Nice

Shorter course but not necessarily easy. Front 9 a bit more open back 9 tighter. I enjoyed my round. Course management and shot selection important. Well maintained friendly staff.

Fun little course.

It is a short track but it has some pretty interesting holes. The back nine definitely has more character to it. The course was in good shape throughout. The greens are deceptively sloped and made for some challenging putts. Overall a fun round of golf.

Good course for grinders

If your not a pro, I recommend "the Pines" the front is mostly open but has a few blind tee shots to contend with. The greens can be tough several are crowned or titled towards the fairway. The back has 3 par 3s that are not easy. One downhill blind, one uphill blind and the third has a very big tree in a very bad spot, it also has the most challenging green on the course. I love the 16th hole with its green carved out of the side of a hill and 17s tee shot has gotten more difficult with tree growth over the years. With a Golfnow price I love to play this course.

Family friendly course

Classic grip and rip course. Not much trouble anywhere on the course. Several drivable par 4's and all three par 5's are reachable in two. Great course for families with kids as it is a short track with easy greens. Overall, course is in excellent condition and the staff is very friendly. I highly recommend this course.

Well maintained, playable course for beginners or high handicap

The course was an enjoyable way to open the 2013 Michigan Golf season. The weather was cold (40) with a little wind...good way to start golfing from the 4-5 month winter layoff. Courteous, friendly staff and a nicely maintained relatively easy course...enjoyed the day immensley...took my 18 year old grandson who is a very good athlete but very inexperienced golfer...he loved it!!!!!
