Average Hole Difficulty
This course went through bankruptcy and the new owner is doing an uneven job. The fairways are in good shape. The greens are pretty good. The bunkers suck - sand varies from bunker to bunker, often there is one single broken rake for a bunker, some have weeds growing, it appears the course has not raked the bunkers in some time, leaving it to the players, who also do a sucky job. Some tees are fine and others torn up. Course was full and no beverage cart or water jugs on the course. Large clubhouse but the only food are some hot dogs on an electric grilling rack. It appeared the only two people connected to the course was the young lady in the clubhouse and a guy shuttling range balls. No rangers or any presence of management on the course. We played for $18 each with a bucket of balls thrown in (Groupgolfer.com) so the cost was equivalent to the golfing experience. Nice design. Nice setting. Very uneven service and maintenance. For $20 or less play it. More than $25, there are better values for the dollar. A really great course, and an amazing value. I agree it is a bit out of the way for a lot of folks (about 30 min west of Ann Arbor), but it really is worth the drive. The course is always a challenge, always in excellent condition, and the holes provide a variety of looks and feels. One thing to note: while they do provide useful hints and range books, it can be tough the first time you play it (there are a number of blind drives, and a lot of tiers/ridges on the green that are not obvious on approach). But that's not all bad, as you will almost certainly want to return! Agree with other reviewers, this is an excellent golf course. It was designed by William Newcomb, so I'd expect no less. Played the course Monday, mid-morning and the pace of play was slower than I'd like. Think I was the youngest guy out there by at least 15 years. Glad that they let me walk the course. Great course. You won't find a better value in southeastern Michigan. It's a bit out of the way, between Jackson and Ann Arbor, but the level of course conditioning and value are well worth it. Some of the greens are tremendous in difficulty - but always fair. Your Review
