Old, older, oldest

This course is nice and cool right along the lake when it’s really hot in the city come up here start out with the woods nine which is close to 100 years old. Really kind of neat with some old obstacles in the fairway. I don’t know what they call them back then and then the Meadows is a 60s course which has nice character and then the new Valley nine which is 30 years old is the most modern it’s very nice nine holes are usually find the deals right here up to you off her golf now and for two of us to pay on a Friday afternoon for 21/8 of $42 you can’t touch it so it’s a little drive out here what is very very nice scenic ride along the lake

Very Nice Course

We golfed it for the first time on 7-13-23 while on vacation on the west side of the state. We liked it so much that we went back on 7-15-23.

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
