All around amazing experience

Really enjoyed everything about my visit. To start, Cantigny has one of the better practice facilities around. Multiple putting and chipping greens, large range with grass to hit off of and several indoor bays as well. We played Lakeside and Woodside. Course layout and scenery was great. Good mix of distances so I used most of my clubs, dog legs both ways. Water and woods were in play most holes, so it was fairly challenging as well. Luckily, the cart GPS system shows you everything and was also a big plus. Fairways, greens, bunkers, and tee boxes were all in excellent shape. Page of play was decent for a beautiful Saturday. If i had any complaints, the greens were maybe a touch slow but that probably helped my game and sometimes the carts shut off if you got close to certain areas but that’s minor. I will definitely be back; it’s my new favorite course.

Absolute Gem

It’s been a long time since I’ve played this course, and it was better than I remember (I was maybe 16 the first time I played). Very challenging and plays longer than listed. if you don’t hit the fairways, you’ll be in trouble. But there are also a fair share of inviting fairways. Greens were quick, and some had multiple tiers but very well kept. Sand traps had fine sand, not dirt with rocks in it like other courses. Layout was beautiful; tough to beat the pine trees lining every fairway with multiple small ponds and ravines. Beautiful spring Saturday am and the course wasn’t crowded at all. Will be returning.

Not a bad course

Fairly challenging course and layout, lots of water in play. A couple par 4s reachable to long hitters but very well guarded. Par 3s were all good length (cuz I know most ppl hate par 3s over (200 yds). Greens were well kept, and conditions were good, however the bunkers were AWFUL. All hard dirt and rocks, which made playing out of them very unpredictable. Probably my biggest beef. There’s a good stretch that is lined with houses too, my buddies pegged a couple. Overall fun a decently priced.

Fun Track

Lots of elevation in gbis course which made it fun. The course itself is very short, not too difficult. Not a lot of trouble, so it’s beginner friendly in that respect. Greens were deceptively fast, well kept. I wouldn’t mind playing again.

Really like this course

27 holes so you can get some variety. Course has been in great condition every time I’ve played. Pretty friendly course overall: fairly short, not tons of trouble as far as OB, water or heavy woods/heather, and errant tee shots can often be found in adjacent fairways. Greens are well kept, can be challenging. Being in the middle of a pretty busy city probably limits what they could do as far as layout but overall a track I’ll come back to play often.

Lots of Water!

Found the tee time on golf now so great value. A lot of water hazards which made for a challenging round. Great layout for the most part. Pretty well kept, including greens (a bit on the slow side). Really enjoyed it, I will be returning.

Difficult track

This course is not for beginners. I am about an 18 handicap and I shot a 102. Danger on both sides of every fairway, and one of the longer courses around. Lots of heather, woods, and water. Despite being very challenging, it was in very good condition. Greens were very fast, and undulating. Fun course though

C+/B-

Course was in good shape, although the fairways were kept very long. Greens are fairly slow also. Would return.

Thank you for the feedback, it is greatly appreciated. I did want to let you know, the fairways are not normally as long as they have been. We strive to provide the best conditions in mid-Michigan and will look to improve green speed and playability.

We look forward to your continuing patronage.
