course in excellent condition

arrived early we were able to start early. played front nine in less than 2 hrs. but took all most 2 3/4 hrs. for the back. we had an outing in front of us that were very slow the course did not have rangers out to help speed up play. I go along with while we are young. the course was in excellent shape. would play again. but not on a sat.

Great course for the money

I have golfed at The Colonial a few times and the course always impresses me. Offers the option of the challenging gold tees (6800 yards) and the more standard white tees of around 6200 yards. Had a good experience :)

I would play this course again!

Fabulous course conditions make this a great place to play a relaxing round. The greens were as nice as any of the very expensive courses I played in the region the previous two days. The course is not a hard layout, but a lot of fun. Recommended!

Fairways and greens were in excellent shape

The golf course course was in great shape. We used the senior tees which made it very playable with no 400 yard par 4's. It was as nice a course as any of the 20-25 courses we have played this year.

Easily my favorite course

I drive from Muskegon on a regular basis to play this golf course. It has 6 hard, 6 average and 6 easy holes with the back being the harder of the nines. Challenging enough but you can post a nice score if you are playing well. This is the rare course that can offer something to every level of golfer. Highly recommended.

fantastic course-slow round!

Arrived literally right on time(missed the exit) and went straight to the first tee to find a back-up for as far as I could see. Some twosomes playing back to back in the middle of foursomes. We knew from the beginning that it was going to be a long round. Minus the long round(over 5hrs) the course was in great shape! Greens rolled at great speeds(faster than local average) and the fairways and greens were lush and green. Hoping the next round will play much faster.

Tremendous Conditions

I played Colonial for the first time this past Sunday and can't wait to come back! The variety of holes and course conditions are top notch! Loved the strategy that the course requires and the greens were fast and smooth. Can't ask for much more. The only downside was we were stuck behind some very slow groups on the front nine but we were able to fly through the back 9. Overall, a great Sunday afternoon!

Pristine for Sure

We played on a Friday in June 2014. The course is immaculate with beautiful green conditions. Many greens have false fronts and can be deceiving the first time you play. The staff is super friendly and I would highly recommend this course to anyone. I have not seen a course in better condition in west Michigan and the groundskeeper deserves special recognition! The back 9 is longer than the front and there are a couple of holes within eye distance of US 31. It was fun playing a relaxing round while seeing the rest of the world scrambling to get up north for the weekend!
