Great track very good conditions greens were rolling very nice.

Enjoy playing this Muni course when I get the chance. Although a short track the conditions of the fairways and greens are excellent. Staff is friendly and the cart girls made it back to us several times during the round. Fun little track to play. Pace of play was a bit slow but that was due to juniors playing and walking the course with there parents. I had no issues with it as golf needs to grow the sport with the younger crew. Plus I realize I had a afternoon tee time and that is what you will run in to on most courses at that time of day.

Golf Now is not a value for the senior golfer

I had to pay $25 thru Golf Now and the senior rate at the course was $24. The tee time was not available at the course, just on Golf Now.

Standard shorter muni. Way too slow.

The course is average at best. Right off the freeway, so nothing pleasing to the eye here. They seriously need to spread their tee times more effectively or hire rangers that do something, as the pace of place was awful. We left after playing 8 holes in over 3 houra.

Great value, good course conditions, but play was a little slow.

Good value; could have played the course for the same cost to the course that Golf Now tee time cost.
Course Conditions; great for this time of year in Michigan.
Staff; is courteous, not overly friendly.
Pace of Play; was slow, to be expected for mild weather in Nov.

Nice course for the beginner.

My friend is learning to play and was able to play this course easily. That's not to say it is easy. There are several carries over water and many bunkers.

Great course to play in the Fall.

Beautiful municipal course. Well maintained, tee boxes and greens were in great condition considering the time of year. Carts have windshields and no leaves to contend with.

challenging shorter course

I have enjoyed playing this course for several years. It has two challenging par 3 holes, both of them have a forced carry over water. It is a tight course with some water to consider on several holes. Most of the greens are challenging and two putts can be difficult if you are out of positon on the green.

Very well kept public course.

I live only 5 minutes from here, so I guess you could say its my home course and its probably one of the best kept public courses you will find and its yardage is suitable for all types of players.

when you wanna spend a day

For starters at the clubhouse, they were rude when they learned we booked online @ golf now. The tee time wasn't available because of an outing, so a 20 minute wait occurred then about 5 minute wait between shots.
