Horrible slope, water laden from rain 3 days ago

Pros: Excellent staff, very friendly. That's about it.
Cons: We played the south course, layout was terrible because of overhanging tress off the tee. The course was filled with water in every hole from a rain that was 3 days ago. Any decent course will drain off completely in hours. Sand traps were filled with water. Green were practically flat. You can put from 50 feet and the ball will go like a putt putt golf course. Grass was obviously not cut, we lost at least 5 balls on the first cut of rough. If you are not in the fairway, you will not find your ball. 2 feet off the fairway and you won't find your ball.

Course getting progressively worse/Extremely slow pace of play

Can't believe that this is a city course that's in Livonia. Compared to the other 2 city courses (Fox Creek and Whispering Willows), this course is a shag. The fairways are not the greatest for prime time of the year.
As for the pace of play, it took 6 hours to play 18 holes, waiting at practically every hole. The concept of letting faster players play ahead is non existent and there's no ranger to speed up the pace of play.
