Great time! Great price!
Storms had just ripped through the area the previous day and the course was in great shape still. I play this course every year in an outing and it’s always a good time. Staff is great course is great!
Awful Design
This course was designed by the original owner that had little knowledge of golf architecture. The results reflect this novice approach. At lease two holes that are completely unplayable. Go to a driving range for a much more worthwhile outing.
It doesn’t get any better!
Spectacular layout.! The par fours collectively are as tough as you will find on any course anywhere! I’ve played courses around the world and this Is still my favorite and it’s right in my backyard. Thank you Rattle Run...!!!!
Revamped
First played course 25 years ago and it was great. for some reason it started to go downhill to the point it was no longer a place to play. Heard that they were trying to fix it up and 3 years ago started playing it again. While it isn't the place it was as new it is certainly trying. Staff is friendly in pro shop, grounds crew will tell you about the improvements they have seen and are eager for more. Rangers are helpful and informative while maintaining pace of play. Although not the perfect course yet it is one that is competitive and fun to play. And the main part is it improves every year. Will be back
Gorgeous course!!! Great staff. Wonderful golfing experience.
Amazing layout. Nice greens. Lush fairways. Tree lined nirvana!!! Great value.
Feel of northern Michigan
Course was in great condition except for a few tee boxes. They need some TLC. On many of the holes it felt like I was up north. Wonderful! The staff is very nice and the food is good!
Fun Course
I really enjoy playing this course. I just wish I was a better golfer because it is fairly challenging. Sort of what you find in northern Michigan.
Excellent condition except for the bunkers
Very nice lay-out ( was on the list of "top 75 you can play" a couple decades ago). Greens and fairways are in quite good condition. Some tee boxes(too little grass) and the bunkers (mud, not sand) need attention
First time playing the course with my husband and I'm anxious to play it again! The course had the feel of an "Up North" course----scenic, wide fairways, challenging and fun!!! The course was green and lush with the exception of a few of the tee boxes. We'll definitely be back!!!
Excellent layout; improved conditions
Course is in much better shape than a few years ago. Back to the quality it was when it made "Golf Digest's top 75 you can play" when the course opened up years ago
A beauty of a course
I really like this course - the course is among the forest -?trees, streams, nature (grey heron) and a great day away from it all. Lots of elevation changes- water hazards etc. Excellent course!
Fun Layout
Played this course on a busy Sunday afternoon. Found the pace of play was reasonable. The important things, the greens and fairways were in great condition. Some of the tee boxes were beat up but playable. The cart path is rough in places and we found some little things that would improve the course's image like, filling dry ball washers and replacing the towels on the ball washers were neglected. The staff was friendly and accommodating.
Rattle Run
The course itself is a decent layout and was in playable conditions. The greens were smooth but extremely slow.
The pace of play was atrocious. Prior to the start of our round I overheard the starter in the pro shop say.”I’m the starter today and I’m not going out there.” The resulting incompetence showed. We had a twosome and a foursome attempt to jump in front of us while we were on the tee box! Groups were tied up all over the course. Golfers were jumping onto the back 9 to speed up due to a lack of management. I would not recommend this course of pace of play is important to you.
Wow! Superb Course!!
This is just a fantastic course and hidden treasure. It is challenging and beautiful. Every shot is important. You will never be bored.
It was hot so the ground was pretty hard and fast. Greens were in good shape!
Great Course!
My wife and I played Rattle Run last week - and thoroughly enjoyed it! We arrived a little late because of bridge construction, but the staff were very understanding and accommodating. Course conditions were excellent...Greens were a little slow - but it had rained pretty hard the night before...The break given for the forward tees was greatly appreciated...All in all, a very pleasurable experience...We'll be back.
Sounds like someone wasn’t playing very good that day
