Underrated course is a great track to play

For the recent weather conditions I was surprised at how well manicured the course was and how fast the greens were.. always a fun course to play.

Fun Course

Ignoring the wet conditions that every course had to endure, this layout forces you to be club conscious as fairways end 3 Wood and force you to carry to 270 to the next one. Just enough creeks, fairway bunkers and greenside bunkers, but large enough greens to compensate. Greens were solid! I would love to see how this course plays out when dry/prime summer. Tee-off Ranger was very friendly and I will assuredly return to this course. They have a cart girl on Sundays in April! First one so far this year I've had. She is very pleasant. Also they have "Player Assistance" crew acting as part light maintenance and rules gurus. Great idea! And they're not out there to harass golfers. Just an added bonus.

User Friendly Course

A favorite local course that I like to play early in the morning. Always in great shape. Have been coming here since the early seventies! The groundskeepers do a great job. Pro Shop staff friendly as are the starters. Course is fun to play from the white tees. Normally my buddies and I can get around in under 3.5 hours.If your looking for a wide open leaf free course in the autumn, this is it!

Needs Mowing

Never again will I play this course when it is cart path only and if the rough stays as long as it is. Fairways were nicely manicured but, the rough was 4" high. I measured it.

Good morning, thank you for spending your time with us at SCS Golf Club. We do understand your concern about the rough but we do not purposely keep it at this length. However this past week has brought us over 4” of rain and two days of complete closures. Unfortunately that has made it almost impossible for us to get our heavy machinery on to the golf course and mow. If we did it would likely result in the machines getting stuck. It does not benefit us in any way to have longer rough. If you have played here before I hope you understand this is not the norm for us. Normal rough cut is 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 inches. The rough is long due to factors that were out of our control. I hope you decide to give us another chance in the future. If you would like to discuss further please contact Rob at 586-294-2000 ext. 2.

Thank you

Course and weather were perfect. I was paired up with two really good golfers. And I shot my best round of the year. What's not to like?

Well maintained course

I like St. Clair Shores But it's always Slow play. They must over book and always hook you up with other people Which this time actually ruined our day on the course, hitting multiple balls racing all over course. Total chaos !!! We play Twice a week at other courses that don't hook you up. Slow play is a killer. They need to monitor the course much closer. They need to offer more Hot Deals for Golf Now we would golf their twice A week.

Good morning,

Thank you for playing at the St. Clair Shores Golf Club. I would like to address a few of your concerns. We book our tee sheet on 9 minute intervals and I do ask our staff to not take any walk ins unless a spot is open. We deem a normal 18 hole round time as 4 hours and 30 minutes, hopefully you did not exceed that. While we understand people do not like to be paired up we cannot operate in such a fashion if the tee sheet is full. If we allowed everyone to play solo or as a twosome then our tee times would fall behind dramatically. We would encourage those folks to come out at slower times as we are more likely to accommodate your request. We provide a ranger on the course daily starting at 9am, my apologies if they weren't visible on your day of play. Please don't hesitate to ask the ranger any questions in the event you run into slow play or need anything else. The hot deals are not offered by the SCSGC, they are offered by Golfnow.com, we do not have control over the hot deals. If you have any other questions, comments, or concerns please don't hesitate to contact Rob Spinazzola at 586-294-2000 ext. 2. Thanks and we hope to see you again soon!

Always in superb shape

My first time playing SCS in a couple of years. The course is extremely well-kept. Pace of play is often said to be quite slow, but no issues today - we were around in about 4 hours exactly with a foursome, and several groups ahead of us. We never bottle-necked or got the feeling that we were being held up, nor holding up the groups behind us. Rangers were very visible, friendly, and helpful.

The course is quite short, and should be easy, but I failed to take advantage. It's the kind of course where one should have a shot at shooting one of their lowest numbers. The course was in pristine condition in every aspect - tees, fairways, rough, bunkers, and greens. Not to mention top-notch carts and paved, smooth cart paths. At $20 with a Golf Now hot deal, it was a great bargain. I've missed playing here, will definitely make it a more regular part of our rotation.

Great Value on a HotBuy

Consistent greens and lush fairways make this course a pleasure to play. Forgiving layout lends to good scoring opportunities. On the shorter side , even from the tips, great for working on mid to long irons from the tees. Restaurant on site along with beverage cart will keep even the thirstiest players satisfied.
