Beware of golf outings in the middle of the morning
I really don't remember the course because we were so frustrated following a golf outing that made it a five hour round. The course did not indicate that there was an outing nor did golfnow show anything when I made the reservation. It would certainly be helpful to know that four men cannot stay ahead of four old men and women. It took five hours to play a course that should have taken four. Golf is in serious trouble if that is not corrected.
Loon
busy golf course that day
a lot of waiting
scenic course with nice pines
fast greens
First time @ the Loon
Not extremely challenging but a very fair layout. At 6300 yds from the blue it was a good test of skill level. Greens read very true. An enjoyable day for father and son combination.
Great day of golf
Great course layout with challenging greens. Will play again this fall
COURSE IS IMMACULATE
PLAYED THIS COUSE AFTER 2 DAYS OF RAIN WAS A LITTLE WET BUT VERY PLAYABLE
Beautiful
The course was in excellant condition, even though a thunder storm moved through 5 minutes after we arrived. The staff were very nice & told us we would be able to get started as soon as the storm quit & it dried out a bit. Even though it was cart path only & a few very wet spots we enjoyed our round & hope to back soon.
Had a great time
It was a pleasure to play the Loon everyone was just great and really friendly .
Smell the pines!
Well manicured and cut fairways and greens. Great staff that is extremely personable. Beverage cart passed through 4 times. Yes, no starter, but everyone very helpful, and cute girls!
Challenging
Very challenging course for the average golfer yet room for some error. Friendly staff with great course conditions!
Beautiful
Beautiful course. Challenging but not overwhenlming. Wider fairways than The Lakes, and prettier. Only issue was slow play. Definitely recommend.
No Etiquette
We were behind two fathers and there two sons it was absolutely the worst time I have ever had golfing. The kids were running up to there balls like Happy Gilmore and just destroying the tee boxes and the dads were encouraging them.
SLOW... SLOW.......SLOW!!!!!!!
I quit after 9 holes. It took almost 3 hours to play 9 hours on Friday at 1:00. Not a ranger around. It's places like this that turn people off to golf.
Great Layout. Fun Course
This was my third time playing the Loon. I really enjoy the layout. Challenging but not a meat grinder. Definitely a play again.
Interesting layout
Butch Harmon signature course, pictures of Natalie Gulbis everywhere may have raised expectations too high. The yardage markers were inconsistent and sometimes non-existent, but the holes were interesting. Some of the tips on the scorecard were laughable: "Par 5, hit it long and straight", or "Long par 5, lay up if you can't make it in two".
Great Course
Took the family - all had a great time. They loved #18 - over the water...Compared to the near courses there (within a few miles) - this one takes the prize. Not as massive as Tree Tops' courses....but the Loon is worth the $$ (We got the Hot Deal...)
GREAT COURSE TO PLAY WHEN IN GAYLORD
EXCEPT FOR THE SLOW PLAY WHICH MIGHT HAVE BEEN DUE TO A GROUP ACTIVITY THE COURSE CONDITIONS WERE EXCELLENT. HAD A GREAT TIME .
July golf outing
Great course as always. Fantastic conditions. Staff is excellent
Awesome course
The loon was in excellent shape Very friendly staff. Watch out for the greens- very fast. We wil be playing this course again
great shape, fun course
I haven't played the course in many years. I was mildly impressed with the course condition. It was in very good shape. There are some very challenging holes, especially if you play from the blue tees. We were a twosome, behind a foursome, it felt like it was taking a lot of time, but finished in 4 hours. Ate at the club after and the food was very good.
First time at the Loon
Great time. We'll kept course. Friendly and knowledgeable staff.
