Not terrible, but not great

Course conditions were very dry (as has been the weather). The cart path was worse than most Michigan roads. A lot of challenging holes, but don't go in June the cottonwoods and horseflies are atrocious. Was expecting a nicer course for location and price.

Decent course, slow play

The course is fine, but this place has been plagued with slow play for 25 years. They have rangers, but no one will say anything to the slow players, so they upset everyone else on the golf course. 3 hours to play the front nine. Number 7 tee had 3 groups on it. It would also help if they would mow down some additional areas. The fact you can lose a ball on every hole makes this course terrible for beginners.

Looking pretty bad!

I was disappointed with the conditions. Needs water everywhere. Tee boxes are the worst I’ve played this year. Glad I was able to use my golf now rewards and pay less than 30. Not worth anything more

Fun to play

Price is a little steep for the condition of the course but it was fun to play. Tee boxes need some love.

A course that needs repairs.

Tee boxes in bad shape, greens need work, fairways average do have large bare spots. Cart paths will throw your back out.
Other courses in area are in better shape.

Course deteriorated

This course needs lots of maintenance. The cart paths are full of potholes and severely decaying. The sand traps have been ignored throughout the course. There is way to much growth on some holes which makes it hard to pick or find a target to hit to ( hole 8 back tees & 18 from back tees 14 back tees). Tees, fairways and greens are fine. Feels like the course is in financial hardship? This was always one of my favorite places to play in the Flint Genessee county area.

So Much Potential But Not Maintained

The last time I played this course was in 2019. Refused to go back because it was not well maintained, i.e. tee boxes with barren patches, dirt swells and hollows along the cart paths and in the fairways, and cart paths that have 12" pot holes. Returned on an 80 degree day two years later and found the exact same conditions. It is a shame that such a nice layout isn't being kept in pristine condition. If you have to charge more to keep a nice course, I don't mind paying the extra.

Additionally, I understand the need to get more revenue but 8 minute tee times is ridiculous. On a Tuesday, it took 5 1/5 hours to play 18 holes and we didn't make any clubhouse stops.

Where’s the upkeep?

Lack of upkeep really hurts this course. Cart paths were almost dangerous to drive on. Didn’t offer a good description of the holes and staff was too busy texting to see our tee times cause late starts and backing up everyone

Porta-potties

Great golf course. Friendly staff. No porta potties on any holes. Yikes.

No ranger on course checking of pace of play. This makes it a bit frustrating.
