Challenging Greens

Fairly short course but you need to shape shots and know where the flagsticks are located . Problem: All the flags are the same color(yellow)! So, if hitting uphill or from longer distances it’s just a guess. Problem: The greens are mostly on hills and you need to stay below the pin but you don’t know if they are front, middle or back. 🙄🏌🏻‍♂️Otherwise pretty strategic course ( fairway 13 and 6 need some maintenance) If you put well here it is a great accomplishment!

Thank you for your feedback. We acknowledge the issues you've raised regarding the flag colors and green positions, and we're looking into ways to improve this for a better golfing experience. We also appreciate the heads-up on fairways 13 and 6 and will address the maintenance needed there.

Greens were so nice

Golf in Michigan is nice. Greens were in excellent shape. Fun course yet also challenging with some tough pin placement

course is beautiful to the eye, but greens were set up ridiculously. every cup on extreme slops and could not even lag putt. then at turn someone put out three teens walking right in front of us who were not playing seriously. playing like happy Gilmore and not really golfing. had to skip over number 12 so we could finish under 5 hours.

This course has never improved since playing it as a kid. It should be a really nice course but has never been managed correctly. Pace of play is abysmal and the course especially greens and tee boxes are in awful shape.

Pace of Play

As usual, course was in great shape, but they packed tee times, sent a league off of the back just as we were making the turn. Course is nice but lacks in adequate management.

Course playability

Friends and I have played the course several times and always struggle with playability. Most of the greens are severely sloped, and hole locations are cut into overly challenging locations. Coupled with beat up greens, this takes away a lot of the enjoyment of the short game.

Most of the staff are nice, but the ranger gave our group a hard time over pace of play even though we finished the front 9 in 1:45 and threatened not to let us make the turn if we didn’t speed up.
