Enjoyed the round

Weekend play extremely slow took 5 hours to get through. There was a 6 um a couple of hole ahead of us for awhile. Used the time to get some practice.

This course is one of my absolute favorites

3 nines to choose from, all very interesting and very different. Surroundings are beautiful. Near the shores of Lake Michigan!

Fun day with my son golfing

The weather was great and the golf was awesome. Love the coarse but we had a very slow foursome in front of us so we had to skip ahead. Overall a good experience and we will definitely be back!

Great Shape

The course was in great shape. The weather was cold for the first nine on the Woods course that is near Lake Michigan. It warmed up on the Valley nine which is picturesque. Old Channel is secluded and always a joy to play.

Old school cool

The wife and I started coming here a couple years ago after a long layoff of over 25 years that I had not played it. It’s nice that they have 27 here and each night has its own character. The old woods is from the 1920s and it’s unique and has these bones And the Meadows is also a nice track and the newest 9 is the valley across the road which is also very nice. No it is on golf now when you get a very good price here and being that it’s a little out of the way it does not seem to get crowded at all.

Believe it or not we only paid $10 each here the last time with a coupon that they give us with tee off.com so you cannot beat the price the older gentleman in the clubhouse is a very nice cordial guy and the clubhouse reminds me of an old Stuckey‘s restaurant with a concrete floor in the steeple top roof. The guys take pretty good care of these old lines and being it is an hour drive for us it is worth it. We will be back again
