Golf the way it should be!

I hate to let the secret out but Colonial Golf Course is as good as it gets in Michigan. We played at 4:30pm and we were the only golfers within a four hole radius. The course is very well groomed where you can putt from 25 yards off the green! The price was incredible under $1/hole. The staff is friendly. There are club cleaners and ball washers on every golf cart! Add in individual coolers with as much ice as you want and a few cold beverages and it is heaven. The restaurant is good, and greatly appreciated getting hot food at 8:30pm.

A Challenge

We went on Tuesday afternoon and there were very few golfers which made the pace of play great. The course is on the long side, and there is always a wind which makes for challenging golf. Lots of tall grass, some water and plenty of sand traps will gobble up an errant shot. Plus, the wind can turn good shots into trouble with the blink of an eye. Overall, it is a very good course and close to Grand Haven which is nice.

It sure has changed

I first played this course in 1991 in the pro-am and it was nice. The main problem is the greens are in tough shape. The cart paths on 7 and 8 are a mess, plus a few more. It was crowded the day we played and balls were flying everywhere. Two balls landed at our feet, and one whizzed by our head with no warning. My buddy shot an 85 so he wants to play again, but I won't be back until it's fixed.

Didn't Score Well, but good course.

This course took it's toll on me. After 18 holes of avoiding trees, reading greens, and navigating long holes, I relented to take my clubs and go home. If you are looking for an easy course, this is not for you. Otherwise, if you are up for a challenge, have at it! Also, I figured my cost was 15 cents a stroke which isn't bad. In addition, the course is hard to find because very few signs.

First Time Playing

Simple Fix

My first time and I was impressed. A friendly smiling face greeted us and we arrived at noon on a beautiful day. Even though we were slow because of errant shots, the pace of play was very quick. The course is very nice and challenging, and would love to come back. However, at most tees the trash container was overflowing with empty beer cans. Either they hadn't been emptied for a week, or somebody drinks a lot of beer!

One of our favorite courses

Great layout and no crowds is the reason we like it so much. Plus low rates and friendly staff only adds to the value of Grandview! Played it 3 times last week, and 3 times this week.

Nice Course, Excllent Value

I have played Moss Ridge many times and it is great course for the money. A little trouble with the pace of play when there are leagues. For the money, it is the best around! Also, the beer cart gal, only adds the experience :)

Great Time Great Course

Everything was perfect. Course was in excellent condition, even after a wet spring. The pace of play was just right, no waiting, and no one pushing behind. Looking forward to return next week.

Great course except for....

Oceana is a Great course for layout, staff, and value. We would play again, except the rough is extremely thick right up to the fairway. We had to hunt for balls constantly, including a shot that was only a foot from the fairway!! Long roughs slow down the pace of play and it's bad business for the golfer and the Golf Course! Get it together Oceana, you are better than that!

Great Value, Course not as nice though.

Glad you asked. The third hole green was in rough shape, needs work. The roughs next to the fairway are too long, because we could not find balls that were only five yards from the fairway. We were constantly looking for balls in the long roughs, hence slow play. A challenging course and a good test. Plus great price will have me returning soon.

Nice layout, not an ideal course after rain.

Unique arrangement of holes where there are 3 tee boxes and 3 greens in small area. The par 3's are different and challenging.

For the money and close to our home this was a great value. Lincoln is a very nice and interesting course with great service.

We had not played this course before even though it was close to home. We play every Tuesday night at 4:30pm somewhere, and this course is now one of our favorites. There was no wait at all, the course was in good shape, and the staff welcomed us enthusiastically. We will look to return again. Great Job Lincoln Golf Club!
