Promise Kept

Last week when I played here I commented about the rough being way to long. I was assured it would be mowed before the next time I played there. That promise was kept and the whole course was in great shape. Good job!! I'll be back again next week.

Fun With Grandson

My 7 year old grandson and I enjoyed ourselves playing this course in a scramble format. Children under 17 golf free here with a full paid green fee in their midst. The pace of play was slow due to a high number of inexperienced golfers on the course, but we did not care!

Still the Same

No surprises....it was still very slow play. The rough was very deep (almost up to my ankles). Growing seed on top of the blades. There was no first cut of rough it just went from nice fairway to deep grass. If they want to speed up play the rough should be cut so one doesn't spend 5 minutes looking for their ball when it was only two feet off the fairway.

Good morning, My name is Rob Spinazzola and I'm the operations manager for the St. Clair Shores Golf Club. I want to give you a couple reasons why the rough was so long when you played on Tuesday. This May we received over double the amount of rain we normally get in addition to the hot temperatures right after creating a quicker than normal grow rate. To add to that two of our machines that mow both our baseball diamonds and the golf course rough broke down, essentially creating a perfect storm. I can assure all that we are working very hard to get caught back up on the issue. We do not want the rough any longer than it has been in prior years as it lends to a lot of lost golf balls (even some of mine!) and slow play. As of this typing we should be caught up on the issue by today. Please contact me further to discuss at 586-294-2000 ext. 2.

A solid city golf course

A well kept up golf course. Fairway and greens were good and rough was very long due to wet spring. Could use a first cut rough as fairways are narrow. Plenty of bunkers to keep golfers honest.

Nice course, Long rough

SCS Country Club is a nice little layout, the fairways and greens are in great shape. Don't go into the rough, however, some places were 6" and very thick right off the fairway. The goofy spring weather has made it difficult for the staff to keep everything cut at an appropriate level. I was assured that they are working to get things perfect.

Beautiful Course

This course is always well maintained, The ruff is deep right now which slows down play trying to find your ball, fairways are always good (bent grass). Very clean I Love this course. I hope they put out more HOT DEALS for Golf Now members. We try and play twice a week so we have to go where we can save money retired now.

Fun and Challenging

The weather was warm but very windy and a little rainy off and on which really made the course challenging. Teamed up with a threesome who were so much fun. Couldn't ask for a better day of golf!

It was my first time playing the course and the next time I am in Michigan, I would definitely paly the course again!
