Poor Course Conditions

I’ve played this course a couple of times maybe 6-7 years ago. Went back to play again and I don’t think I will be back. The course conditions are very, very poor. Half of the greens were half dead, dry patches all over the “fairways.” Paid $40 on a Sunday afternoon and I don’t think I would’ve paid $20. It is a shame because the course has great potential and a great layout.

Marsh Oaks is in sad shape

Used to be a great course. You can tell the ownership is not putting enough money back into it. Tee boxes, greens, rough were in bad shape. They haven’t mowed around the greens at all recently. It’s not the US Open for gosh sakes. May of the greens had some disease eating them up. Great layout, poor upkeep and conditions. Probably why it was the lowest Sunday fee on Golf Now.

You must be a friend of the owner. The course is almost unplayable

Overpriced with Awful greens and terrible course conditions

Every single green has massive holes in them and the roughy is way too long, 100% not worth the price you are better off going to Michigan meadows for way cheaper

Like a box of chocolates,,,

I play here several times each season. always mid-week. Often it's uncrowded, but when it's slow, it's very slow. As for the course, there are big improvements on ## 7 and 10, which in past years were largely very wet and muddy. The greens overall were very slow, but it was a tough April. I'm hoping they get some decent grass-growing weather, as in past years their water sources were interfered with by construction projects east of I-94. The staff is friendly. The course is a nice design, with some variety. There are 5 par three's for a 71 par,.

Better than last year

It is obvious they are trying to improve the conditions of the Marsh Course. It was very enjoyable.

I’ve heard bad things about this course and it wasn’t as bad as I thought, but the course conditions were pretty terrible. I only played here cause of a hot deal and a coupon.

Grounds need care

Lose your ball in the grass all over the place and the greens are patchy. Needs some TLC.

Not Maintained

I played this course a couple years ago. While it wasn’t in pristine condition then, it was a PGA level course compared to what it is now. Most of the course including tee boxes and greens looked like they hadn’t been mowed in over a week. The rough was very overgrown and may not have been mowed yet this year. All the sand traps have been left to go back to nature. Most had grass growing in them and the ones that didn’t haven’t been raked in some time. They resembled ignored cat litter boxes more than golf course bunkers. Almost all the greens had significant damage, dead spots and ant hills. This is the worst course conditions I’ve ever played on. If I had payed full price, I would have left after 9 holes and asked for a refund.

First of all the greens are in sad shape. Most have dead grass and cause putts to bounce and The fairways are also bare in many places and the bunkers are wet and make it like hitting off solid earth and soil with grass growing in them!!.

Sorry but it appears the management is milking the and spending for basic maintenance!
