Very Nice. Very Fun.

The course definitely leaves you with some tough decisions and bad breaks with the lie angles and uneven fairway lies, but overall is rewarding if you can adjust and strike the ball solid. I love this course and i will definitely be back!

Never Again

This is the second time I've played this course and both times the pace of play was an absolute joke. Yes, there's a ranger on duty but nothing it's ever taken care of. But my big complaint is the overall course design...if your a long hitter don't even bother. I had no choice but to use driver on their par 5's seeing as they were over 500 yds, and every good blast would land or roll into a hazard you didn't even know was there. If you played it short you would have to hit a tour caliber shot to reach and score, also leaving you NO room for error. Their greens are perfect circles with NO CHARACTER what so ever. Some are circus style with pin positions on the top of a green that slopes almost 160° downward. I'll never play here again, it's not made for long hitters or solid ballstrikers because of all the trees and misplaced hazards. Oh by the way, their tee boxes are hardpan, divot riddled slopes as well....

far too congested

Today, sadly, will be the last time I play this course. The players club has turned this course into a mass gathering. While this is very good for the employees, it has made it unbearable for golfers. I've tee'd off as early as Noon and haven't been able to finish more than 12 holes before work at 5. The fairways are destroyed with unfixed divots, the greens are littered with HUNDREDS of unrepaired ball marks and when you add that with booking 4 groups per hole, it's a recipe for disaster. I understand the membership is unbeatable but for low handicap golfers this place is not for you. I hope this opens up surrounding courses.

swamp

First time I played the course it rained all weekend. The fairways and the greens hold water like crazy. Quite a few times the guys I played with couldn't position their ball as well as I could, leaving them with no choice but to take relief from the standing water in the fairway. Some times we had to take relief on the GREENS. I'd like to play mid summer to see if it's better, but if it rains, I'd look elsewhere :/

a few bad apples

When I signed up for their players club, everything sounded too good to be true...and it was. I was told I would have NO PROBLEM golfing as a single (being a 7.2 hcp I wouldn't be holding anyone nor rushing anyone) that lasted one week. The starter Ed isn't too fond of young players who wear flat bill hats, every time he spoke to me he was direct and rude. I did nothing to deserve this. One of the girls in the clubhouse would literally roll her eyes if you walked in while she was eating or sitting down, heaven forbid you had to make her work at WORK. Everyone else is perfectly friendly and comforting! As for the course...it's clogged with people. Ball marks on the greens are absolutely astounding. The bunkers are hard pan dirt. No one fixes or replaces their divots, and for the quality of people who golf there? THREE TIMES in one round I had three different seniors pick up my ball just feet away from the fairway, and would get nasty and throw my ball back no where near where they snatched it when I confronted them about it!! A few bad apples and extremely slow play make it cringing...but the players club is just too good of a deal for an every day golfer like me.

Great course

This course is definitely challenging your first time around, yet the course condition was so unmatched I had no problem navigating from even my worst shots. The greens are small so you have to be on point, but if you can control the ball, they're extremely responsive! I loved this course and I will be back!

too slow

I don't have enough space to explain why this place isn't worth it. Do yourself a solid and find another course near by, because remember this place is a Metro Park...not just a golf course.

money hungry

ATTENTION ALL GOLFERS!!! This place books multiple groups for one single tee time and has NO RANGER on duty! It took me (a single) just about 3 hours to play nine holes w/ a cart. I was told that I actually PAID MORE using GOLFNOW, when GOLFNOW says I'm saving 15%??...But worst of all, after 3 hours of slothing around the front 9, I told the man working that I didn't have another 3 hours to play a 6 hour round of golf and would like a rain check. I was told that I would only be given half credit for 9 holes w/ a cart, and that I would have to pay the other half (after I was told earlier I paid TOO MUCH!) So if you like extremely slow, congested golf that may take 6-7 hours, this place is for you! I will NEVER EVER return to this snobby, money hungry golf course again! Find a course that cares more about YOU the golfer and not just your pockets, like Harbour Club in Belleville, Green Oaks in Ypsi, or Riverview Highlands.

deep freeze

I love this course, their greens were hit hard by the freeze this year causing the deepest areas of the greens to die and dry. There are only a few greens affected, leaving the rest of the course in more than fair condition for all golfers. Don't let a few mother nature scars ruin a beautiful/challenging yet rewarding course.

challenging

Short hitters may have problems with the championship course but there's always the par 3 course. Hole numbers 13, 14, and 15 are triplet par 4's, with narrow fairways guarded by tall Pines. If you can survive those three holes at par, the closing three are scoring holes to shoot low!
