First time but not the last

The course is fun, fair and challenging. The greens are soft and fast, very fast, if you fly it in high it will stick but a punch and run is very challenging, the back nine is narrow and has several hole that you will need to hit the ball at least 150 yards over swamp. Over all very fun day with friends, we'll be back.

Always a pleasure

We have played here several times and it is one of our favorites. Pretty and moderately challenging course that is always in great shape. Staff are great. It helps that we usually play on Hot Deals which are both a good price and less busy times. Love the course.

Mother Day Golf

The Eldorado is one of our favorite courses to play in Michigan. It is a great value especially when GolfNow has it on the Hot Deals. Challenging to play, you need to make sure of you club selection in order to have a good game. To much club and you hit over the green, not enough puts you into the hazards. I should know, did not play my best but had fun.

Great Hour to Spend an Afternoon

On my way back from up north to GR, had a great burger in the grill and then enjoyed a quick 9 holes. Perfect Thursday afternoon teed off at 12:45pm and was back in my car headed to GR by 1:44pm. Played as a single, had my phone on listening to radio and was probably the best hour of the week.
Greens were fast compared to what I played earlier in the week and I was told they are normally faster. You really need to play this course once to find out what the greens do as being above the hole is a certain 3 putt. I had 4 of them thru 9 holes, yikes. Good layout and mix of types of holes. Big fairways and big greens and for a golfer like me, was hard to lose a golf ball out there the way the course is routed. Can't wait to come back and try the back 9 or attack the front 9 and score better.
Don't be afraid to walk, I wish I would have cause it wasn't crazy hilly and greens to tees is very easy walks.

Very Good Conditions

The Day was great, the course was in very good condition. Very good practice greens and range. Tee boxes, fairways and greens very good. The back 9 more difficult than the front -- keep it in the fairways.

A must play

Played the course on fathers day with long time golfing buddy. We were treated right from the start through having lunch on the varanda as if we were everyone's (who worked there) father! The cart boy, the men in the pro shop, the cart ladies and our waitress for lunch were just outstanding! The course had some challenging holes but with the multiple tees we were able to play to our ability! The course was in excellent condition, great layout, fabulous views, could not find one thing wrong with the whole experience....thank you Eldorado for one of the best golfing days the two of us had maybe ever!! We will be back...lunch was excellent also!

Needs rangers

We were a twosome & there were 3 foursomes ahead of us plus a 5 some right in front of us. we waited at every hole & it was 3 hours to play 9 holes. There were many dead grass spots on the fairways & at the top of the hills grass was mowed way too short. Traps have a gravel type mixture with very little packed down dirt & too many stones.

kball128,

I am sorry to hear that your experience at Eldorado was not what we strive to provide.

Since your frustration during your round of play was not communicated to us at that time, I would be more than happy to have a phone conversation with you, so that we can better the experience for others.

Good Time

This was first time playing this year. Was a little disappointed in some of the conditions given the cost of play. With golfnow we got a deal but if we had paid full price we would have been a tad upset. Fun course and staff is excellent!

Eldorado, top of the line

went up north to see the colors, and play some golf. Was not disappointed . Course was set in rolling hills bathed in fall collars. a bit wet due to recent rain. Even from the short tees is challenging. As a bonus the food is good in the restaurant

nobody enforcing pace of play

this is the slowest pace of play for 18 holes I've ever experienced. Well over 5 hours. By the time we finished it was after 7 pm and freezing cold. Other than that the course is very nice. There are at least 3 holes that were impossible for my wife to navigate with a 3-wood distance of 130 yards. Rather than giving a ball to the swamp she dropped on the other side. Be prepared for lightning fast greens with tricky pin placements.
