Fun challenging course

Played cutters ridge course for golf now rate of$36 which is a great value.
All tee boxes were superb
Fairways were in great shape and greens were consistent speed medium fast.
Lots of sloping to the greens but not extreme.
The bunkers have good sand and are consistent.
Would have been nice to see maps of the holes on the card or at the tee box.
After playing I did see some map sheets at the club house. Would have been nice to have been informed of such prior to playing, but otherwise the staff was very friendly.
The course is pretty cut through the woods, but not picturesque, and no real memorable holes.
The layout is plenty challenging but fair.
If you can't keep it close to the fairway, bring a lot of balls- outside the rough is very thick vegetation

Nice course

Some really scenic holes, with lots of chances for trouble. Course is target golf in some cases, so bring your A game. Can be difficult depending on which box you play. Fun and pretty course overall. Recommend playing it.

Great course to play.

I played The Cutters Ridge of Manistee National. This course is set in the pines and hardwoods of western lower Michigan. Tight fairways that take precision shots of distance and accuracy. Hilly and damp to wet conditions throughout. Undulating greens of speed. Gets a little hot in the noon to 3:00 sun but a beautiful course to experience!

Very nice, but challenging !

This is the hardest golf course I ever played, you best be prepared to hit very long and straight. After we were done, I really didn't think I would want to play it again. The next morning I wanted to go back and give it another try.

Bring lots of balls!

This course will challenge average distance hitters with its tight fareways and many, many hazards. It is beautiful and well maintained. Be prepared to lose some balls ... and some confidence.

2 of the best 18 hole courses around

I've played both Canthooke and Cutter's, and let me tell you these golf courses are an amazing value for the money spent. I will definately be going back there again, possibly even staying at their hotel next time.

Beautiful, challenging course.

It is a beautiful course cut out of the woods. It is a challenging course; requiring precision shots to stay out of trouble. It is not for the beginning golfer.
