I love a good deal (isn't that why we're on GolfNow?!), and I love new courses. I'm a beginner with less than 25 rounds under my belt, but flat wide open courses bore me. I didn't have a problem with this course, but the men in the group did seem to struggle with the narrow fairways and woods. The greens seemed like they could use a little attention, but most of it was to blame on the wind and season (the cottonwoods seemed to be shedding.) The fairways and rough all seemed to be in good condition, and I only spotted a few broken tees and cigarette butts on the tee boxes. All in all I really like the types of established wooded courses that northern Michigan provides better than the farm fields in my local area, and this was no exception. And also worth the stop near Cadillac for dinner ;)

I just hit my one year anniversary of playing golf...last week I had my personal best on 9-holes on a course nearby. The nice guy working the desk warned me that probably won't happen today (it's much tougher)...but I ended up with my best 18-hole score yet! I know this has nothing to do with the course itself, but it leafy me with a great feeling! I think the difficulty level was perfect! Not too far one way or the other, challenging without being a headache and easy enough to not be boring! The staff was friendly. The guys hanging out in the club house on the turn were friendly. It was just an overall great day! I'll be back!

I'm new this summer to golf, but have been doing well "for a beginner"...this course was definitely my most challenging yet! But I like a challenge! I'll definitely be trying again! Everything was amazing, the staff, the members, the grounds! Beautiful place I never knew existed!
