Stellar

I was so impressed with the layout of every single hole! Breathtaking, majestic! Can’t wait to play it again. Fairways were better manicured than a lot of greens I’ve been on, and the greens were very nice. I couldn’t believe that it wasn’t packed on a Sunday. It’s my new favorite course.

Great layout

Located about 45 minutes from downtown Grand Rapids,MI. The course played very fair and have played the course many times in my career and last time was 5 years ago. Strange the fairway on 1st hole was being watered when we started so we played a back tee. Course was in very good shape and the greens got faster as the morning dew evaporated. Started at 70 degrees and finished at 90 degrees. The staff in proshop was very pleasant and wait staff in the lounge in the hotel connected to the course was very friendly. Beverage prices fair. We will be going back again.

Good course

Good course for the money, somewhat of a hidden gem. Need a ranger on the course for slow play, 5.5 round. Greens and tee boxes were in great shape. Will go back.

Nice course - slow pace

The course was in great condition other than the putting green. Nice setup and variety.
Our tee time was double booked, 8 golfers booked for the same time. This made for a very slow front 9, over 3 hours. The round took us just over 5 hours.

Great course

Great course for the price. Fairways and greens were in wonderful shape. Tee boxes could use some work, but nothing that would keep me from coming back to play.
