Inkster Valley Golf Club

Too many blind shots where you cannot see anything. Hole #12 you cannot seen the flag stick from the middle of the fairway. We tried standing on the cart and we still could not see the flag stick. That stuff needs to be cut down, and the course would be nice

Inkster valley is 2 miles from my house so I get to play it a lot sometimes once a week.
Blind shots are the name of the game here, you might want to drive up and check things out around the corner before you hit a shot here.
Unfortunately this is Inkster and it's kinda getto, but to look at things on the positive side this is motor city golf at its best.
If you like to play from the tips this is a tough course, from the first tee you must trust your instincts and sense of direction because you can't see the fairway at all.
The first 9 is tight and plays tough expecially hole 6 one of my favorites.
The back 9 is a little more open except for hole 11, this is one of my favorite holes to play in the whole south east michigan region.
On hole 12 there is an abandoned building behind the green where me and my friends play "closest to the window". Take an 8 iron and smash a window.
Holes 13 through 16 bomb away tye driver, hole16 par 5 is where. I hit my 1 and only eagle. Holes 17 and 18 things get tight again.
I wish maintenance was a bit better here
Great place to find 20/30 golf balls
Hole

Course overgrown with trees shrubs blocking green view and landing area.

The course was in great shape especially the greens and tee boxes.

The marsh areas were quite tall (probably due to excessive rain) and made for many difficult blind shots.

The course is beautiful but challenging.

If you like slow play, blind tee shots and approach shots, and one dogleg left after another, then this is the course for you. Excluding the par 3s, I think 12 of the 14 remaining holes were dogleg left, many of them 90 degrees left.

The course has some redeeming qualities--wetlands, contoured fairways, rolling topography--but not enough to make it worthwhile. Too many times we stood on the tee with little to no view of the fairway, wondering where we were supposed to hit the ball. And if you do manage to find the fairway, you will find yourself hitting to what you assume is the green, because you might just be able to see the top of the flagstick above the overgrown foliage.

The land it's on could have made for a really nice course, but the layout was poorly thought out--unless you're a left-hander who slices the %$#@ out of the ball and can see through dense foliage. Could also be better maintained.

I really enjoy playing this course. The first time I played I was bewildered because there are a number of blind shots you have to make, but after playing a second time with someone who had played there 30 times I felt more comfortable (with some insight from him). The course is on the outskirts of Inkster which might first make you pause, but the course and facilities are immaculate. There are some tight fairways and a number of shots that require accuracy, but the challenge makes we want to keep going back. Even my 12 year old likes it--no matter how many balls he loses.

Challenging course with ample tests but needed to drive up on many of the holes.

too many blind shots over overgrown carries( reeds trees) greens were good

This used to be one of my favorite local courses but it was in terrible condition when I played it this year (June 2013). The course looked like it hadn't been mowed in about 2 weeks. The rough was literally 8 inches long and the grass had reached the point of reseeding itself. If you missed the fairway, your ball was essentially lost, it was worse than US Open conditions.

I think this course was recently sold to new owners. The pro shop was completely empty. The clubhouse smelled like my grandma's basement. The staff looked like they just walked out of the drunk tank. They had a couple guys mowing and doing maintenance, but only around the clubhouse, while the course needed serious attention. It boggled my mind.

I'm not sure what's going on here, but I'd avoid it for a while. Hopefully the new management will learn how to run a golf course sometime soon. This used to be one of my favorites, but I won't be back for quite a while.

The course is built out of some wetlands and they are overgrown everywhere. Greens are very slow because the grass is pretty thick on them. There are blind shots on at least half the holes and no indicators of where to play shots which becomes quite frustrating when you have no clue of how the course is layed out.

It has hazards on almost every hole. Too difficult for average golfer. Rough is very difficult. Green were not fast but in very good condition. The fairways were also in good condition.

If you have a problem not seeing your target or fairway when hitting this may not be the course for you. There is at least 6 blind tee shots on this course. The rough is maintained but very thick. Lots of water hazards. If you've played Brae Burn in Northville this is tougher. If you've played Copper Hills in Oxford this is tougher. If you've never played this course and you are looking for a challenge this it! The best part was the price. I won't even tell you what we paid but for what we got in a course it felt like it was free.

Inkster Valley is one of the most challenging courses in south eastern MI. If you like to position shots and not pound driver and hit wedges all day this is a great course.

The course was extremely slow. A ranger did come out and push people a little, but the course was not in good shape at all.

The only bad thing to say was there was no cart girl and the temps were warm. Additionally the clubhouse grill was very slow at the turn. Still the golf was a great experience.

only negative points were: drinking water on course, but no cups at any of the locations; ball scrubbers throughout the course needed refilling, cleaning, and a few were inoperable...

Challenging course. Lots of forced carries. If you are not on your game it can eat you alive. Plenty long from the tips with a couple blind shots from deep in the box. If I had to be picky I would say the pace was a little slow, greens could use a little upkeep and too close to airport. No pro shop, range and limited food kept me from 5 star rating.

GREENS NEED WORK, NEEDS MORE STAFF, BEER CART. WOULD PLAY IT AGAIN

If you are a 100 golfer, be sure to bring some balls. This course is not forgiving at all! Lots of woody hazards.

The course was overall in good shape. The sand traps need to be worked on they were muddy.
