Hearty

I've played just about every course in the Kalamazoo/Battle Creek area this year and Bedford Valley was the best value of this year! I am a member at another course in the area that has highly touted greens.... Bedford Valley's were better. In fact, they were the nicest greens I've played on this year! The rest of the course was simply stellar. The staff was great, the course was great, play moved at a good, quick pace and I had a wonderful time... until I added up my score. Which speaks highly for BV's challenging nature. And speaking of nature, the course is beautiful. The ol' girl might be a bit of a drive, but she is the forgotten jewel in the Scott's family crown! Hats off to the staff and crew who work there! Thank you for the attention to detail. Mowed roughs, manicured sand in the traps, plush fairways, and excellent greens.... It doesn't get any better than this! Thanks Bedford Valley!

First time on this course was both challenging and fun... and then challenging and not-so-fun. Not the course's fault... it was flawless! GLV provides a yardage and tips card along with the score card... USE IT! It's very accurate and will alert you of possible obstacles along the way! Proved to be VERY helpful (I was playing 3 other guys who were very familiar with the course...). Greens were moderate speed but in great shape (late Sat afternoon). REAL SAND...!, and the fairways were well manicured as was the rough. Beautiful course, set-up, and operation... as usual for this family of courses. Had a great time, can't wait to get back...! Staff was awesome!!

In the Kalamazoo area The Prairies is the standard by which we measure local courses. The course is always in great shape (especially this year!), it's always a challenge, the staff is always friendly, and it's easily accessible. "Always" seems to be an adequate one-word description for this course. Finding a "deal" is a bit difficult... they're a little stingy on price breaks, but the course seems to be doing well so they've probably got it priced right... Love playing here, just wish I could afford to play it more often... a LOT more often! Love it!

Despite the new owner's commitment to completely renovate this older gem, the course still holds its own when it comes to playability. EVERYTHING is currently being renovated... and they're doing a bang-up job everywhere on the course. If you haven't been here in the last two years you'll be quite surprised. The new owner seems to be completely serious about bringing this old girl back to her former glory and then some!. Currently, the clubhouse is only open for green fees and a few accessory items. No food, no drink, pay fees and use bathroom... that's it. We played under windy, rainy conditions on the front, the back was only slightly more hospitable. The course held it's own and despite the weather played flawlessly... no problems with standing water. Greens were not slow but not fast either... considering all the rain we had they rolled very true! Had a great time, and, as usual, the staff was great and cheerful (even on a gloomy day!). We'll be going back soon and can't wait to see the finished product! Very promising, indeed!! A salute to the new owner for not cutting corners and taking this course to a new level...! Thanks1

Ran into a lot of problems LAST YEAR (a 6-some of women *really* slowed down play... 4 groups waiting to tee off at about #14... called clubhouse but nothing was done... 5 hour round almost kept our group from ever coming back!). Not so this year. Pace of play was excellent and course was pretty nice (actually, very high praise considering this year's weather...!). Hit GolfNow for excellent rate on two of our group's rounds, and an add-on paid a fair rate to join us. Overall, it was a great time and the course seems to be returning to it's once prestigious rating. Thanks!

A beautiful day and a beautiful course that has been well maintained. Greens were moderately quick but still receptive to scoring irons., Putting was somewhat tricky but greens were well groomed and putts held their lines. Fairways were in very good shape and the tee boxes were well marked and fair. Pace of play started off a bit slow but picked up quickly. Overall, it was a great round on a true gem of a course! I highly recommend playing here!

Eastern is in as good a shape as I've seen it over the past 10 years. From the Tee boxes right up to the greens, everything was well manicured and kept. Play moved along at a very good rate and the food at the turn was very good and priced appropriately... and it was served with a smile!! Overall, our foursome had a great time and really enjoyed the round. Thanks Eastern!!

Despite the aftermath of the torrential rains we've had in this area, Indian Run is still in great shape. There is some new construction going on with two of the holes, but the hassle was minimal. The greens! Best greens I've played on this year! Probably the best greens in this area! Much faster than any I've played this year.
I had a good time! Played quickly, course was true and the weather held up. Staff was friendly and courteous. Nice place to play!

All things considered (course maint probably ended a month ago...), we had a great time playing Milham! The staff there are unbeatable - cordial, friendly and very helpful. Weather was a factor (44*) and it is the winter season, so getting to play at all is absolutely wonderful! And Milham did not disappoint. A hearty "THANK YOU!" to the staff and crew... Always a pleasure at Milham...!
