Definitely needs to get greens fixed. Like putting on blacktop.

Awful conditions

This is an amazing layout but unfortunately the condition of the course is quite awful. Most of the greens have a fungus and need to be replaced. The fairways are not much better. I dont know if they have a plan to bring this course back to what it used to be, but it was a sad sight.

letting go

I wonder if this course will be open in a year or two. Every green is being destroyed by some type of disease.

Gail try us again. The course is in horrible shape. If you can play for free take it if not, don’t play it go to El Dorado pay big bucks and get a good course. I like the joint sorry it’s just they don’t have no money the water or fertilizer or mow it so it is what it is.

Greens need work

Nice course. Have to drive through some forest areas between holes, which is fun. Unfortunately, the greens are in terrible shape.

Worst Golf Course Ever Played

Absolutely terrible. The greens were completely unplayable—mostly cracked dirt with little grass and virtually no maintenance. The rough was overgrown and miserable to play from. The staff member we dealt with was very nice, but the course conditions were unacceptable. The discounted rates make perfect sense after seeing the condition of the course. I would not recommend this course to anyone.

Good…but…

First time playing the course. Staff is great and friendly. Not overly a challenge (played from the tips) but requires some thought for play. Conditions are mixed - Tee box and fairways are decent. Rough is deeper than most. Bunkers are ugh and some greens are in bad shape. Snack Shack was not open so no food or drink available on the course. The worst part was the pace of play. Waited on every shot - EVERY SHOT. The course layout makes this an attractive play. But a bit more maintenance love and a Marshall could make it a 4+ star course. Played it, but likely won’t be back until tangible improvement is done.

Challenge yet fun!

I really liked the course and every aspect of it. There were a few greens that had bad spots, but did not affect the experience.

Actually enjoy the wooded layout better than El Dorado

Played here in the last year with the wife and she did not enjoy it for whatever reason. I do remember the rough being very tall like they had not mowed it and at least a week or more, but it was the end of May. Yeah, the grass was at least 6 inches last year but this year see most of the course was mowed the rough that is. And they were at least 4 to 6 guys working on the course so. I zip through a nice older couple from Texas on the fourth or fifth hole and that was it smooth sailing followed another single and he was moving good so I was done in 2 1/2 hours. Yeah it’s a pretty long drive up here from northern Kent County about an hour and 10 minutes roughly, but with GolfNow and golf my points I only paid $5.78 so of course I spent more on gas so but whatever I played El Dorado a few weeks back and that’s very nice also and I scored a pretty good deal there and thank God for GolfNow cause it’s saving me a ton of money.

Gentleman in the clubhouse was a real nice guy. I had a great golf cart had a ton of power gasoline as far as the course has been it’s better than it was last year so I’m gonna greens have some burnout and some most of the traps are decent, but there are several that have weeds and what not in them. It’s funny how they they just can’t get it all up to snuff but fairways for the most part or nice future dried out spots greens for the most part were decent, but yeah, it’s been a hot dry summer so it’s been tough to keep courses up, but yeah, I gotta give kudos to the superintendent. Talk to him for a Minute And I would say if I can keep scoring deals like this. It’s worth a good hour drive for this course being built in the 50s it has a ton of character.

A gem in Cadillac

This is a very nice, challenging golf course in northern Michigan overlooked by many players on a golf vacation, and it's a real value with Golf Now.

Maintenance issues

Sand bunkers are becomg weed bunkers due to a lack of maintenance. The greens on the back mine are getting some type of disease.
