Quite the Round @ Black River

Black River is a classic old layout with tight fairways lined with mature trees. Greens are pretty accessible and allow for scoring. Pace of play was slow but it was a Sunday afternoon so you can't really complain.

My first round @ Black River became very memorable when I aced the par 3 13th hole for my first hole in one! And it ended with a severe t-storm that swept in with hail as I finished 18.

Overall, it was a very good day! I'll certainly be back.

Quail Ridge

Nice course, a few quirky holes but overall, an enjoyable round. The rough is thick and the greens are tough to stop your approach shots on, land them short and run it up. Greens also are super fast.

Journey through Wetlands

The Myth is a nice shortish course that winds through forests and wetlands. The course is fair with plenty of holes which you can score. The par 3's are long and #15 is especially long with a tee shot through a tight window & a forced carry over a pond all the way to the green, tough hole! The greens were nice but slow. AND please, can people repair their ball marks on the greens! There must have been 50+ ball marks on each green that weren't repaired.

Overall, it's a nice course and I'd probably play it again.

Tough track

This is an extremely tough track from the silvers (6500) with some long carries and narrow fairways. Greens were varied from fast to super slow so putting was a challenge. Pace of play was slow due to the front 9 being cart path only but it opened up on the back 9. The course has a good layout, beautiful scenery.

I'm not sure that I'd return again. If I did, it'd probably be from the silver/green combo tees or the greens. Tough course!

Whispering Pines - Great course

First time playing Whispering Pines and it's definitely a great find! The course is set out nicely through a suburban setting but you don't really notice because of the beautiful tree lined fairways. The fairways are fair off the tee but you need to hit it accurately because the fairways are also very sloping and rolling. The greens also have more break than you see especially #15 & #18. Had my best round ever shooting 79! Definitely will be back, great course!

Metamora - must play!

First time playing Metamora after hearing good things about it. I've played other courses in the area (Devil's Ridge, Boulder Pointe) and Metamora is equal if not better than them. The course has lots of elevation changes throughout with plenty of holes with water in play. It's a must play and I'll definitely play it again!

Mystic plays quite hard (high rating and slope) but is nicely layed out and very good condition. Has 5 different tee boxes for all player levels which will make the day enjoyable. Definitely will return in the future.

Lapeer

Average course for the price. Course was soggy from the previous nights rain. Back 9 is very up & down from tee to green with some extremely difficult holes. Had to start the back 9 on #13 due to a men's league and loop back to finish #10-12. Would much rather play other courses in the Lapeer/Oxford area.

Peaks/Dunes

First time playing Boulder Pointe and it didn't disappoint! I had heard good things about the course and wanted to experience it. The layout of the course was awesome around the lakes, marshes and even through the housing (houses didn't crowd the holes). The fairways and greens were in great shape which led to a great round! It may be my new favourite course in SE Michigan! I will definitely return!

Nice course along the shores of Lake Michigan with beautiful views (#3,4,12&13)! Even though the layout is short, you must hit precise shots to score well. Also, the greens were super hard to read...don't play as much break as you think.

Eldorado - Tough layout

Challenging course for playing it for the first time (you'd score 5-6 shots lower if played again). Course is nicely laid out with a combo of open and wooded holes with some challenging shots, carries to the greens. Overall, a very enjoying round. Would play again if in the area.

Fore Lakes - Great Deal

Got a great hot deal ($10) to play a good course. Was able to soot around in just over 3 hours, not too many people out due to the threat of rain. Overall, good course for a great price.

Great Course for a great deal!

Played Devil's Ridge in the late afternoon and it couldn't have been better! The course has a beautiful layout along with great views of the land and wildlife. Playing the course for the first time, I was a little worried but the course rewards good shots with some scoring opportunities. There are some tough holes (#9 - uphill into the wind, #12 - extremely uphill and into the wind) but others that let you score (#13 - handicap 1, birdied it). The only downside is #10 (weird layout) and got stuck behind a senior men's league on the back 9.

Overall, I thought the course was awesome and will definitely make it a course that I will play numerous times during the upcoming summer.

Hidden Oaks

Played an early round in 2.5 hours! The course was dry and some of the fairways were patchy. They said they had just fixed the sprinkler pump that day so I'm assuming the course will be in better shape in a few weeks time. I enjoyed the differing layouts of the front & back 9's (front - wide open, back - tree lined). Would return to play Hidden Oaks again especially for $15.

Very nice course, great value!

Played a mid-morning round and was paired with 3 guys from Detroit and had a fantastic day at Richmond Forest. The front 9 is wide open with lots of water and the back 9 is more wooded -- both bring their own challenges. The course was in pretty good shape and the greens were very fast and rolled pretty well. I will definitely come back and play here again this year.

Can't beat the price!

The course was in decent condition for the excessive amount of rain in the area lately. The course is fair with a good amount of water and marsh hazards giving iyou enough of a challenge. And for the price, I'll definitely be back for another round.
