Played a wonderful 18 at the Sanctuary on a Monday afternoon; cruised through in about 3.5 hours (not sure what pace-of-play complaints are about!). Course was well kept, holes are nicely designed, not too easy and not too hard; the front nine is nice but you can see a bit of surrounding traffic etc--the back nine disappears into the woods and is absolutely lovely. Staff was friendly, and they stock Michigan craft beer! Beware the sneaky 17th hole: a 260-yard par 4...total man-eater.

Good course, challenging but not punishing. Very well kept, excellent greens. Pace of play was fine, not sure what the complaints are about--we played in 4 hours. Only major complaint is that the beer cart has lousy beer--let's get some Michigan beers out on these Michigan courses!!

A nicely laid out course that unfortunately is laid out through a suburban subdivision. Holes were nice and course was in decent shape, but pretty much every hole was surrounded by houses and busy roads, with constructions noises a constant--and the grounds-crew would not halt a lawn mower or edger to let a player swing. Staff was nice, pace was fine, but for $45 it was weird and noisy.

This is my local course, and I love it. For the price, it is in great shape, and is pretty challenging. They have lots of leagues and regulars so pace of play can slow down, but I have played many times as a single and have always enjoyed anyone I was grouped with.

Good hot deal made the price irresistible, but had tondrive way out to the course and, though it is pretty nice, had to give up after a 3-hour front 9. Overbooks, needs pace regulation, wouldn't recommend.

While I don't want to make this course more crowded--part of its charm is the price and its isolation at the end of a dirt road, in the woods, beautiful course--I have to be honest: I have played most of the courses in the area, and this is my favorite and a great bargain. Course is in great shape and very challenging, staff is excellent, and the pace tends to be decent. Top tier.

I played with a friend after a couple of days of heavy rain; the course was still a bit soggy, but overall in great shape, well maintained, excellent greens. It's a sneaky course, doesn't seem too tough but runs long and has some challenging greens. Staff was super friendly and the hot deal was great, well worth the money--only complaint is that they only stocked commercial beer--let's support local Michigan breweries!!

I got a good deal on 18 holes, only to arrive and find that it was a 9 hole course and they wouldn't let us make the turn--despite the fact that we were playing early morning and the league was afternoon. The course was ok, not super exciting, long grass--overall not a great experience.
