Standard SCS
Course was in good condition per usual. Fairways and greens are always well maintained considering its a city course. The one knock on this course has always been either the way that tee times are stacked up, or the inability to move people along once they get out there, but as long as I've played it, waiting on every tee box is pretty standard procedure.
The course itself is not overly challenging, but there are some narrow fairways, some small greens to aim for and some required target shots. It probably won't excite you, but its good for a tune up round.
Average
I think the course is average. It plays relatively short and an average golfer can comfortably play irons off of most of the tees on the par 4's. On this particular day, the pace of play was pretty slow. We found ourselves waiting on the tee box for most of the holes. I probably would not pay more than $20-$25 to play this course. With all the different discount golf websites, it is worth paying an extra $5 - $10 dollars to play a nicer course. The course is conveniently located if you are an east sider, where golf courses are few and far between.
Attractive and reasonably challenging local course
Very nicely maintained and landscaped course. Conveniently located in suburban area for local golfers.
Great public course but it really needs rain
Great public course if you have a decent amount of patience for less-than-average-skilled golfers ahead of you. The pace of play is great generally but there is a series of consecutive longer holes on the back-9 where less-skilled golfers will get caught up and hold up the players behind them.
WARNING FOR BAD SLICE/HOOKS: first few holes are near condos, and some holes on the back 9 are near the highway, so I wouldn't recommend this course if you don't have some decent control over your drives.
A public course so expect the usual drunk 20-somethings on weekday afternoons. Had to help two inebriated buffoons move their cart off a curb they somehow got stuck on.
Holes 1 and 12 have greens under construction, making them 30-40 yards shorter than normal, and use fairway greens. Consider Hole 1 a practice hole given the terrible replacement, and Hole 12 is a 90-yard Par 3 from the blue tees. Hopefully 12 will come back soon, since it's one of the more fun and challenging holes given the traps that surround the real green. The other 16 greens are in okay condition and have fairly challenging runs for moderate golfers.
Not a ton of hazards, so low risk of depleting your extra ball reserve, although there are a few holes with some precarious water placements.
Random perk - the beer cart accepts debit/credit, so you don't have to worry about cash-on-hand to whet your whistle on the course.
a tidy track...
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.
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.
You will enjoy this course
For this time of year, great deals & well maintained course.
Hardly no leaves anywhere. & the geese are nowhere to be seen.
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.
Well maintained
Very well manicured course for the amount of play. Frank and R.J were very cordial and helpful starters.
