Bad just bad
I bought a group golfer for this course. About 30 minutes from my house, thought this group golfer deal would give me a chance to try it. Showed up and had my group golfer number and was told they didn't have a list from the website so they would not accept my number. I asked if I show them my certificate number and just wrote it down and updated the sheet once they got it. No. Paid 35 bucks to play a course that was covered in water. Two holes were shortened and pace of play was at 3:25 for 7 holes. Never said anything about the water on the course when I paid. They had 4 twosomes out and never paired anyone up. There were 8 carts on hole tee box. Course was already super short and didn't have any blue tee boxes out. Only white and green. Terrible experience. Staff was short and unfriendly. By not accepting the group golfer, they get paid full price from every person that shows up expecting to use the round they already paid for. Won't go back to use this group golfer. Not worth the wait or the course.
Good day in late November
Course was in good shape for late November. Greens were a little bumpy.
Need help with the leaves
Near impossible to find ur ball if just off fairway due to the amount of leaves. Leaves need to be blown into the woods
Great course, Horrible pace of play
The course is fun and quite beautiful but the staff seemingly doesn’t know how to manage their golf course. Played my first 9 with no one in sight, then the back 9 we are backed up 3 groups on hole 11 when they have 3 9s, seemingly no flow. Love this course, but if it’s anytime after 9am good luck with getting your round complete in a respectful time.
Buyer beware
Never been to a more unprofessional place of business. I show up for my usually early tee time as a single the group who’s set to tee off before me was a foursome and they were all hanging and talking with the starter till I eventually got to tee off 15 minutes after my scheduled tee time. No big deal we’re on the course golfing now. Well around the 2nd hole another cart pulls up to join them now making it a fivesome and they never allowed me to play through after 7 holes it’s been over 2 and a half hours. I then pick my ball up out of the fairway and drive past the green they have been standing on for 10 minutes to go to the next hole. As I’m teeing up all three of there carts come right next to my tee box and they ask why I passed them and I told them it’s taking a little too long I’m just trying to play my round well they then started to try and fight with me about my decision on passing them. Talked through my swing they were legitimately trying to fight me. I flag down a course Marshall and let him know the guys behind me are trying to escalate things as I’m not trying to go to jail for beating up an old guy on a golf course. The course Marshall informs me that they are employees at the golf course and not to take it seriously. I can assure you myself nor anyone I am in contact with will ever give this place another dime as long as they allow there workers to treat people with that much disrespect. Much nicer golf courses in the area for the same or lower prices.
Lush Greens and fairways
Cannot comment on prior reviews regarding pace of play because I played 9 early morning. However cart drop off looked busy when I returned. Greens we’re in great shape. Fairways are soft but pretty filled with unreplaced divots. Tee boxes were similar. Areas of grass were in great condition but a lot of divots. Overall course is in better shape than courses in the area. Price point was good for weekend morning.
Good potential unrealized
Nice layout with 3 9-hole courses. Clinton River was overflowing, which didn't have much affect on play, but creates hazards that aren't intended. Food choices are basically just 1 item (hot dogs the day I went) and a few snacks. Small driving range is ok. The unacceptable part was the pace of play. Our tee time at 8:30 was already backed up on the 1st tee by 12 people. 5 hours later (as a twosome!) we were on hole 15 and just left. They overbook too close together and didn't see any rangers to speed people up.
Pace of play terrible
It took us over an hour to play 3 holes yesterday. The fourth was backed up with 16 players from a womens league. Ranger suggested going back to play 1-3 again. We did not get to play 7-9. Absolutely terrible management of the league and tee times.
Storm
The day before we played there were major thunderstorms. We played around noon they did an incredible job getting things back in great shape lots of crew members cleaning everything up.
Very impressive and shows there commitment to keeping the corse well above average conditions
Course management
I played early Thursday with a group. We were the first ones out and played 9 holes around 2-2:15 minutes. Make the turn and there’s 20 people in front of us. I asked the started why this happens every time I play here and he said because we played too fast. They over book this course way too much. For the price it’s just unacceptable, that will be the last time I ever play here.
Enjoyable experience
Played West and South. Decent pace, conditions were nice, bar cart was out. Great day.
Just ok
Course layout is fun, bunkers were horrible. Almost unplayable and tee boxes and spots of the fairway the same. Real issue is the lack of etiquette from the rangers and starters. Just a bunch of grumpy dudes that drive behind across fairways and teeboxes while youre hitting.
Mike,
We are sorry you had an unpleasant experience at our facility. My name is Matthew and I am the person you spoke with. Group Golfer had yet to deliver the booklet which provides the roster list. Without the booklet or a hard copy of the voucher we were not able to accept it at that time. I apologized for this inconvenience.
We did have one shortened hole that day due to recent flooding, which left us with an 18-hole, par 70 golf course. After checking the starter sheets, groups were able to play 18 holes in 4.5 hours. While this is not an ideal pace, it was also cart path only that day because of the wetness and recent flooding. If you do encounter slow play at our course, we recommend contacting the Pro Shop or a Ranger so the problem can be addressed.
It is our hope you reconsider using your voucher and decide to come back another time so you are able to have a better experience at our course.
I encourage you to contact me at (586) 598-9500 ext 1.
