Great up north course without the great cost.

This was my second trip up there in as many weeks, took my new to golf son the first weekend and my best friend this past Sunday. My son loved the place and he had a blast. Me and my friend both agree this course is well worth the drive we took and will be going back again.
The layout is nice with some easy holes and some not so easy. The course was in excellent conditions. bunkers were all raked clean, greens and fairways were also in great shape. The staff when we arrived was very friendly as always and they appreciated the fact we drove an hour and a half to visit them (again). Give this place a try you might find a new favorite like I did.

Nice surprise

Well I made a great review and had zero amount of bad language in it but I was critical of golf now and it would not let me post it. Error message, my text contained inappropriate language in it, yea okay nice try but no it did not! To put it short, the course was in great shape for the weather, the owner was wonderful to work with even after a mix up, he was put on hold from GN for a while and finally said the heck with it go golf. I will be back for sure!

Worth the money

We went in the afternoon on a hot deal and the course was almost empty due to I believe the heat and humidity. Overall the course was in very nice shape, we had no pressure on us and since we arrived early the staff allowed us to go out before our tee time which was great. This is a nice place to work on your game since there are some placed shots needed and a couple really good dog legs.

very nice course

First off I got this for a hot deal ($10) and for this price I was worried the course would be terrible. I can say I was pleasantly surprised to find the course was in great shape, was laid out nice, well taken care of and gave me a challenge. One last thing to add is this; I have never been to a course that had ball washers that did not smell like sewer water, instead they used bleach I believe to keep it clean and it was fantastic to see this attention to the customer.

Still a nice course

Golfed here many times under the old Bay City Country Club name and always had a good challenging round. This time out was almost perfect except they had ball washers out that were empty, yes it is still April and it may get cold but filling them half way would have been better than no cleaner at all.

Save the trip and cash

I have not written any bad reviews on any courses but for this one I had to. It is important to all of you so I will be honest here.
The tee boxes had very tall grass mixed with weeds, the fairways had more crab grass than I have ever seen in my life and it was not cut well at all. The staff was very nice and the overall condition of the building was good as well as the carts. The front nine is okay for a challenge but the back will give you more of a challenge forcing you to either carry or lay up. This course could be so much more and has the potential to be a very nice place to golf but not now. I would not play this again if it was only $10 that is how bad it was. Save the trip and the cash and go elsewhere.

Hey Matt,

My name is Nick Brennan Hidden Oaks Golf Course in St Louis MI, 48880 has just recently been sold to a new owner whom I trust very much. I am emailing you to see if you would like to come down and play a free round on us this summer?

I have been a member there since I was a kid, and I couldn't agree more the past couple of years have been managed poorly, we have been busting our butt's out there to get it back in good shape.

If you are interested please email me back thanks!

Great day of golf in Bay City

My very first impression was not that great as the man working the pro shop seemed a little unfriendly and somewhat rude but when we went out to the cart area the man working there was great. Once we got the go ahead to golf this same man came up to us asking if this was our first time and when we said yes he gave us a course layout book and some very helpful tips all the while smiling and laughing with us, this is the kind of person that will bring us back there. We also met a ranger on hole two that came up and spent a few minutes talking about the course and the next few holes and how they would be a challenge and he was dead on, thank you for the tips. The course itself was in great shape, the greens did have some kill off on them but that in no way made the day bad, the place was very fun to golf at I had a great round and will be back.

Great destination

I took my wife and my friend who are high handicap golfers and we all had a blast here. It is indeed very hills as the name implies and you need to have a good game or be prepared to lose some balls. Even with the challenge of the hills and many dog legs I loved this course, well kept and has great scenery. I highly suggest trying this course you will not be sorry you did.
