Another Great Day at Pine Knob

Course was in very good condition given the poor weather in April. Greens were great - very fast and true. Tee to green very good. Secondary areas need a little more sunshine to get grown in. Traps were in really good shape…soft sand (may have been reworked in the off-season - great improvement). Overall very good - exceeded expectations.

Pine Knob Great Sunday

This is one of our favorite public courses in SE Michigan. Played Eagle and Falcon - course in very good shape. Greens on first 14 holes very fast and true - appeared the last several holes greens were not mowed at the same time as the rest and thus slower. Good pace of play for a Sunday morning. Starters are always helpful and friendly. There really is not a bad hole on the entire 18. Good risk/reward set-up - will play course several more times this season.

One of the Best Vegas Area Public Courses

Always enjoy playing Coyote Springs. Really great course lay-out - a very fair but challenging course. Greens very tricky but again fair. I always make a special effort to play this course when traveling to Vegas and I never leave disappointed. Course in very good shape (if I want to nit-pick the secondary areas a little dried out). Will continue to make the one hour drive to Coyote whenever visiting Vegas…one of my top 3 public courses in the area.

Like the changes

We have played Devil's many times over the past 3 years...one of the best values in the Oakland County area. Tee to green has been very good this year...greens in great shape and rolling true. Course recently changed #9 to a par 5 (relatively short...good chance to score) and #10 to a par 3 (this was a tough par 4 with a blind tee shot that has been eliminated...tee is at the top of the hill now for the par 3). If you enjoy a challenging course that is in very good shape and a great value be sure to take the drive up to Devil's Ridge.

Great Value for Southeast Michigan

Dunham Hills is a great track - rolling course with challenging layout. Tee to green the course is in really good shape.

Downsides are a lot of hardpan once off fairways and a very tight design - need to be careful to avoid incoming shots for adjoining holes.

We played a cold and rainy day...course drained well (actually still very dry). Really great greens - roll true and fast. One issue the day we played...very slow due to a couple foursomes playing a scramble...rangers need to push groups to finish in under 5 hours (we were close to 6 on a busy Saturday).

Overall a great value and a challenging course...well worth the cost.

Be Sure You Check Your Course Summary

Metamora is a little bit of a hike but well worth the effort. Really interesting and challenging course layout. Excellent greens...some of the best for public track in SE Mi. Lots of elevation change - course layout makes you think your way around the course...lots of risk/reward shots. One of the very best deals in SE Mi...

Only real downside is traps very thin - require a lot more sand (on day we played many traps had casual water several inches deep...it had rained heavily a couple days earlier but traps could use upgrading...

Employees are really friendly...take good care of you from the moment you arrive (history as a private course shows...)

Glacier On the Upswing

First, Glacier's new management is doing a really good job of bringing this course back from several years of neglect. Tee to green course condition has dramatically improve...IMO a 4 on a 1 - 5 scale.

Greens are comparable/better to other local public courses...greens roll fast and true - best feature of the course. Fairways in good shape.

Rough and areas off fairway still need attention in certain areas...some bare spots and areas needing TLC (many holes lined by homes relatively close to the course...); however, understand course conditions will continue to improve as management executes their 3-year plan. Traps could also use some additional sand and TLC...several are very thin on the sand quantity).

Friendly employees, driving range significantly improved/upgraded - facility upgrades are looking good. One of the best values available in the area...the weekday Senior special is especially attractive.
