It Was...Okay

I was expecting more. Nice people playing the course, nice staff. But layout was a bit odd. Fast greens, tricky rollout areas around greens, too. Some holes you wondered which way was the green? Which way is the next tee? It looks like a nice course for this community of on-course homes.

Fun Course Around Lake Bernadette

First time playing here. Enjoyed it and only took thrre hours for 18 holes. They do need to rebuild some of the old concrete cart paths. New asphalt paths would be great!

Love This Donald Ross Course

Always a pleasure to play Rackham. I've been coming here for 50 years and it's in the best shape ever. Pace was a bit slow due to pokey threesome ahead of us. Ranger talked to them but that made no difference. First-timers thinks the course looks easy but there are some long par fours and the wind always sweeps across the course to add to you challenge.

Second Time Here...Still Love It

I've been visiting Houston about 1/2 dozen times over the past year and have only had the opportunity to play golf twice. Both rounds at Clear Creek. It's a very nice facility. Course is definitely challenging. Pricing is great. I'll be back again. Temperature was in high 60's. Back home in Detroit it was in the teens. This is better!

Challenging Course

This was my second time playing here and I liked it more than my first time. Layout is different with lots of elevation changes. Only issue I have are the greens.They are kind of hard and need some age on them to be more receptive. Also there isn't a level putt on the course. So putting is pretty tough.

Low Round of The Year

Staff organizing patrons to get to first tee were less than helpful. But we got out and had a great time. My low round of the year made the day better.

Perfect Day for Golf

I always enjoy my rounds here. Front nine back-up is common on holes 7 and 8. Poor design. Once you are past those holes round goes smoothly.

Always A Fun Course To Play

It was hot! But the course was in great shape and I got to play with three great gentlemen. We teed off around 10:30 a.m. but the only downside was the traps had not been raked. About halfway through round a worker was finally getting to it. Management needs to speak to this guy. He was oblivious to golfers approaching green listening to music with ear buds and no hard hat. We don't want to kill the guy and he should have better sense to know golfers can't always control their shots.

Enjoyable Course

I always like playing The Links at Crystal Lake. If it's at all busy the front nine is slow because of the odd layout. The only problem I have with this course is the poor condition of the sand traps. Adding sand would be a big help. But if the management would just rake them every morning it would be a big improvement. Most are hard pan dirt.

Anytime of Year is Great at Warren Valley GC

I keep reviewing WVGC and saying how much I like this course and I consider it my home course. Even though I live in Royal Oak, it's well worth the drive once or twice a week to play these Donald Ross designed East and West courses.

My dream is to see the traps rebuilt and restored to the way Donald Ross laid them out in the 1920's.

Warren Valley...Another Donald Ross Gem

I love these two 18 hole Donald Ross-designed courses. However, there is one giant request I have. Restore and rebuild the sand traps to the way Donald Ross had them in the 1920's. The traps were restored and rebuilt at Roseland Golf & Curling Club in Windsor, Ontario a few years ago. The course is now fabulous and genuinely reflects Donald Ross' original layout. Filling in traps at any course to speed up play was never a great idea. Make Warren Valley Great Again!
