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.
