Golfer Reviews
Loved this course
I played this course for the first time today and was more than satisfied. They have 27 holes. We played the Jungle and the Marsh and they were beautifully designed and spread out. A little gimmicky and a lot of fun. I guess ownership has had a couple bumps in the road and seem to be pulling it all together. Great destination course that I highly recommend.
Coming back?
This used to be one of my favorite courses in North Oakland. Stunningly beautiful up North feel and some very challenging holes with lots of forced carries, uphill/blind tee shots, etc. (almost too many, really). But the years and economy took their toll and the course fell out of shape, especially the bunkers. Fairways and greens were decent yesterday and show promise for the year. And I was told they were repairing/replacing all of the bunkers - which would be a very good start. If they continue to make improvements we may get that great course back again.
$40 week day rate for a failing
"Once excellent" course
Seems to be going the wrong way ?
After reading the course is in awful condition why will anyone pay $40 week days
Idk weekend rate
Is the 4 sale sign or
chapter 11 Coming soon because whoever owns this
"Once excellent" course
has given up on it
Very challenging tracks
This is not a course for novices. All 3 tracks feature forced carries, woods, swamps, greens surrounded by trouble, elevation changes, etc. Some holes have unconventional layouts. It reminds me of The Myth or Devils Ridge on steroids.
Eat beforehand or bring a sandwich because the clubhouse/snackbar, a very dated double wide, is lacking. Hot dogs on rollers and prepackaged junk food is the fare. Copper Hills is not an inexpensive place to play golf and I was disappointed by this.
That being said, you could get lost in the shear beauty, the majesty, of these courses. Lots of nature and wildlife. A very up north feel.
If you have some game and can get a deal, check it out.
Slow play due to difficulty of course
The design of this course makes slow play inevitable. The greens are quite challenging as well as the approaches to the greens. The bunkers are essentially all unplayable and the weeds are abundant.
Cooper Hills
Over priced for the condition of the course and lack of facilities. No club house its a trailer or modular home unit. Bathroom were not very clean. The Guy at the desk was rude. complained about those who use now and how it has affected his profitability. The course overall was solid however there was vegetation grow in the sand traps. Will likely never go back there
A very pleasant surprise!!
This was the first time playing and I played all 27 holes. Reminded me of "up north" golf without the long drive. Beautiful layout on awesome land. Conditions were very good considering our lack of rain lately. Only one hole I could do without and that was Jungle course #6. Other than that, I will definitely be back
awesome course
the courses are tough but fair, the conditions are very good, it seems no two holes are the same with eye candy everywhere, I really enjoy playing here but again it is a tough course and you may lose some balls.
Looooong Day
Tee time was for 11:04 arrived half hour early and was told there were no carts and would have to wait until some came in, with no idea when that might be. Finally got paired up with another twosome who had also been waiting for carts to return and made our way to the first tee box, only to find two other foresomes had yet to tee off. Fist drive was struck an hour after our reservation. From there pace of play was not bad, but did not expect a 6 hour round. No matter how busy tee times should be spaced out better and having enough carts seems like a no brainer. Did enjoy the course and cart girls were seen with good frequency.
Good fall golf
The course was in fantastic shape for November in Michigan( I must admit my expectations are not high this time of year for northern golf). Played The Hills and the Marsh course (jungle was closed for the season) they have some fun layouts that force good course management to score well. Greens were still rolling alright for being aerated, a few were pretty bumpy. Would like to play here again earlier next season when the course is in peak condition. It was most likely the last day of the season for them so not much left to choose from beverage-wise, but they still had hot dogs.
Must play
It is one of the best golf courses and you must play at Copper Hills
Copper hills is a great course with up north feel
One of my favorite local courses. Beautiful up north feel with rolling hills, and numerous elevation changes. Challenging course with a number of forced carries.
Good course for the money
Played on a Sunday with a hotdeal tee time. The course was in decent shape. The tee boxes could use some work. Most of the greens were nice except for the fact that no one repairs their ball marks even though there are signs every 100 yards reminding you. Pretty course, challenging with some forced carries and narrow fairways.
Too bad !!
Waited to play this course all year, what a disappointment,from poor fairways to unkept sand traps and looked like they had a spring break party the night before with beer cans littered at the tee boxes.l would recomend going up the road to Boulder Point.
Poor condition on greens and fairways
This course has an amazing layout and design. But the conditions are less than ideal. The greens were in rough shape and the fairways were terrible. Bummer
Tarnished Copper
I have to agree with one of the previous reviewers regarding the Golf Digest ratings from years ago. I wished I had played it 10-12 years ago, as it's obvious this course has seen better days. Truly a shame because there are some phenomenal hole layouts and scenic views all over the course. Greens were in good condition but out of all the fairways were mostly a combination of clover, crabgrass and hardpan making every fairway shot a tight lie. I was actually glad to be in the rough a few times, much easier to get under the ball and generate some spin. From the unmaintained tee boxes to the tattered and faded flags, there is almost an eerie feeling as you play the course, especially on the Marsh. I probably won't play again but I do recommend playing once - some of the views and hole layouts are worth the price of a Golf Now admission.
Find the fairway
Demanding tee game. Must find fairway to score, and to find ball! Good greens and beautiful setting
Best lay out
Needs a little tee box help fairways so so. Greens were perfect and fast
Challenging
I'm a rather novice golfer and found this course to be pretty challenging. Make sure you have plenty of sleeves if you have difficult controlling your shots. A lot of the holes require some thoughtful club choice. Beautiful course though. Lots of wildlife. Fairways are nice. Greens are kind of fast. Bunkers are in good condition. Tee boxes are flat and maintained.
Thank you for sharing your nice review! We hope you come back soon.
