Great scenery and Course Conditions.
This Course is probably my Favorite. The layout, course conditions, and three 9 hole courses. Not to mention their nice sized driving range. Beautiful scenery and out by Lake Michigan. Great time for all!

Beautiful course 0n the shores of Lake Michigan
I've been playing this course for over 55 years and it has always been one of the best maintained courses in West Michigan. Always a nice breeze off from Lake Michigan and the best value around. The 5 star rating is well deserved
