wetness and fall/cool weather

enjoyed the course - back nine was rather wet and made the course tougher - back nine much more challenging - wet lands came into play - front nine had plenty of water.

really liked the staff. very helpful - friendly people all around, players as well as staff.

scenery was terrific.

A very nice mix of holes

We played on a cool, wet day. Although the course was very wet it was quite playable. It was in excellent shape with very good fairways, tees and greens. Some greens are large and two-putting could be a challenge. Water comes into play on several holes, but fairways are generally wide enough that you can play to the safe side - you may have a longer shot into the green however. There are some narrower, challenging holes, and we enjoyed the overall mix of holes. We didn't feel that we were playing the same hole a few times.
Overall a great experience, and we recommend the course highly.

Dress code enforced

Good challenging course with lots of water. Not that long from the gold - about 5600 yds. Fairways and greens in spectacular condition. Only negative is I arrived, already paid, and was told dress code forbad wearing blue genes. I had driven some distance to get there so I was forced to buy shorts from the pro shop or I would no be allowed to play.

Playable & Fun Course

Very playable course...starts out with 2 short par 4's to get you warmed up. Relatively wide fairways (except for #2 and #10). Nicely manicured (did have a couple of dead fairway areas that need help) and greens were well conditioned, fairly fast, and with some tricky contours. Friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely play again.

Secluded wooded fairways

The course is spread out over a very large area, wooded, could never see another hole.
Fairly tight fairways.
Very good conditions.

Nice course.

I probably rate the course a 4.5, but that option is not available.

I used golfnow and only paid $30 for the round. That was a very reasonable price considering I have paid that much for much lesser courses. I am frugal, but think the $40-$50 price range for this course is fair.

There were a couple of personal quirks I found with the course, but I can't be too critical. The course is challenging, well kept, and definitely worth playing.

I thought the front nine was just ok, but my opinion of the course changed when I got to the back nine. The nature surrounding the course makes for a peaceful and enjoyable round.

Beautifully manicured

What stands out first about this course is how beautifully manicured all the holes are with lovely flower arrangements at most tee boxes.
This course appears at first blush to be easier than it really is and the back nine gets even harder. My partner played the regular men's tees and had to contend frequently with water and lost balls. The women's tees are somewhat more forgiving but the greens are well maintained and tough for everyone.

good place but not for new golfer

Great shape, good people. First 5 holes makes it look easy then you have your work cut out for the other 13 holes. I would play again but on vacation and just passing by.

beautiful course - condition and scenic

My husband and I golfed and were both very impressed with the facility and the condition of the golf course. It is now one of my favorite Northern Michigan golf courses and would come back again. While I'm a 20+ handicap, he is a scratch golfer.
