Got to course early on a Monday morning and a group of 3 teed off right before me. Funny thing is by time I finished up a few minutes after them no one else had arrived to play the course yet even 2 hrs later. So my pace of play was great as I played two balls most of time. There's a few holes that are challenging especially if your tee shot is erratic but it's not a difficult course. Favorite hole was #6 and the island par 3 #2 is a fun touchy shot. Very short par 4s with none over 400 yds and there's no par 5 which is a minor letdown. The course is maintained well unlike ones back where I live in metro Detroit area. If your looking for a quick 9 and don't want to spend more than $9 with no crowd if your in the Oscoda area I'd recommend ya give it a shot

Played front 9. Two par5s were favorite holes. I liked it but the tee boxes and greens are not in good shape. If they got those in order it'd be a really nice course, especially for the metro Detroit area

Went out for twilight around 5:30 to play West course. Course is not in good condition, lots of crabgrass on fairway, if people fixed their ball marks the greens would be in decent shape. Cart paths have multiple giant tree roots to drive over throughout the course and the fairways can be quite the adventure as well with the small, dried up choppy mounds some holes have. The signs at the tees need updating as well cause the description will show it's a straight hole and when you play em they tend to slightly dogleg left or right. My biggest complaint would be groups just playing randomly bouncing out of order playing the course. Even had one group admitting to doing that because that's what they do during twilight were his exact words. So a couple times had to wait for some clowns to tee up and then hit their approach shots. It seemed that's what a lot of groups were doing though! I've never really experienced that at other courses during twilight. Not sure if there's a ranger riding around but tonight could of benefited having one. Clubhouse staff wasn't the friendliest either. A hello or directing us where and when we're supposed to tee off would of been nice instead of us having to initiate it. One positive is a few of the holes have nice layouts, in particular 10-13. Also $17 for the 17 holes we played is great value. That'd be the only reason I'd go back or recommend to a friend. All in all I was left disappointed and I think Donald Ross wouldn't appreciate how the course has been kept up. Weathers no excuse. This was the worst course of 7-8 courses I've played this summer. Only positive about it is it was still green for the most part
