Good Value, Great Pace of Play

Pace of play was great. Was playing by myself and finished the round in two hours and fifteen minutes. Staff is very friendly. The course is in fair condition considering they recently aerated.

Nice Layout

Played after a heavy rain so there was not a lot of roll on the fairways. The course has a nice layout with beautiful homes surrounding it. Fairways and greens in excellent condition. Nice rolling terrain and interesting holes. Pace of play was excellent....we got our round done in 3 hours. I recommend this course especially if you can take advantage of a hot deal.

Excellent Layout and Friendly Staff

This was my first time playing Emerald Vale and what a pleasant surprise. Excellent conditions on the course and the customer service far exceeded my expectations with a staff member driving the cart out to the drop off zone as we arrived! We loved the views on the course and the greens were in excellent conditions n.

Very Nice

Moss Ridge is a well run course. Nice layout and friendly staff. Pace of play is generally good, but I happened to come after an outing which slowed play the last 5 or 6 holes. Course conditions are very good and I highly recommend the course.

Lots of Potential

This course has lots of potential with its layout along the Grand River. Unfortunately, the course maintenance is in very bad shape with blight on the greens and weeds growing in the bunkers. A shame really. If you get a good price on GolfNow I would play it otherwise....find a different course.

Rolling Terrain

Played by myself with pace of play that was fast at first, but slowed on the last 4 or 5 holes. Rolling terrain made play interesting and the course was in good shape considering the high amount of rain recently.. I would recommend this course to all level of golfers.

Nice Course by the Airport

We were taking a holiday in the area and decided to play this course since it was reasonably priced and you could rent clubs. The course is nestled in and around the jet center so there are runway lights dotting the course. The greens were in real good shape while the fairways were a bit spotty. The course is pretty short but we enjoyed our round. Staff was very friendly. We got our round in under 4 hours. Would recommend playing here if you are in the area.

It's Got to Be

It's got to be one of the top two or three courses in West Michigan, if not the best. The course conditions and layout are superb. Staff friendliness Is tops. I particularly like that (in summer) you get a bucket of balls for the driving range to warm up for your round. I played in November and felt like I had the course to myself and just enjoyed the fall colors. Senior days are on Tuesdays and if you qualify, you can play for $30. I get a kick out of the holes being named. I highly recommend this course. It's a bit out of the way, but well worth the drive. The club house has everything you need and quiite often at the turn there is a person grilling dogs and burgers. It's got to be the best!

Super Impressed

I played Binder Park for the first time with my wife. I was extremely impressed with the course conditions on the Marsh and the Natural. Unlike many courses this summer, I saw little dormant grass or blight. Greens were excellent and played true. I definitely will play again if in the Battle Creek area.

Wonderful Layout

Really enjoyed our round on the Marsh and the Natural. The landscaping and course conditions were excellent. Finished the 18 holes in 3.5 hours on a Friday morning which is pretty good. The holes were varied with some being spot golf while others were doglegs. I thought some of the holes played longer than the yardage indicated,. This is a great municipal course and would highly recommend it for others to play.

The Hills are Alive!

Nice course with lots of hills. It's pretty wide open for the most part, but be ready to be hitting the ball on side hills. The greens had been aerated and sanded so it is difficult to comment on whether the greens were fast or ran true. Nice course....staff in the clubhouse was not overly friendly...he wasn't rude....just not real friendly. I'm told they have very good restaurant, but it wasn't open when I was there.

Good Time

Played on my way to staying at the Yarrow Golf Resort. Weather was difficult with wind and some rain but the course was in good shape and we breezed through the round in about three hours and 15 minutes. I played it once before which helped. I recommend the course.

Interesting Course

The holes varied from meadow links style to holes cut through the forest to holes that had forced carries across swampy lagoons. Very interesting course to play. The clubhouse was just a large modular trailer but the course was in good condition. Many holes you needed to cross community development streets to get to the next tee box. It was fun to play. I golfed as a single and got the round done in two hours and 40 minutes. I will play it again when in the area which is good ways from anything! :)

Tough but Excellent!

Some tough holes, but a great layout. #11 hole is tight and long....requires accurate play. The course is in very good shape although there are a few stones in the sand traps. The staff is super friendly. I got to the course early in the morning and was the first off for the day. I haven't seen this many sand traps on a course for a long time, but I guess it makes up for the fact that there are few water hazards. Finished in two hours and 40 minutes....I love it when I can breeze through a course! I highly recommend the course and will be back.

Nice Course out in the Country

A nice course out in the country. Fairways were decent but the greens were very good and some had false fronts. Got tricked a couple times on the slope of the greens, but that is to be expected when playing a course for the first time. Nice little par 3 around the river. Fun to play since you can't get in too much trouble navigating to the greens. Very friendly staff as well. I'll be back for sure.

Great Day

Played with a couple of fellow recent retirees. Great weather and the course was in good condition....although the green speeds seemed a little inconsistent from hole to hole. Highly recommend this course to others. Have played before in lare summer and found the course to be in excellent shape.

Top Notch

Played for the first time. Lovely course with a river running around various holes on the course. It was very wet and the ball got little carry on the fairways. The staff had excellent customer service skills. I will be back for sure. Might be fun to do a stay and play with the casino only a short distance away.
