one of the slowest courses in michigan
took 4 hours to play nine hole greens were tour up not a place I would play again much better courses for the price
ok course
Very slow play, no rangers keeping play flowing, few greens in rough shape
Go elsewhere, this place has become a joke
I've played this course many times in the past, but hadn't played here in about a year, I used think it was one of the better ones in the area, but not anymore. Today we had a tee time for 1:52, but b/c they were short of carts b/c of any outing, we didn't start until 2:20. There were several groups in front of us playing very slow, we had to wait at least 10 minutes at each hole. Plus, the course was in rough shape, looks like they haven't kept up on the maintenance. Tee boxes were all hacked up, and the cart paths are falling apart. This place was one of my favorite courses at one time, now I doubt if I'll return.
Decent course
5 1/2 hr round , overbooked teed off 35mins past tee time , greens would be great if it weren't for half of them needing tlc , fairways and tee boxes were in great condition , course provides a good challenge with Tight tree lined fairways and protected greens
Sycamore
I'm surprised sycamore won Michigan Course of the year. There are several greens in much needed repair or too much fertilization. I think there are plenty of other courses much worthy of course of the year, like Arcadia Bluffs or Harbor Shores.
Unfriendly Staff
Didn't feel very welcome. Spent money at the facility and was treated like a nuisance.
Course played well.
Outing going on
This place knows how to run an outing and still take care of the needs of the reg. golfers. With a large outing scheduled during the time I was on the course you wouldn't know it was going on at all
COURSE OVERBOOKS
THREE NINE HOLE LEAGUE COURSE THAT SELLS 18 HOLE ROUNDS. WHEN WE GOT TO THE 10th HOLE WE FOUND A WOMEN'S LEAGUE STACKED UP ON THE TEE BOX, THE OTHER NINE HOLE COURSE WAS SAME WAY. INQUIRED AT PRO SHOP AS TO WHY THEY WOULD STICK A LEAGUE IN FRONT OF AN 18 HOLE BOOKING. WAS INFORMED THAT ALL COURSES BOOK PEOPLE TO START ON YOUR BACK NINE HOLES IN FRONT OF YOU AND IT WAS ALSO OUR FAULT BECAUSE WE WERE NOT SLOW ENOUGH. ADVISE YOU AVOID THIS COURSE UNLESS YOU WANT A 5-6 HOUR ROUND.
Great course
The fairways and rough were in excellent condition, some of the greens on the south course had dead spots but still soft
Horrible conditions. Lied to my face
What an absolutely horrible course. Greens were almost unplayable. Called the night before to make sure course was in good condition because I heard from a friend that the greens were down to just dirt. The pro shop person said course was in excellent condition and greens were great. This person lied right to me. The greens on this course are almost unplayable. I understand you have to make money but to lie about the conditions of your greens just to make a buck is breaking the law in my eyes. I will never again play this course and will tell all my friends, family, relatives and strangers to never play here. EVER. You lost my business and many many others for life
Tight off the tee at times
played this course about 5 years ago and fell in love with it back then....was shocked at the slow play....teeing off on 27 hole course should not be backed up like this was....also worse greens I have putted on so far this year and I play 2-3 times a week......no chance of making any putts outside of a foot....so bumpy and burnt spots that didn't have green color what so ever....sad to see such a nice course go to waste....
Greens
We got a great deal on Golf Now. The heavy rains caused the greens to be very cushy. Hard to read a put. The cup cuts were bad. Small chunks of grass missing around perimeter. We were disappointed. This course is usually impeccable.
Lots of doglegs
Although its not a long course, plenty of doglegs so you need to be able to place the ball and lots of bunkers. I have heard that this course was very good , but right now the greens took a beating over the winter and are horrible wouldn't recommend playing this course till next year.
Check about green condition
A really nice course set in some nice country but, having started our round, we were somewhat surprised to find the green keepers tearing up all the South course greens. The greens were not, they were browns..... The aeration had left the whole green covered in what could be compared to pea shingle. Fortunately, this course is made up of 3 separate 9 hole courses and the starter was happy to put us out on the other two courses.
Some tricky holes with tight fairways made for a good challenge.
6.5 Hr round?? unacceptable
Stay away I should of listened to all of the previous reviews for this year. The greens were the worst I've ever played. No chance in making a putt outside of 2 ft. Pace of play was awful. Round took 6.5 hrs to play with 2-4 groups waiting to tee off at every hole. I don't know why courses think that this 8 minute tee time rotation is a good system. Not to mention double booking. Bad experience to try and get out for a relaxing round of golf.
Early Tee time
Course Management poor had 6 groups of two at the same tee time and would not group them together. Tee times to close togehter pack to many people on course. Tee time 8am did not tee off until 8:30. The greens are also in poor shape course should not be charging full price and with river flooding course a lot of the fairway has no grass.
Great course with horrible greens, which isn't the norm
I played there at 8 am fri. morning and was looking forward to a nice round with my brother and a friend. It was a great day for golf , but every green was so horrible you could add a stroke per hole for the poor greens.
Great layout - greens need work
Overall it was in good shape. Several of the greens, just like other courses, were marginal. They are better than 4 weeks ago when we played. I will play again
Course greens need major repair!
My partner and I played the South /West 9's, and Course layout is not bad if you don't mind lots of tree lined fairways and parallel fairways. The greens were in bad shape, in fact you would be hard pressed to say the word "green" as many were scarce of grass and had more dirt than green. Not only were they in bad shape but they were not cut, and grass was growing over edges of cups. Fairway divets not repaired.
Probably will not play again since there are so many other MI courses in the price range of $25 to $40 which are in a lot better shape.
