Rattle Run is back!
Hadn't played this course in a decade due to bad reviews. Noticed it had new owners last year, so I took a chance. The course is in very good shape. Fairways are nice. And the greens true and roll well. Very good bang for your buck here.
severely undulating terrain
Very challenging course with not. much water to contend with.
Rattle Run
Great test of golf and from Dresden Ontario very easy and quick to get there.
Challenging course
Very challenging course, lots of trees and very nice greens
Great Course for the Money
Busy Fathers Day- Other than that, everything was great. Definitely will be playing again.
improved conditions from previous years
Under the new management the greens, fairways and tee boxes have been greatly improved.
difficulty of course remains very challenging.
location is difficult to get to.
The good thing about this course was that it didn't take too long to play.
Considering the course conditions $ 38.00 was too much to pay for 18 holes. They waited too long to cut the grass so a lot of fairways were lined with dead grass clippings and was mosquito heaven. Went through a whole can of bug spray.
Cut the GRASS Please
It had been 20 years since I had played Rattle Run. I am very pleased to see the old course coming back. The fairways were excellent, the greens were in terrific shape. My biggest issue was the length of the grass off the fairway. However once I started hitting fairways it was fine.
This course was the perfect getaway on a Thursday morning. I strongly recommend it and will be returning.
Course is improving
This was the first round at Rattle Run this year. It appears that the course is on a track of improvement. This had been a very good course in the past and then was on a downward slide. Glad to see they are getting it back in shape. Will definitely be playing more this season.

new owners seem to want to bring rattle run back...
Course was in bad shape
I usually love this course but when I went to play the other day they did not have fairways for every hole, it was the same length as the rough. There was dandelions everywhere as well which made it look bad. Hopefully they start to maintain it better because it is usually a nice course
The tee boxes are in horrible shape, although the greens seemed to be maintained.
This course has a nice layout and considerable length but it is in dire need of attention. The tee boxes are awful! You're basically teeing off from someone else's divot. The sand traps are mud traps. The greens however, do seem to be maintained. I will not play hear again until the course condition improves! I did get through the round as a single in 3 hours so pace of play was not a problem. I was overjoyed to be done with this round.
Good course for the price
I wouldn't play here for their regular course rate, but for the awesome $16 deal we paid it was well worth it. Hard to tell what condition the course was really in considering it rained pretty heavy the previous two days, but however it was not flooded and in good enough shape to shoot a decent score. A few challenging holes and some elevation changes but overall a fairly simple course. I would go back.
What happened?
This has always been one of the best courses in MI. They have let it dry up. Also they no longer have a liquor license. Indefinitely, according to the lcc signage plastered on the door. We played 18 for $20 and I still won't go back. Unfortunate. I hope they turn it around.
GOOD VALUE
THE NEW OWNERS ARE WORKING HARD TO GET THIS TRACK BACK INTO THE SHAPE IT WAS KNOWN FOR. THEY ARE ALMOST THERE.
Needs some TLC
I believe its under new ownership so I will cut them some slack, but the course was looking a little rough. Always an interesting track to play though.
Once a great course, now needs attention.
Rattle Run used to be a great course. You can see it in the layout. Built on a magnificent piece of land, the layout is very picturesque. Clearly it has seen better days, however. The tee decks are now uneven, bare and gone to weeds. The fairways are hard, dry and also weedy. The greens are still in very good shape, and the ball still rolls true. We played from the black tees, which makes this a very challenging course, but certainly not the claimed 140 slope rating from them. I don't know if it is due to the poor economy in the Detroit area, but this course is in desperate need of a cash-infusion to restore it to greatness. When we played it, they had lost their liquor license, but advertised "we have ice"....clearly part of the reason for the loss of said license. Overall, it was worth the value, but only because we managed to get a GN "Hot Deal" and played it for $13 each, with cart. I sincerely hope that this course gets the attention it needs, as it would be a shame to waste this EXCELLENT layout.
