Previously known as The Jackal Golf Club at Mt Brighton. Sprawling across a majestic landscape covered with spring-fed ponds and mature oaks, The Golf Club at Mt. Brighton offers a challenging round as well as stunning scenery. The golf course shares the grounds with a ski resort, guaranteeing a variety of dramatic elevation changes throughout. Club selection is the key to doing well on this course. Accuracy is also an important factor. The tricky greens are balanced by generous, player-friendly fairways. Acres of natural wetlands, including a cascading waterfall, have been incorporated into the design. There are also numerous strategically placed bunkers along the greensides. The layout opens with a dramatic, downhill par 4 that offers a panoramic view of the course. In addition to the golf course, The Golf Club at Mt. Brighton also offers a grass driving range.

Subpar Course Conditions...

Course seems to have gone downhill over the last couple of years. Doesn't seem as though management is investing any money into the course. I know it is late in the year, but the fairways were long, uncut for awhile and had clumps of grass clippings throughout. Greens were slow and full of ball marks. The sand traps were hardly sand, rather rocks.

Overall, for what I paid to play 18 and a cart, cost was in line with conditions. I likely won't play there again unless it's free and a last resort. There are too many other nice courses in the area.

Was told we needed a collared shirt next time !

this coarse in no way commands a collared shirt and to be told that was unappreciated. friendly folks tho. Several elevation change shots fun place to golf . grounds were ok greens were super soft. Hard coarse but the landscape is worth the trouble.

Terrible pace, weird ranger and overall ripoff

I've played this course several times, for what it's worth, but this was the first time in a couple years since they changed ownership. It all started with the lady working at the clubhouse who, while very pleasant, wasn't the least bit helpful. She explained there was a league happening but didn't inform us that there was a possibly a train wreck waiting ahead.

The pace of play was absolutely atrocious, and instead of the lone ranger asking the league to pick up the pace, he told us after the first hole "You know we close at 8 right?" in a tone that conveyed "you are idiots and why would you even be here?" It was incredibly off putting and unprofessional, and he kept constantly following us around and acting odd to boot.

We only played 6 of the 9 holes and were so frustrated that we didn't even want to go to the clubhouse to complain since we knew what the response would be. The greens were in awful shape and the rough was way too long in many places- not in a challenging manner, but in a "we've given up" manner..

While I understand that everybody is trying to make a buck (I'm all for capitalism) this course should 'not' be selling tee times for 6pm that are following a women's league (or any league for that matter). It was a joke.

Some crazy holes on the mountain side and some real thinkers scattered throughout. Course is in great shape, but pace of play could be a little faster. At the same time it was a Sunday.

Tricky layout

Some nicely constructed holes, but the overall course feels squeezed in. Greens are extremely slow. Gimmicky in spots. Worth playing once, but I wouldn't go back.

Like this course

Played in exactly four hours on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

One complaint: How about some yardage indicators on par threes? Would it kill you guys to spray-paint a number on the cart path or something? Actual yardage is rarely even close to what's written on the card (particularly on #11), and there is nothing around to indicate actual yardage.

Great course but if you can't drive the ball straight the course plays difficult. Some super fun holes hitting off of the mountain but very narrow

One of the most scenic courses in the area.

It's an absolutely beautiful course. Elevated tee boxes with absolutely beautiful views. However, bring your. A game. After you finish taking pictures you're going to have play some real golf. The elevated tees will make you think twice about club selection especially if it's windy. There are a lot of water hazards and fairways lined with trees or marsh. Their is no room for error on a number of the holes. But if you're up for a challenge...this is it!
