Tight and hilly
This course is recovering from years of neglect. Greens and fairways almost fully recovered. Cart paths still horrible. If you can’t hit straight, bring lots of balls. Very tight, sloping fairways, and difficult greens. Prices need to drop to fill lots of open T-times on sunny, warm weekend days.
Needs attention
Greens are well-cared for and in great shape, but fairways, rough grass, and trees require long-overdue cutting, repair, and maintenance. Sand traps also need significant attention.
Rough
This course is in very rough shape. Dead grass on the fairways and plenty of divots on the greens . The trash cans were overflowing, and the cart return was full. A good indication of lack of effort and care. The first 10 holes are lined with housing, and I did not know that Michigan had so many hills.This course is definitely a one and done.
Nice Place
Pleasantly surprised by the very up north feel and look of the course. Greens were in good shape with respect to the Pinckney rednecks that are too lazy to repair ball marks. What made it challenging were some of the holes with hills and uneven lies relative to your ball and feet location. To score well you really need to be able to come off the tee well. In my opinion.
I did have a flat tire on my cart and had to change it after 9, and the guy woking the pro shop needs a better attitude. Tee time was 11am Saturday Aug. 30 if anyone wants to figure out what his problem was that day.
Awful
How can a course with such potential be so run down?
Fire the grounds keeper if there even is one. Brutal...wouldn't play there for free.
Difficult course / in rough shape
Very difficult course made even more difficult by the poor condition it's in. The tee boxes were beat up, the fairways were rough in spots and the trees surrounding the course needed trimming or to be removed. The greens were in good shape, however, and the staff was friendly.
Challenging course. Good condition
Great course. Greens in good condition. Challenging course. Very tight fairways.. Different elevation changes. And sloping fairways. Sand is taken care of.Fairways great condition.
Good course and challenging
Great course. Greens in good condition. Challenging course. Different elevation changes. And sloping fairways. Sand is taken care of.Fairways great condition.
Has Potential
This course has some real potential. Fairways and greens were in pretty good shape. Hole layout is good with some pretty challenging holes. Tee boxes and cart paths definitely need work. With some investment this could be a great course.
Tight Fairways
This course is very tight. Expect to hit 3 wood and irons off the tees. There are a few blind tee shots. Greens were in good shape a rolled good. Gas carts with no GPS.
Great course
Great course, good pace of play. Vastly different than Florida golfing.
