Upscale course, great layout
Some of the best terrain in the Metro Detroit area, anyone who is tired of the flat courses that only offer the occasional dogleg for a challenge should come here, lots of rolling hills, etc. that make playing this course a lot of fun!
Mediocre Course
This course was just average. The tee boxes were in need of work and were pretty firm causing me to break many tees. The sand traps did not have racks near them. Overall the course was maintained but did have some areas that needed attention.
Great course
course was in great shape,well maintained.All the rain we had
you would never know it on this course.Every thing was green and no standing water. Great course

Great value and challenge, but lost liquor license
Course was challenging, in good condition and great value. Only problem was that they recently lost their liquor license.
Hidden Gem just north of Detroit Metro
I've played Rattle Run several times. It's not quite an "up north experience," but it is close - and a lot closer to Detroit than "up north."
Several holes require precision shots, where water or trees play major factors to one's success.
Great views and a relaxing setting.
You over hear an airy chuckling voice through the woods, but turn and see no one. The sounds and sights of golf surround you, and in the distance you see another cart of friends or family enjoying this past time, in landscapes that seem rich in history, and the old sound of the wind. The wood, the river bends, and likely a little sand after the full round.
Once Great Course Making a Comeback
The course has a layout which cannot be matched anywhere in metro Detroit. It is one of the few courses around that challenges you to hit long irons, mid irons, and short irons into greens. The pace of play was pretty slow on the front 9 but picked up on the back. My biggest pet peeve is having to wait to tee off on #1 which was the case on this day.. Our tee-time was delayed about 9 minutes. I still believe the fairways should be cut shorter and the greens should be faster to really make this one of the best courses around. For the price, this course is a good value.
Excellent value
Unfortunately we had a torrential downpour so we didn't get in 18 however it was a great experience.
Great track!
Course was in very good condition. Greens a little slow, but where in very good shape. Looking forward to playing it again.
lovely lovely lovely
I wish we were going to be in this area awhile. We travel and were able to golf this course twice and if I were here longer, I would be golfing this regularly.
What an improvement
The greens are very well maintained, cut and running about 10. Green approach requires a good touch with your wedge play. The fairways are well groomed with the rough cut accordingly. This is a course that shouldn't be missed this season. Played this course a few years ago when under previous owners, and was not happy. The New owners are doing this course right. New superintendent has it under control. Black, blue, white, and red tee boxes. A good course for all. All levels of play taken into consideration. They Keep this up and they will earn a golf digest award. I will play again. Rates still very reasonable. Food very reasonably priced. Up north feel.
great shape great rate
I have been playing this track for 25 years . Right now is the best shape I can remember seeing it . only draw back would be the lack of sand in some of the bunkers.
best informative score cards i've ever seen
Challenging and the service carts on the course were great.
Staff was friendly and very informative.
Be back soon!!!!
Staff is rude
Our 4some drove an hour to golf the course. Online rate is more expensive than the specials the course runs. Rick is nice but the young, dark haired gentleman, is rude and dismissive. I would never come back due to his attitude and inability to make the guests feel valued. Oh and the bugs are horrible. Buzzing in your face/ear the entire round. Course was well maintained, but I wish the rude gentleman wouldn't have ruined my experience.
Rattle Run will rattle your cage
Very challenging for first time players.. some holes average but lots of difficulty with blind shots, hazards everywhere, and narrow fairways. Greens were good shape.
difficult but fair with friendly staff.
Course is challenging but set up well for both men and women players. I will play this course again.
This course is extremely challenging and well-maintained.
I really enjoyed playing this golf course. It was challenging and brought all my best game. Good golfer can't afford to make any mistakes in this course. Enjoy!
Challenging course
I've always liked Rattle Run. Whenever I get too confident I come play here to knock me down a couple notches. It is a very challenging course. Its got length and a lot of trees. This day the greens were a little slow, the ladies tee boxes were yet to be mowed and the bugs drove us crazy. We bought some bug spray at the turn, but I already had a bad Black Fly bite on my hand that later swelled up and hurt. Overall I like to play this course when we can get Senior rates around $20, today $25 was more than I wanted to spend. Average value.
