A good 9 hole experience

This course definitely serves its purpose in the golf world, especially in Chicago where golf options are somewhat limited. It's quite easy, which is good for the confidence. In fact I shot my first career sub 40 here (a 38!), which was exciting. RARELY do you find a way to lose any balls (you just play an errant shot off the fairway over). Proximity to the city is a plus. The issues are that the ground on some fairways is extremely hard, and the greens are often long. Sometimes it's like you're putting on a fairway. All in all, if you are looking to play a round in 2 hours, near the city, you should check this place out!

I recommend this track!

If you want a unique golf experience then I recommend playing here. It's certainly lived up to its billing as a target course, as opposed to the wide-open links courses that I typically prefer. This brings out a whole new mental part to the game and ensures that only a strategic hitter is successful. For me I found this to be refreshing and a whole lot of fun! The fairways and greens were really well maintained. Oh, and the beer is cheap! I'd play this course again any day!

A nice spot!

I played here in a twosome and walked away very impressed for the cost. The course is pretty easy which results in a relaxing and fund round. Minimal crowds. Cheap beers (with a couple IPA variety) in the clubhouse and hut at the turn. Just an overall fun golf experience. If I lived nearby I'd be out here with my friends often!

Excellent course

Had a great time playing here this August during a family vacation in Northern Michigan. It's a beautiful course that challenges you more often than not. I found myself not playing my best on this particular day, but it never took away from the experience. I loved the history in the clubhouse (lots of tribues to Arny). The course was in great shop. The bartender was a sweetheart. All said, it was a great afternoon! Thanks Manitou Passage

Love this course!

I have to say this place holds sentimental value for me... I love to play over the summer when I am at my friend's cottage nearby. One day we played 54 here lol! The value is unmatched. It's an executive course so you get your share of Par 3s and short Par 4s. Well maintained for the price. Friendly service at the clubhouse. BYOB. Don't forget to stop at the restaurant off the fairway on 17 before or after your round!

Get here!

I played here with my fiance (not a golfer) the weekend we got engaged. She had a great time sipping vodka soda's and appreciating all of the landscape. That says a lot about the natural beauty around this course! A few holes, in particular, are elevated and/or overlooking the big lake. Captivating. The fairways and greens are in top shape. Every time I drive by this course I want to stop and play!

Troon does golf right!

I played this course with my brother in late March of this year on the last day of our vacation. It's a unique track with lots of desert action on both sides of the fairway. Helps to mitigate lost balls off errant shots! Just keep an eye out for rattlesnakes. The course was very well maintained.

Great round!

Had a great time playing this course with my brother and 2 of our close friends on a golf trip. We stayed at the resort and I'd give that a 5 star as well. Love the pool and view of the golf course from the pool in particular. I found the course itself very approachable and well kept. No gimmicks just good old fashion grip it and rip it on a lot of holes! Waited 15 minutes or so off the first tee which is my only small knock. The bar has a patio that plays music as you look over the putting green. Fun times!

Fun course!

I very much enjoyed my round at the Karsten. Nothing in particular stands out about the course itself, but that works both ways. Not a word bad to say about it! The pro shop is fun with all of the ASU gear. The bar has a good variety of beers and a fun staff. I appreciated my time out there and would recommend playing!

Meh

Honestly this course was pretty brutal. Lost balls just off the fairway (why are the roughs cut sooo long?). We started 15 minutes behind our scheduled Tee time. Nothing special about the clubhouse. Sorry but I don't know that I'd recommend this course amongst all of the beautiful golf in South Carolina!

Worth the trip!

Loved the last few holes that end along the Ocean. Picture worthy! Very well maintained track. I had a great time here! My only knock was the $150 fee, somewhat expected and I don't like to knock a course on it's price, but felt a little overpriced on the whole.

Play it!

Strongly recommend this course! Championship caliber with a variety of tee-shots and challenges. Certain holes require high lofting shots in order to hold the green, and others require target shots in order to set up your approach. Overall a great variety of golf holes. As with all Troon Golf, the course is flush. Also, bonus points for naming each individual hole. That is a cool touch!
