Most people will like this course because its is laid out on lots of property within a Metro Park in Natural Surroundings in the suburbs. It is very playable for most levels of players with an excellent Practice Area. Nature abounds on this course with Wild Turkeys, Deer and Fox. It is enjoyable to play because the holes are spread out so you don't have people from adjacent holes playing on your fairway. This course would easily rank around a 85 out of 100 for most golfers.

For 1st time golfers to this course, you better play with someone that is quite familiar with the course. This course is really not for high handicappers because of it's complexity. There are lots of blind shots and drives. Experience on this course would help with course management. A Skycaddie would have helped because distances are deceiving and it would give you a good layout of the hole and hazards you are playing. This is definitely a ridding course. Information Flip Cards on the carts would be of great help.

I booked my round on GOLFNOW and played for $9.99. I could not believe it when two of the nearest courses were going to cost $25 - $35 to play on equal courses. The course was not busy and I even practiced in the practice area by myself for almost 1 1/2 hours before my round.
The course was is very good condition, and because I have played it before made it easier to play well.

I would recommend this course to anyone to play from about 4-20 handicap.

The course is very fair and not difficult with good course management. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

Considering the time of year, late October on a windy 60 degree day, the course was in very good condition and the greens were excellent for anytime of year. The Links Style Course was quite challenging in the wind, especially with all the elevation changes.
This is a very nice complete Municipal Course that the city of Troy has. I would whole heartily recommend this course. It might be a challenge for the high handicaper with the high grass and some target landing areas.
