Reviews
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.
Awesome course
Food and beverage service marginal. Not from service but quality and selection. No beverage cart. Wish they had told us.
MP 7-7-26
All great except $11 for a hot dog (includes chips) was overpriced.
Manitou Passage
Great Course. Great layout. Very scenic and each hole was laid out great. Course was in excellent condition and would recommend this course to anyone
Well appointed and great value
Greens were sanded but puttable and no ballpark issues on any green. Course maintenance is excellent and layout very playable for a variety of skill levels. Will definitely return. Chicago
Spring 2026
The course just opened for the season and in the condition we expected. Not as lush as it is in the summer but that’s to be expected. We really enjoyed the course and the hot deals rate was an amazing value.
NW Michigan must play list.
Manitou is a well kept and nicely laid out course. The greens roll true and on the quick side of the scale. Well placed bunkers are in good condition. It's worth the money and should be considered if you're in NW Michigan.
Bliss
My favorite course in this area.
Great condition. A challenge for all levels of play.
A “hidden” gem
Incredible layout and architecture. Fairways and greens are nearly perfect if tee boxes a bit beat up. You have to remember that these folks don’t have a huge maintenance budget so, adjusting for that, the conditions are fantastic. A tough track from back tees and just a really fun day out. Need to get draft beer back in the otherwise beautiful clubhouse!
Great track!!
Great course and happy I chose this one to play while on vacation in the area. Fairways were great and green rolled very nice…a few more pitch marks than I expected. Tee boxes had a normal amount of destruction for this time of year. Narrow fairways, strategically placed bunkers and lots of elevation change made it as challenging as it is aesthetically appealing.
