Not a cloud in the sky !
Was happy to see Y'all blew the leaves aside !
This course makes you shoot more tactically ! Lots of fun and not easy at all - I enjoy it more each time I play here - I’ll be back ~
Michigan Feb Golf :)
You are golfing outside in MI in FEB w a cart. So happy they opened ! Sun was shining and warm : ) for the time of Year the greens were awesome better than some courses in the summer. I would volunteer to blow the leaves BC you lose balls and you want to keep pace up so you keep rolling BUT You know you didn’t lose your ball - just buried under one leaf perfectly hidden. That’d be my only wish if I had to wish something - otherwise super nice people employ the place and it was a zero stress kinda day and fun for everyone there.
Golfing in Michigan in December
The staff esp. Rich or Rick ? Was great. My friend left his range finder and He helped Him retrieve it the following day. You can’t say anything about the conditions, we were golfing in December in Michigan :). It was the first time I tried to push my Tee through the morning frost ha but I loved every minute of it. There’s a few holes that are kinda Mickey Mouse but overall great people and experience in my opinion. Will be back in the spring I can’t wait to see that place all grown in the spring I bet it’s beautiful.
Impressed
Had played this course multiple times over the years and really enjoyed the layout. A few years ago, It seemed that lack of maintenance had taken a toll on the greens and tee boxes. Yesterday I was really impressed with how pure / clean the greens rolled , keep in mind it’s currently Dec. The staff has always been great !!! I would recommend this course for any skill level.
Good condition
This course was better than what I expected. The course was a little short but the condition was good. If you hesitate to go there, I recommend you to get it.
Difficult
Condition of the course wasnt the best. Tee boxes were tore up, didn't look like they have been rotated at all. Bunkers were also in rough shape, doesn't appear that anyone has taken after them all year. Fairways and greens we not too bad.
A lot of holes require a layup off the tee. A medium/long iron or 5 wood. Requires a straight shot off the tee box a lot of the time or you are OB.
Would golf it again, but it's about $10-15 over priced imo.
Couldn't Pay Me To Golf Here Again
The course condition was nice. No problem with the staff, or the amenities. The problem started when we got to hole 5. We had gotten done with hole 4 and rolled up to 5 seeing 4 groups waiting to tee off. We waited a solid 30 mins between shots from there. So overall 9 holes took 3 1/2 hours. So making the turn from 9-10, a few of the groups dropped off and we didnt stop at the club house for drinks and food hoping to get in front of the slower groups. Made it through 10, and 11 just fine. Coming up on 12 everything slowed down again. There was a group in front of us that was extremely rude. There was a blind hole, think it was 14, going up a hill then back down. We knew the pace was slow, so my brother and I waited about 15-20 minutes to tee off, because we couldn't see over the hill that was about 240 yards to the top of it. So I hit, started driving up the hill and see my ball fly right by me going back the opposite way. The group in front of us, hit my ball back towards us. After one of the gentlemen flipping me off, and calling me everything under the sun, my brother and I picked up our balls and decided to leave. Pace of play way too slow, no sightlines to see people in front of you. It's not worth it at all. Overall, not a great experience
LOST 100$
Paid on golf now for a round of golf for 3 guys and a cart. A huge storm rolled in the night before knocking out power and phone lines. Through the app on golf now it says cancelations can lead to a credit for certain cancellation reasons. One being weather and the huge storm that came through took out some trees and lots of flooding was not enough to receive a refund or credit. Lost 100$ and cannot seem to be able to contact anyone.
New manager improvements!
Great improvements since last year, greens roll quick and more enjoyable with the trimming of trees. But Tee boxes still need a good leveling.
Watch Out for the Back Nine
This is a pretty nice course, with the exception of about 3 funky holes (4, 10, & 12 are pretty ridiculous). The back nine is much tougher than the front. I played 2 days in a row and each day I shot 8-10 shots worse on the back nine and lost about 6 balls each day. Many of the holes are pretty narrow, with danger on both sides. The greens are in nice shape, as are most of the fairways, although the areas around the cart paths can be pretty patchy. Some of the cart paths need to be replaced. I play this course because it is convenient to my sister-in-law’s lake house and it is a decent track and reasonably priced.
Good Course
The course itself was good, course needs policing or less tee times, took over 5 hours because we had to wait on every shot for the group in front of us, who were waiting on the group in front of them and so on.
Divots, weeds, could be better.
Course is pretty neat. Like an up north course. Tons of homes by it. Grasses were in terrible shape.
