Dunmaglas Golf Course

I have always wanted to play the course but the price was far too expensive, even on GolfNow. Many of my friends had stated that it was always over priced. My suspicions on this course were also heightened by the fact that the parking lot always seemed near empty, even at peak golf time. However, the $40 fee was the lowest I had seen in years, so I gave it a go. I really liked the layout of the course and some spectacular views of Lake Michigan but that is where my likes end. I was driving the ball accurately this day, I could see how the tight fairways would cause fits for an average golfer. My difficulties were in my approach and on the greens. At a 12 Handicap, these two parts of the game really tested me. Again, I liked the layout but a bit too difficult for me. The course conditions were atrocious. Fungus on most of the greens. The first cut of rough had dandelions 6 inches long, (on Memorial Day weekend to boot). I needed my weed wacker before I hit several shots. The only way I would play this course again, would be for a far lower price ($20-$25). Course is being mismanaged and $0 being spent to improve the condition.

Loved the great views of Lake Charlevoix and Lake Michigan from some of the holes. The course could have been in a little better condition, but it is still early in the season. Some very interesting holes, lots of sand traps. Eleven traps on number eleven!

Hadn't played Dunmaglas in about 4 years. Back then I felt it was going downhill. Upon returning last week I found the track to be very well maintained and definitely worth a play. Amazing views, fun quirky holes and always a challenge. I'll return back next year for certain. Pleased to see the place being taken care of.....this course is a nightmare for 1st timers so try to play with someone who has some course knowledge. Course goes out and doesn't come back until the 18th so stock up in clubhouse before heading out.

Very nice condition. Green were a little slow but nice.

The staff was friendly, the course was lush, and the weather was excellent - what more could you ask? Even better, there was hardly anyone there on an August Sunday, so we were able to zip around in less than 4 hours without rushing.

COARSE IN AVERAGE CONDITION BUT THE COARSE FEE IS MUCH TOO HIGH

Love this course! It is not only beautiful with gorgeous views of Lake Charlevoix, but provides many interesting challenges!

I have been playing Dunmaglas since 1992. Although my skills have diminished significantly, I always look forward to my trip to Petoskey, Michigan and several rounds at Dunmaglas. This course was a challenge for me as a single digit player, but the beauty always draws me back as a 20 handicapper. I would describe the course as rustic. The course design allows you to feel like you are the only foursome on the course... pace of play is usually in your hands.

The staff at Dunmaglas is incredibly friendly and accommodating. If you get a chance to be served by Dale you will appreciate his style and sincerity for you to enjoy your experience!

From the tips, it is all you can handle!

Worth the drive!!!

Like most of the layout. A couple of holes had sharp doglegs and had no idea what laid ahead. This course has great views of the Charlevoix area. Greens were hard to read. Gentle breaks you can not pick up looking. But they putted very good. Fairways and tees were in top notch condition. I would go back and play this course.

Good course with some good views of Lake Michigan. No houses on course

Solid course with great views. Course was in decent shape. This is a 50 dollar course not a 100 dollar course ( which is the regular rate ). Didn't see another golfer the whole time in the course so we were a little confused when we only saw the beer cart twice during the round. Overall pretty good experience and I would play again.

cool course, gets bad rep for being tough, but it is very fair. Lots of elevation and smallish greens. Staff is OUTSANDING. They took care of us through the whole round.

This was our first time playing this course so we didn't know what to expect. The views were fantastic. The course was a little dry but otherwise in good shape. Greens were very slow and took some getting used to. I would not recommend this course to anyone who has difficulty walking distances and up and down hills. Many of the green areas have long up hill climbs to reach the green. Very challenging course.

We really like this course ... Lots of variation in each hole .

Very enjoyable layout. Good challenges off the tee. Greens in good shape. Fairways could have been better. Glad we did not pay the full price.

Upon pulling in parking lot and seeing clubhouse, I didn't think this was a $99/round golf course. The clubhouse/driving range were not to the scale of the course itself. The t boxes weren't in great shape, but the rest of the experience was great. Very pretty views, greens and fairways in good/great shape.

Played with a group of 16 for a three day weekend. Most in the group agreed this was our least favorite course for several reasons. It is extremely difficult as the trees have overgrown the fairways over the years. The course plays very long and is in so-so condition at best, especially the greens. It is just no fun when you spend all day looking for your ball. Better and less expensive options everywhere around Petoskey/Charlevoix.

Very nice course with very little traffic on the weekdays. Fairways somewhat open. Be careful though, some great drives will get lost if hit "over the hill". Challenging course, can be a long day for beginners but a great course for views and that "Up North" feel.

The course is challenging, but fair. Many great views with elevation changes to match. Great course and value

Greens and tee boxes were not in the greatest shape!
