Reviews
Value
I stayed in Traverse City for a month and played Manitou passage 8 times. It was the best value around because of golf now hot deals.
Excellent course in the middle of nowhere
Staff and GM are super friendly . Definitely recommend this course who is an avid golfer who is looking for hidden gems
Very nice course
Interesting layout but not tricked up. Greens were fast and rolled true. The tee boxes on the par 3s were a little beat up but otherwise excellent conditions. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful.
Stunning course. Quirky carts.
Pros: Layout, hills, views, condition, challenge. Absolutely beautiful.
Cons: No range. Carts that have faulty technology and annoying messages. For example: every time my wife wanted to know the distance to a bunker or something off the tee, the gps system wouldn't tell you because it thought we were off the path.....but clearly we were on the path :)
A fine day indeed
No driving range per se but came to play not practice.
Nice people all around. Paired w nice guy.
Brat at the turn was solid
Plenty of places to loose (and find) balls
Greens and fairways were all but perfect.
Manitou passage
Had a great time playing this course- beautiful layout. Greens were a little beat up, and unfortunately, there was no beverage cart on the course which we would have like to see.

Played with my son and son in law and had a great time. Beautiful course and staff was great. Will be back to play again.
Nice day on a nice course
Play was slow with several groups with beginning golfers. A ranger to keep play moving would be welcomed. Also, a beverage cart for on course refreshments on a hot day would have added to the experience.
Great Course
Excellent condition, full GPS in carts, great staff,
Everything was really nice
Layout is great. Interesting but not too hard. Course and greens in excellent condition. We were caught behind a slow group but they let us play through at the turn. Got around in just about four hours.
