No GPS

Great layout but no GPS with several holes that are blond or have a lay up off the tee. There are map postings on each hole but no yardage to anything other than the green. A little high price for what you get. Enjoyed the layout but not the greens, as the were very slow. All that said it was a fun day of golf

Great overall!

Great experience for 4th of July week in Northern Michigan! Played 18 in under 3 hours (teed off at 12:50 on Wednesday after the holiday). Greens were excellent, bunkers were raked, fairways were manicured. Good value as compared with other courses in the area.

Great Fathers Day Course!

Grabbed a tee-time for 18 holes at 10:20AM. Pretty accurate timing. Despite what I read here, the pace was fine. Never felt rushed or slow. Every green was in great shape. Would rather have played the Tribute, but for half the price, this was well worth it!

Good time, despite the rain and wind

Great track.... staff were super friendly and helpful. We stopped in as we arrived in town earlier than expected, and was greeted promptly and sent out to play. The forward tees were a great treat for my wife (maybe too far), but she enjoyed the ease of jumping out of a car after 6 hours, and being able to play. I will return, nice layout.

Slow and poor conditions

Pace of play was atrocious! My friend and I (twosome) took 6hrs fue to a very slow foursome ahead who wouldn't let anyone play through. There was no ranger in sight to help with the situation, and one lady behind us said it wouldn't matter if we called because no one would do anything (she used to work there). The "greens" were like torched concrete. They were every shade of brown and dead and hard as granite. So were most of the tee boxes and the fairways were notnso great. Food at the turn was non existent in the clubhouse. We tried to get some brats, none, hot dogs...they only had 2 buns left (both were stale and as hard as the greens). The price was robbery at $55 per player for this dump. First and last time playing there.

Slow with no ranger

Nice layout; decent course for the money but pace of play was extremely slow with no ranger on the course.

A nice day of golf

Played 18 holes in 3 hours. For October, the courses is in very good condition. The greens had been aerated but putting was only slightly affected. The speed on the greens were faster than I regularly play on but enjoyable. If I get up to Gaylord, I will definitely play the course again.

Had a good time during tough conditions

We played on October 7th during a cold North wind with on & off flurries. However, the fall colors were on display and the fairways and greens where still in very nice shape. Overall the course was a real value using the Hot Deals tee time.

Scenic

My favorite GC in Gaylord area because the good deals you can get. This course is very scenic and well maintained with excellent greens. The pace of play is usually good but we had 4 not so good golfers in front of us playing a 2 on 2 scramble which takes alot longer than just walking to your ball and hitting. They measured and looked at every putt like they were at Augusta. The parts that makes me irritated is we were a twosome both lower handicapped golfers and they never waived us thru. By 18 they were 3/4 holes behind. Did not have a clue about golf etiquette The GC is great just a bad day
