Great course!

From the second, we got into our cart, giving us a rundown of their new car with the GPS and Bluetooth hook up. Letting us know that it’s car path only the carts are tracked via GPS so if you go off the car path too far, it will stop. Just really a great course for.

Nice course

I live near Mystic Creek, so invariably I end up playing 4-5x per year. Very nice local course with 3 varying 9's. Typically in very good shape. Nice staff & the club pro, Trent, is a good guy, who also taught my son to play. The three 9's are, in order of hardness:

Meadows- pretty open, not too long unless you're playing from the tips, few forced carries. Only tough holes are 6-7, #3 is long, but, unless you hook it left, the right is wide open. #4 is a gem.

Woods- scenic 9 with an up North feel. Holes 3-9 give a real secluded feel. My favorite 9. Good mix of tough & easy holes with a drivable par 4 (#6..don't miss right!) & a good mix of "let it rip" holes & some where you need to use some finesse (#4,8)

Lakes- lives up to the name. Water on 8 of 9 holes with it REALLY in play on 6 of those 8. If you're off, this 9 is a bear & you'll lose a bunch of balls, but, it's fair. Water is clear to see, need to execute.. I've shot 42 on this 9 when I'm on & 54 when I'm off. #6 is a PGA course tough Par 3, #8 is a beautiful, but, challenging drive over a lake.

Mystic Creek review

Trent and the rest of the staff were extremely accommodating. The course was in impeccable shape considering how early it is in the season. This course will continue to be my favorite course in the Metro Detroit area for the price and quality.

Pleasantly surprised

I played just the lakes nine and enjoyed most of it. Some very tight drives and water very much in play. One really silly hole (7). Greens seemed like they would have been really nice prior to aeration. Looking forward to coming back to play the other nines.

Cart path safety suggestion

Overall 5 star on ALL courses!

Just a safety concern regarding cart part slippery condition when wet after it rains. The path in Lakes going down to 17 is quite tricky and slippery even trying to gently brake while going down since the asphalt is getting smooth. Possibly roughen it so the cart wheels will really grab the pavement since its a steep angle downhill! Plus, Its downhill with a turn so that roughening of the surface will make it safer to descend.

Thanks for a fun course to play!

Mystic Creek

This course is way to hard for beginner or intermediate golfers!!!!! Unless you can shoot low 80s constantly and shoot over lots of water you will not enjoy this course!!!! Now saying that, the course itself is beautiful and in great condition!!!! The staff is pretty good, the bathrooms are a little dirty. Pace of play is way too fast, and the carts are GPS controlled and most have a mind of their own!!!!!

Beautiful Course and Excellent Condition!

This course has three nines, the lakes, the woods, and the meadows. I played the Lake and the Woods. The Lakes is a fun but challenging nine holes. You basically have to take out one side on every hole. For example, 1st hole the water is all down the right side and in front of green, 2nd hole there is water on both sides but more room left, etc etc. Hole 7 water on left and a slither of a fairway, and hole 8 is the most intimidating tee shot I have faced in a long time. Elevated tee, water all down the left, and dead into the wind. The woods was an easier nine but still beautiful. Greens were in excellent shape and rolled fast and true. The only negative was that I was first out on the Lakes as a single (which was great) but when I made the turn to the Woods I was behind a foursome and in front of a twosome! So they were sending people off the Woods course. But besides that the course was great and would love to play again!!

Mystic Creek

This course isn't for beginner or intermediate golfers!!!!! Some par 4 holes should be par 5!! And some of the par 5 should be par 8+ . The course itself is beautiful, but the controlled carts make it hard to enjoy!!! Especially when the screen is telling you to speed up pace of play and there's other people on the tee box!!!! If your not a fast play golfer I wouldn't recommend going unless you like to be frustrated!!!!!

A hidden Gem

I recently played Mystic Lakes golf course and found it to be a truly wonderful course. From Courte to greens the place was well-maintained and in immaculate condition the staff was friendly and very professional and made me feel welcomed. I played the Meadows for the front nine and the lakes for the back nine and had a wonderful time enjoying the scenery, in addition to the meticulously cared for green tees. I would highly recommend it to anyone and will definitely look forward to my next visit.
