3 minutes late

Took my daughter and wife out for a Friday twilight round. We hit a few balls at the range and were 3 minutes late according to the starter. He promptly put a 5 some, yes three carts in front of us who's tee times were 15 minutes after ours. They had the last tee time of the day, wasn't very busy at all. I had to beg to go off the back side in order not be waiting as you could imagine. When we finished, I asked the GM why they would even let a 5 some (3 carts) go off at one time and in front of a three some, he began lecturing me. Not what I call a family atmosphere. I have never given a poor rating before, but I would want to know this information before coming out to a course. The three of us play a lot of golf with lower handicaps and yes, should not have stopped in the clubhouse to use the facilities before checking in with the starter. 3 minutes late.

Wonderful Course

A friend raved about the course so I was going with high expectations and wasn't disappointed. Very fair but challenging course in great condition. First time playing the course but definitely one I want to play a lot more times. Really enjoyed the layout. Great greens to putt on.

Greens exceptional!!

Moose Ridge grounds staff have really hit a high point this year. The course is in fantastic shape with the biggest improvement being the putting surfaces. I have played here for over a decade and never seen the greens as good as they are now. Get out there during the 2017 season and take advantage of the perfect course conditions.

Great Course!

This is the second time I've played this course, and it was just as good as the first. Nice up north feel, well maintained, scenic, and definitely challenging. This course makes you think about each shot and has a lot of high risk high reward opportunities. Placement golf should be the mindset. Will be back to play again and again.

Beautiful Course

Beautiful course. The best course I've played on in Michigan. Offers fairly narrow fairways and approaches to the green which makes it a challenging course. Lot's of smart iron work and good putting to score well here.

One of the best courses in southeast MI

Such a nice course to enjoy golf. It's the 4th time in October or ever since, was impressed at the 1st time golf here. Very friendly staff. I also enjoyed a little walk with the 90 degree rule, good exercise. Beautiful scenery in the autumn.

Nice course, wish they would have mentioned they had just aerated.

First time playing Moose Ridge, course layout was fantastic and pace of play wasn't bad for a Saturday afternoon, but I don't understand why some courses don't feel the need to let you know the greens had recently been aerated. At least if I know, it's my choice putting on a Chinese checkerboard, but when you step on the practice green and see that, your expectations for a good round instantly depart. Will be back, but will check on the greens first.

Beauty, Charm, and Challenge

My wife and I played Moose Ridge on October 23rd, in about 60 degree weather. Absolutely beautiful layout and good conditions as well, for the most part. Greens were quick, but not overly so, and they rolled true. This is a course I could play again and again, and I hope to do just that.

Downhill

This used to be a favorite course of my groups annual play. However, due to poor course conditions, slow pace of play (Rangers more concerned with collecting bottles), high price for the golf, the cart path only on 9 of the holes and the carts themselves shutting down if one is to close to the greens or anywhere else that it dictates to you and manually overrides the cart we will not waste our money here again. The food is good that's it. Go elsewhere.

Not Handicap friendly.

On our group golf day at this course, we had a group of 8 players which two players were handicapped in as much as they could not walk long distances. Asked if they could accommodate them by disabling the carts GPS to allow a closer proximity to their ball. We were told no and after emailing the course, I was given the reason of preserving the course was more important to the owners than giving the few handicapped players a good time playing with there friends ( thus is what it amounted to in my mind). The course was not wet and only a few fairways were cart accessible. I will not return as well as my fellow travelers. They should take a lesson from Glendarin.

We regret to hear your round was not as enjoyable because of the lack of accessibility for some of the players in your group. We hope to see you again though, we understand this may have been a frustrating experience because of the scenario but we want to make it up to you.

Annoying carts

Great course in good shape. However, they have set up the carts with GPS to basically shut down at least every other hole. They constantly give warnings and feedback and literally every other hole is cart path only even though it has been very dry lately. These interactive and very slow carts only prolong an otherwise slow round due to the difficulty of the course. We played behind some drunks and the ranger did nothing to address the pace. It's a real shame but the carts will prevent me from returning to the course. Totally unnecessary and highly interruption - I recommend you take your business elsewhere.

Really nice course

Very enjoyable. Some long holes but overall you don't have to be a bomber to score. Good shots are rewarded, miss-hits are punished. Tees, fairways, rough, and greens in great shape. Beautiful natural setting. Staff was great. I will go back whenever I can.

Course was great but.... Read review

First off, beautiful enterence way. Walked into clubhouse, huge stuffed Alaskan Brown Bear greeting. Small pro shop. Nice bar area, with gorgeous bartender!
Course: Tee Boxes and fairways were in great condition. But for some reason they put so much wet sand on the greens the putting was impossible. Literally the ball was covered in sand after one putt. And they had 9 out of 18 fairways were cart path only on a dry day, they were roped off for no reason. The carts were just RIDICULOUS! GPS carts that you couldn't go even close to your ball on half the holes.
Overall nice course but won't go back because of the cart situation.

We appreciate the feedback and positive comments on the clubhouse and the course conditions. Every-other Monday we do top-dress our greens to keep our greens rolling smooth. If you played early in the morning the sand definitely tends to stick until the sun dries out the morning dew. As for the 9 holes that are cart path only, 4 of them are par 3s and the other 5 holes are set that way for certain reasons including; safety with steep terrain, and course conditioning reasons, High cart traffic areas with clay based soil causes the grass to die. The Golf carts are set up to keep golfers away from tees and greens and other dangerous areas, We are sorry that you didn't have a pleasant experience with the golf carts.
