Rattle Run Golf Course

Course is in the best shape in over twenty years.layout is challenging and enjoyable.

We played as a foursome on June 4 and had an experience that will stop us from returning.

On numerous occasions we had the course marshals telling us to speed things up even though there was never anyone waiting behind us. We were surrounded by twosomes and threesomes and so there was a gap of maybe 1 hole in front of us but never more.

If there was an issue maybe it was 2 or 3 groups behind us but definitely not us.

When we were done I checked my watch and we finished the round in 4 hours and 15 minutes. I don't know what these marshals were thinking but I think that is pretty fast for 18 holes.

After being treated like this we will not be coming back and that is too bad because the course is in the best shape we have ever seen.

great course nice design got hit with a torrential downpour after nine so could not finish,but really enjoyed this course

The course was in excellent shape considering the amount of rain that fell a week before.

The course layout penalizes bad shots due to the ditches. Some elevation changes make you think about club selection. Sand traps now have sand in them (didn't 2 years ago). Several tees are being rebuilt and new grass being grown. Several workers cleaning debris and general maintenance. Looks like they intend on bringing this course back to pristine condition.

Very friendly staff. Course has a Northern Michigan feel to it.

So I wanted to get a round in early on morning of my birthday. I checked out some hot deals in the area and saw one for rattle run. Reasonably priced about 40 miles away. The selling point was the 0804 tee time because of commitments later in the day. I got there an hour early to warm up. Nobody was there... ok I get it sunday morning. Looked around a little bit and saw a lot of lakes. At 0750 I call the phone number... got someone to answer telling me that someone will hopefully be there at 0800. I told him that I had a tee time at 0804 and that's interesting that someone would be coming in 4 minutes before the tee time. 0756 a gentleman pulled up and opened the pro shop. I told him that I had a 0804 tee time from golf now. Put me in the computer and asked me if I knew were hole number 11 was located. I said "no" first time here... he gave me directions and I asked why wasn't I starting at number 1. He asked if I saw the lake I said yes... he told me that's actually number one and that the only holes open were 9 and 11 - 18. The course ended up being a wreck. I get that we have had some rough weather however if you knew days prior that the course was in such bad shape why still put out tee times, especially on golf now. It was memorable birthday golf outing.... however not in a good way.

First time playing. Very good routing forcing you to hit most clubs in your bag. A couple short doglegs that are tough to judge distance, but the scorecard assists you in that.

Conditions were great for a late October round. Only negative were the tee boxes which were wet and muddy. It made finding a solid stance difficult sometimes. I talked to the pro after the round and he understood the frustration and said that is one of the main fixes in store for 2017 - great to hear.

Even though some of the tee boxes were not in good shape (standing in dirt/mud) this course is always enjoyable to play. I play here at least three to four times a season.

We had a very bhot day playing. However, the course was in great condition. I will recommend it to everyone, but you must be a relatively good golfer to enjoy it.

Great course...offers a variety of challenges...would recommend to all...

Lot's of investment and care being put into this course and facilities! Course was in great condition! Staff very friendly. Best food we've had at a course ever! The woman's tees really made it fun for couples play even for a senior citizen. Got to put it on your bucket list.

I'd like to lie because each time out there we haven't had to wait on any shot .

The greens are immaculate. Couldn't be better.

Fairways & traps are fine .

Great job by the grounds crew !!

And maybe golfers are actually fixing ball marks .

That or most are missing the greens . It is a tough track to score on.

Pops (75 yrs) a 15 usga handicap shot 93

My usga handicap is 7 , shot 81 (tips) very fair track accept # 6 tee shot has always confused me probably still thinking its a par 4

Should invest in new range balls ..no big deal

We always take St. Clair exit make a right down a ways and another right to the road the course is on but the road is closed from that direction.

Course has stood the test of time

better than ever !!

GREAT GREENS, ELEVATION CHANGES THRU OUT THE COURSE, CHALLENGING AT TIMES AND LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL SCENERY HAD A WONDERFUL TIME!

The course is in much better shape now. Greens and fareways were in great shape.

The course was very good but only played 14 holes, it became extremely slow from the 7th hole.

This course is very long, and has one of the best looking back 9 layouts cut through an old growth woods.

Gorgeous fall colors. Great topography! Good conditioning for late October!! Must play for all golfers.
