Good times at Hunter’s Ridge

We got a hot deal and played at 4:10 with no stopping other than to look for an errant shot in the heather. The pace was fantastic at my wife and breezed through a 3.5 hr round. The greens are challenge and some of the pin placements were an extra challenge as a 3 putt was recorded more than once. The fairways were cut nice and were very nice. The greens were soft and quick. We enjoyed our round and look forward to playing the coarse again this summer.

Worth the trip

Hunters Ridge is a links style course that challenging but fair for a twice-a-week golfer. Price for seniors is good, course was in fine shape, though a little soggy from recent rains. It's a good measure of our still developing games. It's a remote location with a getaway feel. Bring extra balls if you slice or hook! That's part of the challenge.

Hidden gem

Links at Hunter's Ridge is a hidden gem. Best value for a course in that condition. Big tees and greens, in great condition. Fairways were in good condition. You could see Jerry Matthew's all over this course. Will play again for sure

1st Time at Hunters Ridge

This little gem is tucked back in what seems to be nowhere Howell and it’s amazing.. This course has some of the best greens I have ever played on and the course conditions were amazing. I got a hot deal on GN for $33 and it was as nice as courses in the Metro Detroit area and surrounding counties that are double and triple the price.. It is a must play

Great Course for the Money

I love this course. The fairways and greens are kept in great condition. Two of the Par 3's are elevated and play harder than they look. 18th hole coming into the log cabin club house plays like a championship course. Very cool. Prices for golf and cart are very reasonable. Bar prices are reasonable too.

Great day of Golf

What a well kept course. I had heard good things but wow the greens were perfect and the fairways and tee boxes were awesome. Many other courses are not working this hard to keep things green and in great shape. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. This was my first time playing here and I will be back. Thank you all and thanks Mark you are doing a great job keep it up.

Just a gem of a course!

Back when I lived in the area, this was my favorite course to play and I'm so happy to see that it hasn't changed since I moved and the course has new Ownership. The starter was super friendly and personable. The course, simply put, was in immaculate condition and the greens were rolling as pure as pure can be. If you have the chance to play this gem of a course, please try to find the time to do so. The only "downside" to my round - which the course staff had nothing to do with - was a foursome of gentlemen that didn't appear to want to let singles play through. So the pace of play was on the slower side, particularly on the back 9.

Hidden Gem!

Hunters Ridge is one of the best courses in Livingston County. I really enjoy playing courses that are not surrounded by houses and is a great escape for great golf and views around every corner.
