Can never get a tee time here

I’ve called all throughout the golf season to play here and the guy who works there says they either have something going on or doesn’t answer the phone. Claimed one time that he had an outing going out at 4pm on a Wednesday. I’ll be taking my business somewhere else what a joke.

Great layout and Value, but Lost the Greens recently

We like this challenging layout, love the price and staff but the greens have developed several spots that look like fungus or rot. Had to move balls right and left on greens to avoid putting through the pot holes. We hope its temporary because we really do like this place, but not with those greens. sorry Bay. Valley, may not be back for awhile.

Championship Course Outstanding Value

Always enjoy our time on this course, accommodating friendly staff , layout is a good as you’ll find , challenging mix of long short left right , water sand trees conditions are pretty good. Least expensive course around, if don’t expect brand new carts or a fancy pro shop you’ll be ok.

Resort????

If you like resort like golf courses, lodging, amenities, then this is the place for you to NOT come. How can they vlam this to be a “resort”is mind boggling. Lodging building looks nice from the outside however, the golf course leaves something to be desired. Very poor or lake of “next hole” signage especially after hole #2 as the cart pTh with lead you to #9. #3 is like a 1/4 mile down the other way with no signage.

Fun round

Played Bay Valley for the first time. Very interesting layout and with all the recent rain the course was in good condition. Greens were soft and held nicely. My wife and I played this as a a Hot Deal so the price was right. I will look to play here again.

This course has made huge strides in returning to its glory from several years ago. Greens and tees are in great shape. Always liked the layout of this course, but the extra watering has really paid off. Clubhouse needs major work, but who cares for the 1 minute you are in there to pay.

Day with brother on the course

Played many times before. Greens were very hard. Pace of play was good. Bunkers, as most in Michigan, are not fit to be hit from. Tough flag positions.

Great place great staff

Been golfing here for 20 years. I have seen the good the bad and the ugly...and now coming back to the good thanks to some personal changes. The clubhouse staff is some of the best around. The greens are in great shape, fairways are coming back, bunkers need some work and it all takes time. Keep up the good work
