Hills, Jungle, and Marsh it's all here

Purchased a Hot deal, so the price was right. I haven't played the course in several years, not sure what to expect. The day was perfect. We started on the Marsh that begins with a Par 3. Not too bad eh ! The Marsh is a great 9 hole course, with many challenges, Good shape, fair greens. We were then sent off to the Hills. Another great nine holes. The greens were fair to us, you could stick a shot. The staff friendly and helpful. Recommended for a test of skill.

Speedy golf

It was an overcast dat, but no rain. The course is a good everyday course. There is a club house and tavern / bar. Plus a practice driving range to warm up. The fairways are wide enough and the tree lining the fairways not too thick. This course gets you on the greens. Most are sloped back to front. Most greens are protected on most sides by marsh or brush. The greens are big enough, just don't over shoot them. Approach below the pin on every green, else pay the consequences. Fast play / week day. The people playing on the course were friendly.

Give it your best shot

Twilight golf. a couple of groups, in front of us should have been playing from the red tees, yes they are for guys too. The course was in good shape. Some greens rolled well, some were furry and bumpy. Tee box 14 was like trying to drive a tee into hard clay.. The course itself: Well, I'm not fond of holes with blind fairways, not knowing what's beyond a large mound blocking ones view. thus forcing a lay up, only to be faced with a long second shot into a par 4. Plus many doglegs, narrow fairways, water and marshland, again forcing layups. I will have to play this course a few times to figure out the shot placement necessary to shoot a decent score on this course. Bring extra water balls. I think, once I figure out this course, it'll be fun.

Wind and rain kept most duffers away

The wind was stiff and the sprinkles of raindrops on my head present during the round. A polite slow foursome let us play through and it was smooth sailing afterwards. We were hitting our drives well, fast pace, and finished just within 4 hours. Miracles do happen at Devils Ridge. Beautiful course, Good rates. Little bit of a Gaylord feel to the course. If you spray your tee shot, bring an extra box of golf balls. There are woods, marshland, and water on each side of the fairways and greens. Well worth the money to play a beautiful course. Pick your tee box wisely.

Very slow play, tough greens, but plenty of sun

The course was in good condition. The clubhouse and cart staff was friendly. I think the person setting the pins has anger issues. The greens were fast and pin placement were very difficult as the ball would not hold and roll off the green. I think that led to the slow play on a Sunday for the group In front of us that was putting way too many times. Do You want to speed up play, set the pin using USGA guidelines, then give the recreational golfer a little more of a break on top of that on the weekend. Save the impossible pin placement for the leagues.

A little bit of everything

First time on course and most likely not my last. The front nine is easier than the back nine. The back nine brings swamp, trees, and water into play. The greens are tricky and deceiving. The course was well groomed and the greens in very good shape. I played on a day July 22, 17 that rained off and on all day, so hardly any gofers on the course.. I got lucky and caught a 3 hour window with no rain and finished 18 holes just before the skies opened up once again. No other golfers = fast play, That is if you are striking the ball well.

Slow pace of play

Nice course and challenging, waited too long on every hole. 5.5 hours to play 18. Course torn up. Greens need repair. Scenic.

Interesting course if you haven't played

Front nine is the easier, back nine brings many creeks and trees and the river into play, Area flooded a few times this year and damaged more than a couple grassy areas. Lots of clay and little grass in those areas. . This year A few courses along the Clinton river experiencing similar issues. Mother Nature brings additional difficulty to each hole. That could be a good thing. Leave your high bounce wedges at home.

What an improvement

The greens are very well maintained, cut and running about 10. Green approach requires a good touch with your wedge play. The fairways are well groomed with the rough cut accordingly. This is a course that shouldn't be missed this season. Played this course a few years ago when under previous owners, and was not happy. The New owners are doing this course right. New superintendent has it under control. Black, blue, white, and red tee boxes. A good course for all. All levels of play taken into consideration. They Keep this up and they will earn a golf digest award. I will play again. Rates still very reasonable. Food very reasonably priced. Up north feel.

Interesting and well kept

Friendly and accommodating staff. The course is challenging, but not overly difficult, for the average golfer. Greens are in good shape . Tee boxes in good shape. Just enough trouble to keep it interesting.

End of season and course shows it

The greens require attention, repair. Fairways were soggy. Play was slow. I've seen this course in better shape. No dislike, just ok.

Great place for a Kolve game

Great course with several very challenging holes. Accommodating club house, and staff. Great pick as a destination for friends, and business associates. Not easy, not difficult. All will come away with a story or two.
