I loved. “the downs!”

The only thing which perturbed me was, course-maintenance not being more sensitive or “aware” of those of us on the tee-box. Pace of play was fantastic. The course was also great. Kudos to the staff, whom welcomed us, as well as Asia in the clubhouse. I hope that I can swing ‘em again there, very soon.

Overall nice course.

Very nice course to play. Only issue was the staff. The Marshall was constantly telling us to pick up pace even though there was no one waiting on us, but we were waiting for the two groups in front of us at every tee. He never said anything to them.

Well cared for course.

The greens are in excellent shape. Turf-wise the course is in great shape. Some of the cart paths are in need of repair, though.

A little on the pricey side

40$ for a round with cart is to much for this course.

GREAT COURSE

just a great course. It has come along way. The only down fall was a slow foursome in front of us that wouldn’t allow us to play through. Other than that clean greens and nice LUSH fairways.

Golf course review

Outstanding course! At first glance, you think it is just flat everywhere until you hit the 4th hole!! Very challenging and makes you think of club selection a lot. Greens are comparatively smaller then most "American" style average 20 yards long. But challenging. Nice sand in the bunkers, and a lot of them! Worth the 1.25 hr drive from Michigan.

Once a really nice course

Lots of damage from carts as the course stayed open to make money during rainy times to make money. Greens are smooth but very slow. Pro shop has no control over pace of play on the course. People cutting in front of you is a common occurrence. This used to be one of the really nice courses in the area. Sad to see it go down hill. Good luck to the course superintendent, he's gonna need it.

Great Layout, but would’ve liked a heads up!

The course has a great layout and some really unique holes. We were really early in the morning and the sprinklers were actually left on during some of our play, which was kind of a bummer. Greens were good. The worst was when we got to hole seven and they had thrown a shotgun outing out there, without letting us know and we went from a whole every 10 to 15 minutes, to a hole every 1/2 hour. It was pretty frustrating. Overall the staff was really nice and they did give us a rain check for our last nine holes, because of the scramble they threw out there and the pace of play was soo slow. Since then I’ve tried to use the nine hole voucher, but it seems every weekend they have multiple scrambles and outings that take up most of their playtime. I’ll play it again, but I’ll call first to make sure they don’t have some sort of outing.

Tough spring weather

The course was visibly scarred by the wet spring Toledo endured. The greens were much slower than I years past. Staff did not direct us to proper starting tee box (playing off the back 9 that day). Great value, but the course has had better days.

Wet

Course was very wet - compared to other courses in the area. Will try again when we have better weather. Saw lots of dandelions and clover throughout the course. Greens aren’t very good either
