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.

Vacationing
Got a great Golf Now hot deal for Pohlcat after seeing good reviews. Tee off was on time and pace of play was pretty good. Course was in good condition except it had taken alot of rain and had standing water which they couldn't do much about. It was still a really enjoyable round. Fairways are wide and good opportunities for par are out there. Bloody Mary's from cart girl were quite tasty and we ordered a sandwich on hole 9 and it was delivered to us a few holes later. Fun to play! Would highly recommend.
Thanks so much for your review. We're so glad you enjoyed your round at PohlCat Golf Course. That's what we like to hear! We hope to see you again soon!

Slow play ruins day
It's a nice layout, some beautiful holes (a few quirky ones), in good shape although I was surprised at the slower speed of the greens. But it's hard to judge anything when the round takes 5 hours and you are waiting on every single shot. We should have known we were in trouble when the group in front of us was still on the first tee at our tee time. How does this happen at a course with tee times 10 minutes apart? No starter in sight. Rangers came by us a couple times ... and drove right on past us. Didn't even stop to ask us how it was going. Don't know if this pace of play was a problem that day or this is normal for that course, but our impression is that this course is not well managed.
Hello, thank you for reviewing the course. We apologize for the delay of play during your round. This is by no means the standard we strive to achieve. With that in mind, we are working to best control pace and allow everyone to finish in a reasonable amount of time. We will continue to look for ways to improve. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.
Awesome day to stalk the cat
Great day at the pohl cat! Hot day and unfortunately they had a call in causing them not to have a beverage cart. However the ranger went around and made sure the golfers knew to call the club house and they would bring out anything we may need. Great teamwork to keep people happy! It’s not easy on any business in the staffing department right now!
Thanks so much for taking the time to write a review. We're so glad that you enjoyed your round at PohlCat Golf Course. Please visit us again soon!

Poor scheduling
Played this course dozens of times this summer alone. Smooth play until hole 7. There was a twosome in front of us. A group of 4 were sent out to the back 9. my playing partner almost hit them on his drive as they were coming through a path in the woods. They then played number 9 instead of going directly to 10. The twosome in front of us were then held up. We grouped up to keep our pace. The foursome said that they had a “back nine tee time” and apparently were in a “league”. What a joke at a course that has no turn. Backed up the entire round after this.

Slow as molasses
Played here for the 5th time, it took over 5 hours to play 18. Ordered food at the 10th hole, and the cart girl brought it out to us by the next hole. That was great because we still had 3 hours till we finished. Other than the extreme long wait time, the course was in great shape, per usual. Great place, but clear your schedule for the day.
Thank you for your review! We will pass along your positive experience to our team at PohlCat Golf Course. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
Hello, Nick Thank you for visiting us at PohlCat Golf Course. We appreciate your 4-star rating and review. We hope you join us for another round soon.
Was beyond excited to play for the second time.
I hate to leave a bad review, but with marshals and staff at the clubhouse being unjustly rude while being a paying respectful patron on the course. Unfortunately this is the end of the continued journey I was going to play on this course, if you cannot respect the people funding your establishment I don't believe you deserve the continued respect of playing at your establishment.

Pohl Cat Golf Review
Played a round today at Pohl Cat. Front nine went fast, but caught up to a golf outing the course had, which slowed things down a bit. The pin placement was tough, but I am guessing that was because of the outing. Had lunch at the clubhouse after, everything was very good.
Overall, a great experience, except for the mosquitos. :)

Slow play
I just moved from north of Atlanta. Been here 5 days. I guess these folks here are just getting out to play.
But they are in no hurry. So much for ready to play. They sit in carts and handing out at the green and tee box.
