Perfection in Design

I have been a golfer for almost 40 years, played in many places in the United States in both the mountains and flat terrain. I have never been more impressed with the designers vision, the use of the natural land, layout and play of a golf course in my life (incidentally, it was raining). If you are in the area and you don't experience this course you are missing a beautiful jewel.

The course is getting a bit rough

I've always enjoyed Dunmaglas. Nice layout, beautiful scenery, lots of wildlife. I rarely run into other groups and have never had a problem with slow play. On the negative side the course was looking a bit shaggy. Still a fun round but it seems like it is sliding a bit.

Target Golf/Tough for First-Timers

I have heard from quite a few players that have played this course. I have heard that it is some people's favorite course in the area and I have also heard some people say that they hate it. Being there, it is easy to see how opinions can be so strongly either way. The course is kept in great condition and the greens are extremely fair. Each hole possesses a lot of character. There are no bridging holes or wasted holes. On the other hand, the course is very tight and the greens are really small. It pays to be accurate and have the right club in your hands in terms of distance. It is very hard for first-time players to know where to aim or what club to take on certain holes. Having a GPS app came in handy for that. Overall, I don't think I'd go back for the price that I paid, but I would go back at a discount if I felt good about my game going into the round.

Don't do it!

This course is way over priced. We were greeted by a stressed out staff member behind the desk, pushed by three rangers because an outing was coming in and they mistakenly scheduled our teetime too late. They blamed this on Golf Now. We played through the sprinklers on the 18th hole. I'll never go back and tell everyone I know not to go.

Nice House, nobody home

Great views & layout for sure (house). Fast play because not many out there. Course conditions rough at best. Overpriced for sure. Played there a few times before and have seen it spectacular as well as in the dumps. My last visit for sure as there are tons of better options in the area.

DUNMAGLAS, the gem of Charlevoix

Was up with a 16 man crew, had a great time closing out the weekend at this hidden gem. It was our 6th round and this course was easily the second best track, trailing only behind forest dunes.

Difficult course, but it was a blast. Greens need some TLC, Everytging rolled true they were just a tad slow. My 5th time on the course and I always highly recommend a play here. Shockingly, the course does not get played as much as it shoukd be.

Beverage cart kid is an animal. The hooligans in front of us had a fifth of honey jumps for birdie purposes, left it on the hole and the cart kid returned the birdie juice to the squad, real class act.

Go play this course, you'll be happy you did.

Question Mark

The course covers lots of real estate, and offers some panoramic views of Lake Charlevoix and even Lake Michigan. Some holes are among the best in the North. Many challenging holes with "target" golf expectations. Not as manicured as some in Northern Michigan, but well worth playing at the right fee.

Great course, not as well known.

The course was very enjoyable to play, great views, and a very fun and challenging layout. This, is a course that you don't here a lot about, but well worth playing.

Not worth the price compared to other courses

The course was not in very good shape - the greens were inconsistent, fairways were rough with 'critter' damage, and some of the tee boxes needed mowing.

Based on the other courses we played the same weekend, this was not good value for the amount we had to play and the condition of the course.
