Moose Ridge Golf Course

I've played the course several times. The layout is interesting and actually has some very nice risk/reward holes. Very nice shape, I'd say comparable to nearby Northville Hills in that regard although I think the layout and therefore value of NH is slightly better. But overall fair value for what you're getting. Lots of elevation changes and very nice woodland setting. The big negative is the number of holes that are 'cart path only'. It's an incredible impediment to pace of play, particularly given that the course has some narrowness in multiple areas. I'd say the course plays 30-60 minutes slower than it needs to as a result, which seems like it could and should be addressed by the staff. It is possible that it's a moisture issue, but if so its bad design and they should address the drainage. Limiting the cart path only holes would make this course immeasurably more enjoyable.

This was a wonderful course - we had a 'hot deal' so the rather unfriendly person working told us 'we had no choice but be paired up' - he could've been a bit more friendly. Not many men appreciate being paired up with a woman - thought he would understand that. The course was in great shape.

I was looking forward to trying Moose Ridge. The Golf Now Hot Deal made it affordable. I don't know who would pay the regular green fees to play this course. If you like blind shots this is the course for you. Way too many for me. We played the white tees (thank goodness). I lost 4 balls which was the lowest of the foursome. All were less than 10 yards from the fairway. One was less than 10 feet from the green (another blind shot). Overall condition of course was fine but par 3 tees were atrocious with the number of divots. The greens were quick and severely sloped in some areas. A couple of pin placements were very treacherous especially without knowledge of course.

The higher green fees help pay for the golf cart system. Very sophisticated! Too bad course doesn't measure up to cart system.

Disappointing round for me. I will not return.

GroupGolfer had this course for $35 with a bucket of range balls - and I must say, that is one of the best deals we've ever purchased from GG!

I read all the reviews - stretching from course conditions, pace of play, and difficulty - and a lot of complaints I didn't experience.

My buddy and I went on a Tuesday morning at 9AM - and turns out my buddy "forgot" to make the tee time LOL they accommodated us with no issues (didn't look too busy at the time) and off we went. The first four holes are challenging - but not impossible. We are not the greatest golfers (31 HDCP for me, 25 HDCP for my buddy) and found this course to force you to really think about each and every shot - risk vs. reward.

The course itself was just beautiful and really had an up north type feel. YES, there are a lot of holes that you couldn't leave the cart path - but the carts had GPS so you just had to plan your shot and bring a couple clubs to walk across. I can't really remember any hole that I didn't like, and we really had a great time out there.

Thankfully I didn't land in any bunkers, so I can't review them. The rough and fairways were cut very well, and it wasn't a nightmare swinging out of the long grass.

We never saw another cart behind us until the 17th hole - nor did we have to wait for the group in front of us. Pace of play was perfect for us - and we were keeping pace well too even though we aren't the best. We didn't see a beverage cart, so make sure you stock up.

All in all, we will definitely be back - and I really hope they show up on GroupGolfer again. In my opinion this course is a MUST PLAY for $35! Even though I've been shooting low-mid 100's all season so far - I managed to break 100 with a 98 and also beat my buddy in match play 4&3. Definitely my best round of the season, especially on a 128 slope course.

The course is made into a walking only course by around 75% of the holes being cart path only. I walk a decent amount of my rounds but when I do get a cart I expect to be able to use it. Not only is it cart path only but it is overbooked and extremely slow play that the course does not show any interest in alleviating. The carts have the GPS that slows them down even when the hole is not cart path only so you do most of your fairway driving in reverse. For anyone that wants a casual cart round please do yourself and your sanity a favor and stay as far away from this place as possible.

Glad to have come back after several years. Coarse is a great layout and was in really good condition. Only draw back was the slow play.

Been awhile since I played here.... Fantastic golf course. Definite Michigan must play golf course. Layout is great and very challenging course. Come check Moose Ridge out. You will not regret it!

I was really looking forward to playing here for the first time but I guess I picked the wrong day. I know lots of courses use Monday as a maintenance day, but the greens were very disappointing.
They really over sanded them and it was poorly distributed and even contained large rocks that made it pretty pointless to putt through. No way I felt like it was a fair representation of my score especially when I like to enter all my scores and stats on GAM.
I went in to the pro shop after 9 and asked the pro shop staff what was up with all the sand. He didn't even look me in the eyes and said, "we do it every monday, so does every good course and it's not that bad." I said its actually unputtable in my opinion. And I also play the best courses in the area (mostly UofM, Radrick Farms, Travis Pointe). Really disappointed because it is a beautiful course but the greens and the customer service really made it feel like a waste of time and money.

Only one complaint. Pace of play was slow. Seems like they overbook the course. Other then that, love the course layout. Good challenging course. Very nice condition.

This is a great course. Really tough, you have to think, can't just grab the driver on every hole, have to think about the second shot.

Compared to the other local courses I've played, this course was in the best conditions for April. Very well maintained from tee to green. Pace was slow though at about 5 hours. I thought the slope for white is underrated... it's harder than 120.

First time out at Moose Ridge and it is absolutely beautiful! Lots of elevation changes and close to nature, it reminded me of some of the best up north courses!! We played from the white tees and glad we did because it is a very challenging course. Most tee shots have a generous landing area but be CAREFUL on approach shots because there is no room behind the greens. On the back nine if you're going to miss, MISS LEFT as everything slopes down to the water. Great finishing hole on 18 and cool clubhouse with deck looking out on 10th tee box and 18th green... Can't wait to get back out when everything is in full bloom!!

If you're looking for a course to challenge your game look no further than Moose Ridge. There are many elevation changes that make correct club selection a must. The greens putt and roll very well and they are medium fast with many undulations to test your green reading skills. The carts have GPS for yardage distances and personal rangefinders help you dial in better.

There are 6 holes on the front nine and 3 on the back nine that are always cart path only. This is the reason pace of play can be slow sometimes. Don't let this stop you from playing here.

The food menu is very good for an after round meal. The staff is courteous and pleasant.

Delayed getting out due to frost but the staff handled it well. For being very early in the season the course is in great shape, especially after so much rain the previous week. Highly recommend.

Very challenging. Played from the white tees.That was plenty for us. Nicest course I played all year

i would love this course to be closer to me so i can play it non-stop. all year round. just excellent
but people need to replace THIR DIVOTS
the course is beautiful lets keep it that way please.

I understand why you can't drive on a few of the fairways, but some of the others really bogged the pace of play. Other than that the course is really nice and you can shoot low with the pretty flat greens that rolled nicely. I only played through 16, because the sun was setting, but I planned on coming back anyway!

This course is top notch in so many respects. It offers a challenging environment with plenty of slope and great views for any level of player. My group played one set of tees up from the tips and distance was never an issue (my average drive is 255-265 yards). This course offered more than enough challenge particularly if you don't bring your A game. A wonderful variety of holes creates a real championship golf environment and the condition of the greens was pristine with a true roll that tested our strokes rather than our luck.
The day we played was a perfect fall color day and the ampitheater of the trees was just amazing. I like the style of this layout as it gets more difficult from tee to green. Tee shots were demanding from a scoring standpoint but as much in terms of losing balls and strokes.
I didn't rate the value of this course all that well because I think it normally runs around $60 which I think is steep in this ecomomy but it was an offer I couldn't refuse at an $18 hot deal.
If you can play here for <$40 you are winning!

Really love the topography of this course, TRUE up north feel, but the pace of play is really affected by fact the carts are not allowed on a lot of fairways resulting in unnecessary walking. It backed up play more than needed. Probably won't come back until this problem is resolved, even after I had a hole in one on the par 3 16th.

The course was in great shape. Pace of play is slow. The staff are crabby and a bit rude.
