Jabdilla review

Course is in good condition except for the cart path

I had first tee time of the day which means the greens we’re not cut and were quite wet

Oh well

Getting Better

Tee boxes haven't been mowed in a few weeks. Stick the tee in the ground and it looks like the ball is sitting right on the grass. The staff is great and pace of play was finally very good. We played 18 holes in 3 hours!

Marsh Oaks is the premium course? NOPE!!!

The Marsh Oaks course is (was) the "premium" course at Oak Ridge? Well not anymore!!!

Tee boxes were either burnt-out & rock-hard or not cut & patchy.

Fairways had a lot of ground that should have been "under repair" but was really just wet / overgrown. Cart tracks all over the place (that's on the golfers though).

Greens were super long, slow and it appears nobody knows how to fix a pitch mark (again, mostly on the golfers).

....oh, and it was $8 for their "large" range bucket at the size of most courses very small bucket. Half the balls weren't even "hitable".

In all fairness, the bar staff was quite friendly & beverages were reasonably priced.

To sum up, it appears the course has been treated like a farm during the pandemic and needs a lot of TLC before I'll play there again....

Getting a little better

Better shape now than earlier in the season. However, the tee boxes and some of the fairways are about 2 weeks behind in being mowed.

Backed up

I don’t know if it’s to close on tee time or what. Just waiting at the tee we had to wait 30 minutes after our tee time to just to tee off. Second time this month that this had happened.

Good course, not favorite.

I play there occasionally because the prices are usually good. It’s often wet and the greens can be sort of long, but it’s more than fine for the money. Play is often slow, and I’m not really sure if they just pack people in or the marsh is just more difficult.

Marsh Oaks

Course is in terrible shape. May be from the recent rains, but tee boxes were torn up, fairways had clumps of dried grass clippings. Greens were in decent shape. I’ve played the old oaks course, but never the marsh. Was not worth $40

Getting better

Finally, the course is getting back into good condition. You can really tell there has been some TLC.

It has taken a 180 degree turn for the better since the beginning of the season.

Got a mower?

I get it, it rained a lot Friday. How tall is the grass supposed to be on a tee box? 3 inches plus? Ridiculous! This used to be a nice course. The owners are not putting any money back into the place and it shows. Cart paths, parking lot, tee boxes and carts all terrible. For the right price you can overlook a few blemishes.

Don’t go until they mow

Staff was friendly but the course was an absolute mess! The grass on the tee boxes was so long the top of the tee was below the grass, the greens were as long as the first cut should be. Not much of a difference between the fairway and rough just shaggy. Waste of $30

First Time Playing

Worst course of all time

Absolutely the worst course I’ve ever played in Michigan. Tee boxes haven’t been mowed in what looks like a few years. Fairways were completely beaten up it’s tough to even call them fairways. Greens had so many divots it was impossible to putt. Will never be going there again, and the staff is full of incompetent dickheads.
