Rating Snapshot
About
Pohlcat Golf Club in Mount Pleasant has a winding layout that crosses the Chippewa River multiple times. The course sprawls across a diverse landscape that includes mature woodlands, rolling grassy meadows, and natural wetlands. It's a challenging layout with water coming into play on 14 holes and 56 bunkers strategically placed along the tree-lined fairways and greens. The tricky slopes and undulations on the greens, which can range from subtle to dramatic, add another challenging element to the golf course. The unique design goes back and forth between wooded holes and open, links-style holes, offering plenty of variety throughout. In addition to the golf course, there is also a practice facility available that includes a spacious grass range, two putting greens, and a short game area for putting and bunker practice.

This course has a good mix of challenges and hazards
First two holes are very challenging and force you to prepare quickly. Also, have extra balls since a few holes are tight and tree lined. Good overall mix of water and sand hazards as well as tall grass roughs and tree lined fairways.
Wonderful
A great blend of open and wooded holes. Challenging greens.
this course is awsome
will play again and will let all my freinds and coworkers know about it.
very nice layout
Nice layout with some challenging hole. Course was in excellent shape with fast greens.
Great challenging course
If you live in Michigan and have not played this course you are missing out on a great challenging course. Nice wide fairways and large fast greens.
Worth the drive but not great.
Had heard a lot about this course so was excited to get the opportunity to play here over the summer. I thought pace of play was on the slow side. Was also disappointed in the number of unrepaired divots in the fairways. Interestingly, we saw no sign of where divots went. Just found deep gouges. Sad. Did enjoy the course layout.
Do you want a challenge?
Most difficult course played. Tight greens, difficult to read, and very hard ground. If you want a challenge this course is it.
Great layout with fast true greens
Great layout with some tight holes greens are great and just fast enough. Play was a little slow but they did have a ranger out on the course. The price was excellent for the great quality of the course.
Beautiful!
Wonderful course, but very tough the first time you play it. I lost plenty of balls, but also found others. When I play it a second time, I'll be able to judge yardage to the hazards a little better. Some of the men's tee boxes have markers showing distance to the water, but none on the ladies tees. Greens are quite fast, but fair and hold well.

Excellent service from staff. Great food. I was surprised at how poorly the front 9 fairway was maintained.
Great value
Course was in excellent condition and greens were FAST. Fair course with some tight holes and challenging greens all around. Not really a course for the novice golfer. Excellent value. This will likely become a regular on our groups annual 4 day golf weekend in Central Michigan.
A great golf course
If this place was in Petoskey or Traverse City you'd pay at least $100.00.
Must Play
Great course, fast greens and friendly staff, cute beer girl.
Enjoyed the course. Lots of variety.
Enjoyed the day - great course - super people! A challenge for most golfers but worth it!
Pohl Cat
Lots of water, Take lots of balls. Beautiful and challenging
Good course, too expensive!
Booked through Golf NOw for reduced rate, regular rates are too high! Course was wet and caused me to hit my divots farther than the ball.
Great friendly environment and hospitality.
Great place to golf never had a bad experience here staff is always friendly.
A great evening round of golf!
We played the Pohlcat right after a big outing. The course was pretty empty so the pace was outstanding. It had been set up extremely hard, with difficult pin locations....this made it fun for our group. Some might not have thought so. The greens were lightning quick and in great shape! It's a great course.
Hot Deal Bargain
11:00 hot deal. Saw no one for 9 holes and then course came to a dead stop. We quit after 16 because we tired of waiting.
However, course was in very good condition with fast greens. No complaints of course conditions at all.
Pohlcat - July 2014
Very nice course - the greens held approach shots and rolled true and fast. The only complaint and it's minor is that some tee boxes were not very flat - why do so many course's not pay attention to this? Also - if you hit in the rough, you probably lost a ball - very thick rough. Several visible course marshalls keeping play moving.
