Love this course. Very good value. Pace of play was not good. Waited on every shot. Wish people would play quicker around the greens.

The Legend was a great experience
Booked the course to play for our vacation, the staff was very impressive and friendly, course conditions were great. Fairways, greens and tee boxes were in great shape. Only complaint would be that a few of the bunkers were a little wet and played more like clay than sand. Other than that no complaints at all. We had a great time, on a truly beautiful course.

Excellent day with my sons
Course was in good shape and a beautiful round. Greens were a little slower than anticipated but rolled true. Tees were flat for the most part and staff was excellent

Cedar River
Excellent facilities and staff. Course was immaculately manicured. Fairways were wide enough for the casual golfer but afforded advantages for a well placed shot. Greens were fast but also held long irons. I would recommend this course to all levels. A top ten public course in the state of Michigan.
