Loon Golf Resort

good course there was a lot of rain a few days before we played but the play was pretty good

We had a great time playing the course and it was beautiful. Only real complaint was the greens were a little beat up and there were some weeds growing here and there in the fairways, fringe, and even occasionally on the greens.

While golfing in Northern Michigan my wife and I came across The Ridge and decided to play it.

The area has 3 courses and we chose The Ridge.

It is a very challenging course with some narrow fairways, steep hills and valleys, assorted hazards, sand traps, and water.

Several tee boxes have large areas of brush between the tee box and landing area.

The tees, greens, and fairways were in very good shape.

The Ridge is the most challenging course of the three located here.

I would say for the intermediate golfer, this course is difficult. The fairway have plenty of room but, if you miss, you're in the trees. The course conditions were very good and pace of play was excellent. You have a lot of carries over marshes - a lot depends on the tees you hit from. At 79, I mostly used the gold tees which made the greens reachable on the second shot for par 4's and third shot on par 5's. The white tees, while not a whole lot longer, do mean that you have to be more accurate with your shots - that's if you can actually tell your shots where to land! Green true and clean - a little faster but not out of site.

This is a must play golf course. Great condition and a beautiful layout.

This was a beautiful course to play and was in excellent condition. Very challenging par 3’s.

Great course. Par 3’s are a bit challenging. The Club house and restaurant are great.

The sand traps were very hard due to a decent rainfall.

Only complaint. Greens were very slow. Everything else as excellent!

The course was well maintained. Pace of play was excellent and the staff was wonderful. We could not have asked for a better experience.

From the time we arrived at the course we were treated very well. The person at the bag drop was very professional. He not only loaded our clubs but also brought the cart over to the car when he saw us after signing in.

The pro shop personnel could not have been better. They welcomed us and, once they new we hadn’t played the course before, offered us some excellent advice. We were debating what tees to use. When he told us the course was tight with some relatively long carrys off the tee our decision was made.That advice definitely helped us have a very enjoyable day on the course

They also gave us a discount because we were seniors even the the online booking was for much higher rate.

We would gladly have paid the full rate. They even let us out before the scheduled time so we could be past a certain number of holes. As it turned out, a group of 30 turned out to be a group of 50 when they notified the course 2 days beforehand!

We would recommend this course to any and all golfers. But beware….accuracy is very important on this course. As the pro shop person told us….your 7,8 and 9 irons will become your best friend!
