Just like Northern Michigan Golf

A taste of Northern Michigan Golf in the Southeast area of MI. Front Nine fairways were beautiful and well kept - The back nine the Greens surpass The Fairway quality.
Things that can be improved; 1. Need Ball cleaner 2. Beverage Cart was average at best with the stuff they were selling. Not a great variety of drinks!! WATERS AND Gatorade were not Cold- Snacks were none existent. THE Cart girls were great!! And very friendly.
Better Signs for the hole. Locations 4. Maybe. Water- it was 90 degrees Areas of water jugs are high 5. Bag drop off area!!! 6. Did I say Beverage Cart / Snacks lol - I know they are small things - Small stuff like that is what sometimes separate courses. Catering to the Golf lee should be evident.
The Preserve does a great job but can be a top course if those things are improved I will return and being friends and maybe just maybe will love to do an outing Will see how the t goes. . .

Coyote preserve 7-6

Loved the coarse...glad went off back early as day got real hot real quick. The back is tougher. I loved the par 7 par 5 double dogleg. You best have your a-game. A little rough on green 17 but looks like they are correcting it. Overall "very good" track.

Great course, but not anything else

Let me first start of by saying I enjoy playing Coyote. I went twice in a week, but let me tell you the pace of play is the worst I have seen on any course I have ever played. Both times I played here it was PACKED. I have no issue with that, but both times when we got there way early for our tee time and they just pushed us to get to the tee box. Tee times are literally pointless. The first time we were held up and packed with 3 in front of us and 3 behind us. The starter basically was there to just collect the slip at the beginning. At one point the second time I was there, 3 foursomes and a twosome teed off in a matter of 15 minutes. The pace of play is absolutely ridiculous. I love how challenging the course is, but please, PLEASE make groups wait on the first tee to get some spacing.

Very well maintained course

The Coyote Preserve is extremely well maintained and is located in a scenic, woodland setting South of Linden. It has the feel of an “up north” course without the long distance travel! The course is quite challenging and fun to play! You won’t regret booking a t time at this course! My only criticism is that like many courses I’ve been to over the last few weeks, they seem to think the COVID pandemic is over. None of their staff in the pro shop or clubhouse wore masks and there were no safety measures i.e. partitions between customers and staff in the pro shop or clubhouse.

Worth The Drive

I was in Detroit area and looking for somewhere good to play. I figured I couldn't go wrong with Palmer.
I was not disappointed.

A very enjoyable round. No bev cart service on the day I played.

Great layout. Nice elevation changes.

Slow

3rd time playing this course, overall great track! But the overall pace of play is terrible here. I don’t know if it’s how the course is laid out but every time I played here it’s been a 5 + hour round.

GEM

This is one of the best golf courses in the state of Michigan. It is challenging sometimes and rewarding other times. But one thing is for sure, it is beautiful, amazingly designed and very well maintained. It was an hour drive that I will be happy to make again in the future.

This course is like Treetops

Great course. Very hard. Beginners beware! Very nice clubhouse staff. Beautiful. Like Treetops in the upper part of lower peninsula of Michigan. Ok only downside was they overbooked on the weekend and round took 5 1/2 hours.

Disappointed

I had read the reviews on Golf Now and had high expectations. Conditions of greens, tees, fairways were marginal. The Arnold Palmer layout is intriguing and challenging, especially the Par 5 16th which is impossible. But the marginal/poor conditions left me disappointed.

Challenging course with a wide variety of elevations and beautiful views. Planning your way through several holes will be beneficial as trouble can be found by being too aggressive on a few. One of my favorite courses for sure.

Top Motch

This course is challenging and the greens are unpredictable depending on where you land. Best course in the area. The staff is both welcoming and professional. I love this course.
