Very Dissapointede

Yes, it was a great weather and early in the season. The courses were packed. There were not enough carts to go around. We had to hold tee times until we got carts.

No one to start the first tee time, so everyone went off when ever they were ready, causing delays of two to three groups waiting on EVERY hole. This was a six hour round.

The condition of the greens was obviously the first of the season greens. Twenty plus divots, and not cut.

The rangers did nothing to help with pace of play but picked up cans.

The cart girl kept driving into you as you were hitting.

Professional training is needed. Save your money.

Marsh was horrible

Old Oaks greens were dry and fast. Marsh fairways were absolute trash. Shame, as it's always been a nice course. I knkwcits early in. The season, but wow.... the ruts in the fairways were unreal.

Don't waste your time or money

This is a sorry excuse for a golf course. I booked this as a HotDeal 4days previously on GolfNow, because the weather was supposed to be good. Well, Michigan weather being what it is, it rained all the previous night and golf day. I called to see if they were closing the course because of continued heavy rain and thunderstorms. They told me they weren't, therefore I couldn't get a refund from GolfNow. We went to the course anyway, and they told us no rainchecks or refunds. We played since it was paid for. It was solid rain the entire time. The fairways were just mush. Some of the greens had areas with inches of water on them, and some teeboxes were ankle deep. We went in at the turn to get some dogs, and the waitress/bartender (who had no customers) was rude. On the 10th hole it started raining buckets, so we decided to call it and go in. I went into the pro shop to speak about getting a raincheck or something. We were soaked to the bone. This totally arrogant old "manager" told us NO RAINCHECKS NO REFUNDS, and the rain is letting up. Yeah, from torrential downpour to just plain heavy rain. I will never ever play this course again, and I will make sure that I tell everyone what a bunch of jerks they are there. The only good thing is that they are right next to a prison, so they got that going for them.

Sad to see the decline of this place

The course has definitely been in decline the past few years from neglect but played here this morning and was absolutely shocked how bad it has become. $45 tee time is absolutely absurd for the conditions. Sure hope owner sells and someone who has the resources buys it... Very sad to see this gem in such disarray

Been a few years since I’ve played here…should’ve keep that streak going

$60 for this course is absurd. I understand that we’ve had a lot of rain lately so some wet areas and standing water were expected. That aside, it looks like they haven’t fired up the mowers there since mid August, or moved the tee markers. Which gives you 2 options on every box, tee it up in the mud cause the area between the markers is so worn down that there is no grass, or tee it up in the rough cause the rest of the box is about 3 1/2” long. Not hard to tell the pin placement hasn’t changed lately either. Clearly the management doesn’t care about their course.

I hope this saves others from making a $60 mistake
