Hole 1 Photo submitted by mjbrady on 05/25/2013
Beautiful course! Would definitly go back.
Very very nice. Picturesque and challenging. A must play.
This course is in absolutely terrible condition. It looks as if it has been going down hill for several years.
From tee box, to fairways, to greens, this course is one of the poorest courses I have ever played. The fairways are mostly dead. The tee boxes have been dead for years and taken over by weeds. The greens have severe areas of snow mold kill off.
easy to get to and nice club house
greens and fairways were very nice had a very nice round of golf
Great
Great, beautiful course. Friendly staff. Fast greens
fairways and greens
enjoyed playing this course and looking forward to playing it again
Nice course for the $$$
Great fairways and greens. Some rough and some hardpan off the fairways. Good value with twilight rate after 1 PM.
Great deal for $48.00
Cedar River is a fine golf course. I love the short par 4 on the back. We had a great time and were able to play in 4 hours. Overall a very nice experience.
Well maintained course
We found the course to be very well maintained; we enjoyed our experience and played in just under 4 hours. We were paired with two other golfnow players - overall a pleasant round.
Beautiful Layout, well maintained, friendly staff.
Beautiful golf course layout and condition with generous fairways and greens. Near Shanty Creek Resort.
very nice course playable for the novice as well as experienced golfer.
Nice maintained course, staff were friendly, no problems with reservation and started on time, playable for the novice golfer as well as experienced golfer, Had difficulty finding the course as GPS sent me to the main lodge instead of to the course. Only problem was no cart lady on course and temp was in the 90's the day we golfed, water on the course helped. Able to call in order at the turn but was backed up due to large group in front of us. Overall nice experience would recommend to a friend.
challenging
We enjoyed playing! The course was in tlp-top shape. Every hole offered another challenge. Lots of elevation changes throughout the course.
We wll be playing again in the future.
great course plays shorter than 6300.
course was in great shape and the staff was very helpful. There was a lot of play, but we moved right along.
Looking forward to playing this course again
Really enjoyed playing this course. Challenging, yet not too difficult. The course layout was very scenic in a wooded area with just enough bunkers and water to make you place your shots. I look forward to playing this course again.
Great Up North Course
I was impressed with the course and decided to play it in my quest to golf all 50 of the Michigan Digest Top 50 public courses in the state. It falls at #16 and seems about right given where others I've played are ranked. It feels like an up north course as it's mostly treelined, but plays slightly more forgiving than most up north courses. There are a couple holes with a river running through them (hence the name) and the sound alone from the tiny rapids makes the course memorable. Overall I give it an A-
Great course. Great value.
Excellent course. Tee boxes, fairways, and greens were all in great condition. Service was very friendly.
Great value through use of Golf Now. I felt like I was playing a great, top condition golf course for a bargain price!
Hawk's Eye GC is in great condition from tee boxes, to fairways, to greens. Only complaint would be that some holes need to provide first time golfers with info about blind shots or where they can drive through the fairway. Another issue is needing an additional club or two when going uphill. But various holes offer challenge and interesting layouts.
Very nice course
If you can get a discounted rate this course is very worth it. The greens were immaculate, very true. Very playable course and fair if you don't hit a perfect shot.
The staff was very friendly though I didn't see the beverage cart girl the entire back nine. Part of that may be due to pace of play being very quick.
Very challenging and nicely maintained
Legacy is an extremely challenging course that requires a tee shot in the fairways or prepare yourself for lost balls. The course was in excellent shape with very difficult greens. I think I will return when my game improves. Lost a few balls!
Fun, Fun, Fun
awesome course, great layout, fantastic price, what more can you ask for?
Don't let the price fool you.
Very difficult layout with many trees and twisting greens!
