Great variety of holes. Course is usually in great shape. I've been playing this track for a long time and still play it about 10 times a year. Staff is great and senior rates are top notch. Tuesdays it's only a buck a hole for both seniors and young 'ins. Plus hot dogs are a buck, and they're flavorful beef ones, not the tasteless skinny ones offered t many places. Bowen Lakes , a track where golf is fun!

Course has top notch playing conditions , but was not a bucket list item like playing Pebble Beach (which I did in 1994 when I was 47) or visting the gravesite of Al Czervik (which I did when I toured the memorable attractions of L.A. last March). The terrain is fairly flat and there are no dramatic holes like 7,8,and 9 at Pebble or the third hole at Threetops in Gaylord, Michigan. Our foursome agreed that it was an OK course in great shape, but overhyped by Golf Digest and other evaluators of golf destinations. We were all disappointed with The Dunes. However, we did have a memorable tasty dining experience while enjoying a beautiful sunset on the deck of LimberJack's located on the tranquil shores of Houghton Lake. We capped our Northern Michigan golf excursion with some good natured golf banter and listening yo the social commentary of comedian Louis C.K. on our ride home. Lots of laughs after a ho-hum round of gawf. Save your $$ and use them on climbing Mt.Everest, skydiving , riding a professional rodeo bull, or playing Pebble Beach before you kick your bucketfull of shag balls.

In the words of the immortal Judge Smales, "Top Notch! Top Notch!

a fun course to play. greens were on the fast side which our group really enjoys. no houses or condos around makes for a relaxing atmosphere. big greens, so bring your A putting game.
