty of mature trees around the fairways to keep you straight and there are a few ponds to navigate also unfortunately I don’t think we’re gonna make that journey back up to play this course again you also have quite a bit of road noise with route 55 and route 66 along the courses
I am still going to give it a four star rating and a recommendation to play it. Maybe by the time you play it, the irrigation will be working and the course will be watered. A little bit. Better rating is up there because of the treatment by Kevin that makes a huge difference in people‘s first impressions so kudos to Kevin thanks for the ball marker!
Great value
Fairways are wide and nice. Course is well kept. Will play it again.
