Great Go To Course

This a great course to play on a regular basis. The price is a good value, the conditions are always nice and I’ve never had an issue with the pace of play. It’s a fairly forgiving course which makes for a fun day of play. Only downside is there is no driving range but there are some warm up nets and a nice chipping/putting green

Slow play too many golfers on the course

Could be a fun course for average golfers, if the management would just spread tee times out a little more.

They also need to hire some rangers to keep slow players moving.

Teed off at 4:20 and didn’t finish up till 9PM.

Hi David,

Sorry to hear that you didn't have the experience you were expecting. Our tee times are spaced at 9 minutes with occasional buffer times in-between. Normally that is sufficient but we apologize it wasn't on your date of play. We do provide a ranger throughout the day and hopefully you spoke with him about the slow play in front of you. If you'd like to reach out to me to discuss possible compensation please call Rob at 586-294-2000 ext. 2.

Great course, always kept up.

I have been playing at the shores for a while now. It’s one of our home courses we enjoy playing the most. Two par 3’s on the front make it challenging because their right next to the freeway. Distance control is a must, both greens have quite a bit of slope. I would say it’s not a easy course for any caliber player. It’s worth the money and it’s fair priced, they don’t rip you off. I’ve played the bigger courses that cost more coin and I get the same at the Shores for cheaper rates. If you haven’t played here, give it a chance. I would highly recommend playing here, if your looking for a course that takes pride in their work.

Great short course

Man great little course. Not long but tight with large good greens. I am new to the area and am trying new courses. This is a definite play. The bartender @ Cranks was awesome and really helped us with some local knowledge. I’d go back for her alone.

Play this course. ⛳️

Had Fun

Course pretty good considering all the rain we’ve been having. Car path only which slows down pace. But still fun.

It's a Muni

Lot like every other municipal course in Detroit Metro area. A large section of the course is noisy by I-94. It was very muddy when I played but we've had above average rain this year. Not a challenging course. Very reachable par 4s and 5s. Shot below my handicap on this course.

I will not be going back. Pace of play was slow. Lots of rangers watching slow play and not doing anything about it.

Pleasantly surprised- this was a fun track! It’s a shorter course and you you need to ignore the highway traffic on a few hoes, but the course was in very good shape. Pace of play was very reasonable.

Surprise!!

Drove by on freeway for years never played, looked kind of plain from freeway but played on the 4th very early to beat heat and was very pleasantly surprised! The pro-shop fellow was friendly as was the starter and the whole coarse was in great shape despite last weeks terrible storms. The green rolled true and although most holes are pretty straight and easy, there are a few challenging holes on the course. The clubhouse is very nice and updated and they have their own brew Crankers so try a great IPA and meet Kerry the bartender who was very pleasant and knowledgeable. II would definitely recommend this course to the average golfer!

Good for your money

Had a really good time. Only complaints really is the greens are slow and some of the fairways are a little worn. The group in front of us was extremely slow and we had to wait to tee off every hole for about 10 mins. But overall fun course and staff is extremely nice.
