Fun fair challenge

Good challenge with some forgiveness for inaccurate shots on most holes. Fairways and greens in excellent shape. Friendly management with good information knowing it was my first time on the course.

Surprise

For a public course that gets an extreme high level of play, I was very surprised about the excellent conditions. The course is short and flat, but still has its challenges requiring good shots.

Great variety, challenging layout

Great mix of short, long, tight and open. Water on 16 holes but even an average golfer will only find it coming into play and altering a shot or making for a serious challenge on 3 or 4 holes. Greens fast and true. Fun course, excellent challenge.

Challenging approach to fast greens

An errant shot can cost you big time. Very challenging course requiring soft high shots to greens. A good drive on the fairway can still leave a difficult shot due to the pitches, mounds and hills on the fairway. Several blind shots. A very difficult course, but interesting well maintained layout.

Unique

Played here 10 years ago and was extremely disappointed with conditions. I was pleasantly surprised given the vastly improved greens and fairways now. They were top notch. The layout is a bit quirky with doglegs and hazards but a fun challenge. Lots of bumpy cart travel on boardwalks over marshland.

approach shot critical

Caught up to two slow foursomes on the back nine but weather was perfect and the course fun. New condo construction detracts from the view but course layout not negatively impacted. Missing the green on many holes means very difficult wedge shots, so plan your approach shots carefully.

elevations and vistas

Traveling south on I-75 from Michigan, my wife and I played a round. Enjoyed it so much stayed in the area and played the next day also. Greens, fairways and bunkers in great shape.
Can be played long or short and each hole has a very different challenge from each of the 4 tees. Large greens so watch pin placement carefully. Also watch fairway pitch and elevations.

complete fun challenge

All four nines can satisfy any level of golfer depending on which of 5 tees are played. Although in a housing community, the course is expansive and does not have that closed in housing development atmosphere. Great atmosphere, practice facilities and organization.

Tricky middle nine

Tees, fairways and greens are in excellent condition.
The course has had significant improvement over the past 10 years.
The middle three holes - 4,5 and 6 require a clear knowledge of yardage that can only be determined by playing these holes a second time. Distance to and over the hazard needs clear marking with a visible post from the tee - narrow and tricky.
This is a fun short course for a casual round. A serious golfer could be easily frustrated by some slow beginner play.

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.

Mini mogul challenge

The first time on this course makes it very difficult.
Both sides of fairways are lined with mini moguls and greens are well protected with large deep traps and elevation. Greens are very fast and difficult to hold. Bring your GPS since the layout is hard to read especially if you miss the fairway. A challenge for single digit handicappers.

A fun challenge

Excellent layout with a chance for the good to average golfer to score well. Yet, plenty of challenge.
Very pleasant scenery away from noise and housing.
Would play this course many time if lived in the area and will for certain plain again when traveling in the area.

Fantastic

Outstanding in every way. Only one concern - needs distance markers preferably on sprinkler heads. Bring your GPS. Also, be prepared for bunker play-well protected greens and fairways.

Enjoyable good test of your golf skills.

Course has lots of play but moves along quickly. Not a place for slow or novice players. Interesting layout with good mix of holes. Greens in great shape but on the slow side.

Big Greens and Big Fairways

Very enjoyable course with huge well conditioned greens. Big hitters only on back tees since drive needs to be 260 yards plus on several holes. Nice layout with good variety ending with a monster challenge on 18.

Long, short, anyway you want it.

A perfect course for a sunny no wind 75 degree day. A links feel but has some shade areas with surrounding woods but they do not come into play. Wind would make this course very difficult.
From the back tees, the course would be too much for a handicapper above 9. Go blue tee or white which is more of a senior tee. Approaches to greens have a high level of challenge. Greens are large and well maintained but not super fast.
Fun interesting course.

Tight and scenic for a suburban course

Large greens that would ordinarily be challenging but were recently aerated. Played East to South. East greens were not sanded with dimples 1-2 inches deep and impressions the size of dimes - putting with accuracy hopeless. South greens not much better.
Course plays short so an accurate driver and wedges are key. Never used a 7, 8 or 9 iron. Did use a 5 iron and hybrid 4 on some par 4's along with a 3 wood on par 5's.
Fortunately got out before an outing and things moved well.

Good variety of holes with plenty of trees lining the fairways

Fun challenge. Ground is hard packed especially on approach to the green - soft landing a must. If you run hard toward the green expect a long roll.

Up and Down

As the name implies, most often you are teeing off from a hilltop, down a valley and up to the green. Greens often hard to read - several very slow, some fast even when correctly reading elevation. Lots of elevation on greens in very good condition. This is a tight course. Some nice scenery but you might also see activity on three holes when playing your hole.
Fairways are narrow and require accuracy especially on doglegs. You may need to be extreme right or left in order to have a good shot to the green. A bit odd there was not a starter on a crowded day but players moved along at a moderate pace.
