GREAT COURSE

We always play Paw Paw Lake when we visit my sisters place on the lake. Great little course with lots of shot maker shots to execute. Harder than it looks for some holes even as short as it is. The 7th hole Gazebo bar is ALWAYS a must stop..both times you pass it. Enjoy your round.

Paw Paw is great!

I've played here many times and always enjoy the experience. The course is generally in good shape and I love attending the Tiki Bar by the 7th hole for a beverage and a beautiful view of the lake.

It Works

I was pleasantly surprised by the Paw Paw course. I was sure what to expect after two longer, straight , flat par 3s to start but once you get to hole 3 the course gets more interesting with some rolling fairways and elevation changes. The greens and whole course was well taken care. It was good value for your money.

Scenic short course

Love playing this course- it’s not too long and many of the holes have beautiful views. The greens were in nice shape.

Worst bunkers in the world

The rough is 6 inches thick in most places, tree branch’s hang over most tee boxes, most tee boxes have divots all over them, owners clearly don’t care about the course and the bunkers are the worst I’ve ever seen. There hasn’t been rakes in the bunkers for 3 years, some most have grass growing in them, some they completely just let go and are hoping they grass just grows over them, every bunker is full of rocks. Overall could be a great course if owners cared

The staff at the front desk was very rude !!!!

My son and myself were playing 18 and had to play behind a group of 9 !!! For at least 8 holes . This was allowed by the rude front desk attendant , there were also several people in their personal golf carts (not golfing , Wearing beach attire ) freely Cruising around the course drinking
