Not what we expected.

Could not quite finish the round because of a very slow and inconsiderate group 2 groups ahead of us eventhough we started our round at 2.30 ish. The course is surprisingly rough in many areas especially around the greens. The greens were very slow and really need cutting. We played in far cheaper courses this winter with better greens. In our opinion this is a 50 to 60 dollar course so there’s lots of those in area to play earlier in the day rather than spending twice that on Falcon Fire.

Really tired course.

We had two foursomes teeing off around 2 PM on a Saturday and finishing up at 6:30. Both the clubhouse and pro shop are closed when we get in and we all wanted to use a bathroom as we drove across town to play this course. The guys said we can’t get into the clubhouse and that if the guys want to to go behind the building and the ladies are out of luck. Very unprofessional place. The course is rough. Very little grass on fairways and really rough around the greens with ruts and bare dirt. The greens though weren’t too bad. Bunkers were basically hard pan even around the greens. We usually play this a few times every winter but I can say it’s off our list now.

Nice course for the money

Usually enjoy playing this course. Pace of play was excellent with our fastest round this winter at 3.5 hours. Fairways are decent but a little too tight as grass is a little sparse in a few areas. The greens need cutting and rolling as they were not very consistent. All in all it was a good course to play.

Almost every Green is elevated

I like this course for its rolling fairways but do find the greens are over elevated on several holes. Very challenging for amateurs but all in all it’s a fun course to play. There’s not a lot of grass around the some of the greens making chipping challenging when the green is so elevated. They need to do something with the 18th hole as there are a couple of options to play to two different greens. Possibly eliminate the first green and create more fairway to the back green or something. All in all it’s worth the trip to play it.

Decent condition and layout

This course is not the best of conditions but for the money is a good one to play. I especially like the par 3’s as they all have their own challenges. The greens were rather quicker than I expected but were in good shape.

Not quite there yet.

First time playing since it reopened. Always loved the layout. Still very little grass off the fairways and needs a lot more reseeding etc. The greens are actually in decent shape. Our tee-off was a half hour behind and the starter seemed to keep letting twosomes pair up and go ahead of us. Then the groups were very slow and had little golf etiquette. Not sure when or if we will go back.

Don’t waste your money

Haven’t played this course since before Covid. Got a hot deal so thought we would try it. Wow what a mess. We couldn’t believe how they have let this place deteriorate. The greens are really undulating and fun but it’s a shame how they have been let go. Almost unplayable. Fairways are in poor shape and very hilly. Some of the layout and the design of some holes don’t make a lot of sense. No clear landing areas and oddly placed bunkers. All the par 3 were ridiculously long at 170 to 200 yards. We played 20 rounds of golf on various courses in the area this winter and this course was by far the worse.

Nice course but not managed well

This is a decent course and in good shape but allowing groups of five players is unprofessional and not fair to those of us who like to play by the rules. We followed a fivesome and it slowed us down. It was also surprising how you had to keep your head up with players hitting wild shots on other fairways on a course where fairways are pretty generous. Also one ranger was driving around stopping to tell dirty jokes while groups were waiting at tee boxes. We basically told him to get lost. Staff are pretty bush-league here.

This is a nice course but needs irrigation

Generally like playing this course. The greens are undulating and in very good condition. But found them to be very slow and in need of cutting or rolling. The tee boxes are so dry it is difficult to get the tee in the ground. It has some very interesting holes which make it fun to play.

Decent course but prepare to wait for a cart

A rather long course but in decent shape for this time of year. Good greens with some pretty good plateaus to putt to. Play was a little slow but not ridiculous. The main problem with this course is a shortage of carts. Generally have to wait for one but it did not delay our tee time much. The cart coordinator for lack of a better term thinks he should be tipped for handing you keys to a cart. That’s all he does. He doesn’t load clubs or doesn’t even clean them that well but he called our group cheap for not tipping him. So I gave him a buck to stop his whining. Not very professional.

Really nice greens

The greens and fairways are in great condition. The course is designed very well using the elevations to make it a really challenging course. The pace of play is very slow as we had our first 5 plus hour round this season. Also the bathrooms on the course are closed but no one tells you.

Fairways the actually have grass on them.

We are snowbirds and usually play this course annually. Have not been here since Covid lockdowns but what a pleasant surprise. Fairways and greens were very good condition though may need cutting. They had a lot of rain which likely prevented cutting.grass and most bunkers were unplayable.
The only staff we met was excellent. A couple negatives are the condition of the bunkers and the restaurant is closed .

Glad to be back

First time back since reopening and worth it. The condition was very good greens could use a little work but fairways and bunkers were great. Staff are especially helpful and courteous. Got rained out after 15 holes which was a bummer.

Marshal needed

This is a rather average course which is a little overpriced. Slow play and no marshalling on the course is what comes to mind when I rate this course. The group in front of us of young people hit multiple shots each off the tee and would drive their carts right up to the fringes of the greens. It was painful to watch as we try to respect a course and other players.

Nice course with tough greens

This is a nice challenging course but the pin placements made the greens extremely difficult. Play was quite slow and should have Marshalls out as golf manners of players on this course leaves a lot to be desired. It’s pretty disgusting to see men urinating by trees especially with many woman playing on the course.

Nice course but starting to deteriorate

This is a nice course and priced fairly but is starting to decline. Their is more and more large ruts and dirt around greens and tee boxes and they don’t seem to spend much time planting new grass and repairing damage.

Good shape for early spring

This course is very challenging but if you place your shots and don’t be too aggressive you can shoot a pretty good score. Played early spring and though it was wet it was in really good shape. The greens are very undulating and challenging but rolled really well. Fairways were great and the rough was still pretty short. Most fairways slope quite a bit so you need to land your shots on high sides or you will roll off. The bunkers are deep and could all use more sand and a little work. Did find the cart paths are getting pretty rough. All in all this is a great course with nice elevation and a real northern Michigan feel.

What happened to this course

We have not played this course since our time here last winter. We could see it was slipping last year but we’re surprised by how much it has been let go. There’s very little grass left on the fairways, tee boxes etc and the greens all have sand areas that make then nearly un playable. Hole 14 green looks like it hasn’t been cut in at least a week or two. It is a shame as this was a pretty good track. We did finish our round in under 4 hours so that was good otherwise we do not plan to return.
