Disappointed

Well when we played it was very slow so we only played the front 9 - twice, rather than follow the slow goups ahead of us to the back. So, never got to see all the lakes the course is known for, as they'r eon the back. No water to drink, no starter / anyone to speed things up, and not as pretty as I expected. Overall, disappointing...

Beautiful course, poorly managed

One of the most interesting courses I've played. Many challenging holes, but pace of play was extremely slow. Three hours to finish 9 holes. Bag boys were great, loaded clubs onto the cart but then there was no starter on the first hole. It was a free for all. Would not go back unless they change their start procedures.

First time here

Won't be the last! Great setting and great place to relax for 18. The lady working at the bar was super friendly. We had a later tee time and she stuck around till we made the turn to see if we needed anything before she left for the day.

Good outing

Had a wonderful time overall. Course was in excellent condition. Only issue was slow play with a foursome ahead of us that didn't offer to let us play through and no ranger on course.

Wonderful course, very distinctive holes.

We were placed in the middle of large group outing, and thus had to wait on each hole. Time to complete our round was 5 1/2 hrs. Did not like that aspect.

Great Mature Course

I booked this online thinking I had played it before and when I got there I was wrong. I was surprised because I have played quite a few of the northern Michigan courses around Gaylord. Pleasantly surprised when I seen this course from the clubhouse and once I stepped onto the course. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a well maintained and challenging course.

This was a beauty of a course.

The course was in terrific condition. The front 9 had some long holes, but the setting was great. Greens & fairways were in very good condition. The tee boxes could use a little work-they have some tilt to them. Altogether had a very enjoyable day, even played the front 9 twice.

Will play again.

The front nine needs some attention. The rough is weedy and bare in spots but the greens and fairways are ok. The back nine is very enjoyable and in better shape. some of the holes are pretty tight and require good club selection. i will play again.

Fantastic Layout

I really enjoy playing courses that have a lot of variety and this one fit that criteria. Water, trees, sand, and varying elevations; it had them all. The holes were challenging but were very fair. The length was extremely manageable for an average golfer. I would definitely like to play this one again.
