Fun layout, but poor conditions
There was absolutely no reason to try putting on these greens, as they ultimately are in worse shape than most of Michigan's roads. The tee boxes were in really bad shape as well (which I do point the finger a bit at golfers not filling their divots on the Par 3s).
I was golfing solo at twilight so the pace of play was about as fast as it could possibly be. I just can't in good conscience recommend this course to anyone on the state of the greens alone.
Decent
Overall decent course, friendly staff, link style but bar cart came every 4-5 holes.
Some difficult holes for sure but overall good condition. 2 greens had some issues but looks like they are trying to repair.
Cheap Fun
Super cheap tee time and you get what you pay for. Carts are backfiring often and struggle to start. Greens and a bit damaged and cost me a few strokes. Some tee boxes are uneven. With that said, it’s a fun course and I zipped through 18 in 2.5 hours. Turn dog was fantastic. Grass range.
Tough and Fun
Paid 25 for 18 with a cart and it was well worth it. Course was wide open and I finished in three hours with a buddy. You can tell they are putting love into improving the course. Nice grass range, no mats.
Only complaint is that because it’s a links style course you can’t hit the clubhouse at the turn for a hotdog.
Not Bad for the Price
Green are in rough shape, with ant hills and bald spots that are prominent enough to redirect simple putts. Cart girl came around once, which is fine. Decent round with pace pretty decent.
I would go back.
Better than last year
They are really trying to make this course better. It is in far better shape than the last time I played there.
Slooooooow day
Course was not in great shape - half of the greens had major issues, not to mention how rock hard they were (a little water never hurts). Pace of play was horrendous - every hole had 2 or more groups at the tee box, with nothing but 2 or 3somes on the course. It wouldn't hurt to have a ranger go tell the group of 2 dopes that being 3 holes behind the group in front of you is bad. the 2 people I joined up ended up going to Marsh Oaks hole #2 after Old Oaks #11, just to make sure we got 18 holes of some kind in.
That being said, the staff working was pleasant and friendly...guess I shouldn't expect too much for $35 at 3:30 on a Saturday <shrug>
Horrible course conditions
Greens were destroyed. Couldn’t make a good putt from anywhere on some of the greens. There we piles of dirt around the fairways. I’ve been golfing here for the last 5 years and it seems as they charge a lot of money for terrible conditions without ever trying to improve the course.
There has been 17 days without rain and was in pretty good shape. Tee boxes were hard, greens were ok.
Management is putting effort in to improving the golf course. Bunkers are getting cleaned up. Fairways were mostly good. Greens were 70/30 with some still badly damaged. Overall fun day with my son. Not overbooked for a change.
Waste of money
This course has the audacity to charge 60+ for 18 to play a course that doesn't regularly cute the grass, tee boxes are bricks, half the greens are almost unplayable I only will ever play this course if I get hot deals on it for super cheap. Also there is no turn at the club house, cart girl came to us on the 3rd hole only had 1 beer I asked if she could bring more she said no problem never seen her again until we're approaching the 18th green......
Old Course Needs Love Too!!!
80% of time and effort are put into “The Marsh” Greens on the “Old Course” definitely need some Love!! Overall a good experience with a few ground under repair drops..
