Ubly Heights

Fairways and greens were very nice. For the money, the best in the area. I've played courses for $65-$90 a round that couldn't come close to the conditions at Ubly

Great Value...will be back again next 4th of July!!!

Staff was incredible!!! Take out my 11 and 13 year old
when we head up north every 4th and this was the fist time at Ubly. The staff was super friendly and the course (especially the greens) were in terrific shape for the lack of rain this summer so far. Very junior friendly

Ubly Heights is a Challenge

This is a well kept course. The greens, fairways and rough are in great condition . It is just over 7000 yards from the back tees so you need to hit good drives. The fairways are pretty wide in most cases. Water comes into play on about 6 holes. The sand traps are large and filled with clean sand , they are not too deep so they are easier to get out of.
There is a driving range and a large putting green that let you prepare for your round.
The staff was friendly and helpful in the pro shop and the service in the lounge was excellent.
This course was a great experience.

Great condition

Not many trees on this course. Greens are in amazing shape, fairways are great too. Will definitely be back. Only paid $20 and it was well worth it.

Thumb golf has a lot to offer

This is one of my favorite courses to play. The golf pro there is excellent, he knows the game very well. The groundskeeper crew does a fantastic job in keeping the course in great condition.

An excellently maintained course.

Tee boxes in great condition. Fairways like carpet. Greens manicured beautifully. It's not easy but not terribly hard. If there is wind you will be guessing what club to use and there usually is wind. Great course!

not a 5 star course

The course was in good shape the greens and fairways were well groomed the layout was very open weeds were present but they were working at keeping them to a minimum The carts were old and worn the pro shop and club house have seen better days they were old looking the building itself is just getting old and well used it needs a face lift and updating to be rated as a 5 star we booked on golf now for just under $30.00

Fantastic!

We drove a hour and 30 minutes to play something new and weren't disappointed. Challenging but fair. Great bunkers and greens. 7000 yards from the tips is a nice change to see. Wife lived the ladies yardage too. A must play

Ubly Heights - Overcast and rainy

Really like the combination of links and wooded style holes. Course was in very good condition and really enjoyed my round (especially for $12).

Hidden jewel in the thumb

This was the first time I had played this course in several years and I forgot how much fun and how challenging it was. The first few holes you get the feeling it will be a pretty flat track but then you start getting some elevation changes to spruce things up. It's a real gem hidden in the thumb at a real fair price.

Nice course, friendly staff

The course was fun to play, just enough water and sand to challenge you. The greens and fairways were in very good condition. The ladies tee boxes are some of the best we have played on this year. The staff was very friendly and they made us feel welcome. We had a mix up on a tee time at another course and they reccommened Ubly to us. It was a great deal on Golf Now so we took it

Great mix of holes

The first three holes are forgiving links type and offer the average golfer a good chance of par. Things get more demanding and scenic starting with Hole #4. Conditions are excellent. Soft lush fairways and large well conditioned greens moderately fast. The course is fun to play.
