Rating 71.0

Lake Erie Metropark in Brownstown sits along the shoreline of its namesake lake. The location is a popular bird-watching spot with more than 300 species recorded. Golfers might catch a glimpse of a bald eagle and broad-wing hawk sightings are almost definite since the area is one of the best hawk-watching sites in North America. The golf course sprawls across gently rolling terrain and is routed through natural wetlands and forests. Towering trees line the fairways and water comes into play on a few holes. There are also strategically placed bunkers lurking along the greensides. The golf course is a manageable 6,472 yards from the back tees. Lake Erie Metropark's challenges are mild enough for high handicappers but there are still some interesting holes that will keep the avid golfer entertained.

Painful round

VERY slow play. Had to wait at least 5 min on EVERY hole. Many twosomes, no rangers. I really like the course, but pace and lack of on-course rangers made the round less than desirable.

Very poor pace of play

Pretty terrible experience. Met the ranger on the first tee who bizarrely gloated about how many people he had busted for “bringing in beer”. Clearly the only thing he was doing. Front nine took 3 hours and 10 minutes. 5 groups on a hole. I called the clubhouse after 9 to see if the ranger could get things moving and the clubhouse told me to “deal with it because it was a full tee sheet”. If your tee sheet is resulting in a 6 hour time par, there’s something wrong with your tee sheet, not your customers. The Metropark courses are usually run well, so clearly an anomaly at this one. Would not recommend.

It’s well maintained.

Lots of scenic views, one of the nicer courses to play for reasonable prices. Lots of wildlife, and even seen a pack of baby coyotes on the back 9.

Condition as become poor.

I don’t know if it’s the pandemic or something else but this course is in horrible shape. The greens were super inconsistent and bumpy from aeration that was not done right. No rangers to help manage course play. The cart paths need to be redone. The tee boxes are a disaster. If the course is going to be in that condition all year I will go elsewhere.
