pretty to the eye, easy on the wallet. a little gem so close to home. the course wont beat you up, but some pin placements can really make a hole a lot more difficult

The Shores

First time playing SCSCC this year, greens took a beating over the winter, many large brown areas on almost every one. Fairways in decent shape. Still very early in the golf season, this course wil be back in shape in a few weeks.

Slow

The course was very slow playing . If you are looking for a slow course this is for you. But it's not for your younger golfer that likes a nice pace . I will not be playing the course again unless I am looking to take naps in between holes.

The ranger doesn't control pace. The players advanced us were so slow. They didn't look care of anybody else but themselves.

Short but Challenging!

Fairways were a little soft due to rain but in pristine condition! Greens have been plugged and filled about 2 weeks ago, front side greens were very quick and true even though small green dots on green! Backside greens alittle bumby but still very nice, not as quick. The course management was Super Nice and course personel waited on us to shoot when working on course. It had rained extremely heavy 2 days before but not noticable and maintenance crews were busy cutting rough and leaves were non-exsistent on greens and fairways! Great Price and I will go back!

too similar

i was really disappointed as i was looking forward to playing the course, but all the holes are the same, short, flat, par 4 , straight out, the golf course needs more character.
the course conditions were good considering it had rained the previous day & the greens were ok.
for the price i was expecting more & there is nothing here to make you want to return.

What you see, is what you get!

Straight ahead course. Interesting par 3's and par 5's(two). Par 4's are mostly the same, yardage and layout. Greens were recently aerated(that time of year) so can't accurately review the greens. Now that course off 94 that I have passed for 25+ years is off the not played list.

Nice to play. Will do again.

Course was nicer than expected. Greens are varied and have undulation. Water comes into play on some holes. Has nice course features but is not extremely punishing for mishits. Course is kind of short so we played from the back and it was good.

Will play again

bad time to play for a good score

Course back nine was closed for maintenance. Greens were full of holes for fertilization. Staff was awesome, price was fair. Short course, may want to play the back tees for anyone who can drive more than 250yards. Playing the forward tees can put you in trouble if you like hitting your driver.

Great course for the area, enjoy it very much.

Nice course near Detroit, easy to access off of freeway. This was my 3rd time playin this course and other then the tee boxes being seeded, the rest of the course was in good shape. We had just a great time we almost play another 18.

Great Experience

Was the second group off and did not wait for a single shot. Played round in 3 hours. Staff was friendly and helpfully. Course was on the short side but in Pristine condition, greens were in perfect shape, bunkers were raked. Some tee boxes had been aerated. Grounds crew out repairing divots. The Road noise on some holes was loud but not the courses fault.

Will definitely play at this course again.

St. Clair Shores golf course

Course was in great shape. The green were a little slow. The pace of play was slow at a few holes but then picked up. Shot 3 over from the back tees.

The course was in GREAT condition.

This was my first time playing here and I was paired with another twosome, all in all the course was in GREAT shape. I had my best round of this season (82). The greens were fast,but also held very well with all my iron shots.If your a straight hitter you will love this course ,the fairways were well groomed but the ruff was high, which will cause you to lay up if your not in the fairway. The price was awesome THANK YOU GOLFNOW !!!! I am looking forward to my next round here.

Short course from the tips.

Even though the course is only 6000 yards, the greens and fairways are well maintained. The only issue we had was the ranger coming up to us on the ninth tee with some attitude and telling us that some group behind us had called in and said that we were playing too slow. Checked the time and we had only been out there for 1 hour and 45 minutes. The group behind us had never even stepped on the tees of the par 3's, let alone the par 4's, before we were off to the next hole. Our pace for a foursome was well above average. Other than that, it was a good course for the money.

A pleasant surprise!

The course and all the facilities are clean and well-maintained. All the staff were friendly and we got around in 4 hours flat, a very refreshing change from the usual pace of public golf. The course is short and not difficult, but nonetheless fun to play, especially for short hitters. Well-worth the reasonable greens fee and investment of time!
