The Preserve Golf Club
Played On 11/23/2022Fire the greenkeeper
The tee boxes are just sand and weeds and the greens aren't much better.
The Cedar River at Shanty Creek
Played On 09/15/2022Rock filled sand traps
Course was in great shape. Major problem are the sand traps which contain lots of small rocks. There are also many holes with blind shots. At what they charge, $169, I would expect pristine sand traps and better design to eliminate blind shots. We won't be back.
Garland Lodge & Golf Resort - Monarch Course
Played On 06/14/2022Bunkers......not!
The course was great except for the bunkers which had grass growing in them which means they don't ever get groomed by the grounds keepers. They also had lots of pebbles and stones in them. These bunkers are an embarrassment to an otherwise nice facility and course.
We will not be back...too many nice courses in Michigan who actually maintain the bunkers!!!!!

Played On 12/11/2020groundkeeper revenge
Lots of sand traps but unfortunately they are basically dirt and are not maintained or raked .
In addition, grass on greens is very thin so lightning fast. Many of the pins were placed on inclines so almost impossible to stop a putt near the hole.
Thank you for reviewing the course. Your feedback about the sand traps and greens is important to us. We are working to get everything at the course up to par. We are going to escalate your feedback to our team so we can make improvements before your next game. We will continue to work towards an excellent experience by using your comments for guidance. Thank you for playing Heritage Harbour Golf Club.
Shepherd's Hollow 1 Golf Course
Played On 09/11/2020miniature golf greens
Very challenging course if you want narrow fairways with blind shots, plenty of sand traps, lots of hills, and greens with no flat areas.
These greens have significant slopes.....in one case the ball runs down a slope from the pin off the green 30 feet(hole 22 right green. Not sure why the need for two greens here but we watched the foursome in front of us drive across the left green which was hidden by a hill in order to get back to the cart path.)
The course is also quite pricey and they don't give you a discount if you play all 27 holes(which we had to prepay for to reserve a tee time. We would have quit after 18 but had already paid for 27!)
If you like miniature golf style greens, and 3 putting, this is a course for you.
The course designer obviously didn't know anything about course design!
The Nightmare
Played On 08/27/2020Michigan Gem
This course, along with its sister course The Dream, are always our favorite to play. The fairways, greens, and sand traps are always in immaculate shape. We are always able to play in under 4 hrs due to the spread out tee times. The staff is very courteous and even provide a cooler with ice on the cart for your beverages. These courses are the model all other courses should emulate.
Senior rate of $55 is higher than most but the course is worth it especially since you can bring your own beverages.
Fox Run Country Club
Played On 08/26/2020uncut fairways
Course has potential ....good layout...fair greens.....unfortunately, the fairways hadn't been cut in awhile so the rough and fairway looked the same.

Snow Snake Ski & Golf
Played On 08/24/2020Best kept secret
Course was a pleasant surprise...great layout....cut thru the trees .....well kept greens and fairways to include flowers all around the course. I rated it as challenging because it has relatively narrow fairways.
Metamora Golf & Country Club
Played On 08/02/2018Blind shot special
Course has many blind tee shots which obviously holds up play while you wait for group ahead to look for balls or you have to guess when they have hit their second shot.
pace of play terrible...had to wait on each tee box....finally decided to quit after 17 when we saw two groups waiting on 18 tee box.
course layout is goofy...a couple holes with 90 degree turns and blind shots uphill to greens.....example
;
#18 90 degree turn then straight uphill to green and flag that you can't see.
We will not be back to this poorly designed course.
