Old Faithful Wesburn

I have grown to really like this course… it gets a lot of traffic so it is a little beat up (shout out to all golfers - respect the putting surface my people!! - we all gotta take a second to fix your ball mark on the green and maybe another one if you see it!)
I do really like the old fashioned lay out here - smaller greens - mostly all sloped from back to front. We played on a Monday - flew through the course!!

Outstanding!!

Played Lakes and Woods
Fantastic course!
Beautiful elevation changes! One very long carry over water on the lakes course. They are busy working on the details…
I will be back again to play the other 9
Thanks for a great round!

Much Improved

This course is in great shape! So glad to see that they are taking better care of it. Great track! Layout is very hilly and challenging, and it is tough to keep the ball on the many elevated/crowned greens.
$25 or better is a steal here!!

Not my favorite of the Detroit metro park courses

I know it is early in the season, but the tee boxes and rough were in pretty raggedy shape. Side note: I was having a bad day keeping it in play off the tee so perhaps that is souring my opinion. But, the course design seems to favor slightly elevated or crowned fairways that fed lots of my crooked shots off into the woods and water. I struggled here.
Greens we’re in very good shape. I like Hudson Mills, Kensington and Willow Metro more than this one.

Great afternoon at Bello Woods

Played on a Monday. The starter let us go off on the Gold 9 - no one in front - no one behind us!
Gold was very tight back in the woods.
Played the Red 9 second - much more wide open. Nice change of play! All the greens were in really good shape. Want to come back to play the White Course

Rest In Peace Jerry Mathews!

I just read that hall of fame golf designer Jerry Mathews passed away last week. My condolences to his family and friends.
Thank you to him for all the fantasic golf he has have given us here in Michigan. Loved this course! I can see why this is considered one of Mr. Mathews “signature” designs. Gorgeous and tough but I would say - not too difficult.
Hole 1 is a tough start with a lay up or tough carry over water decision right out of the gate. Elevated Greens winding through valleys and rolling hills follow after this with some up hill fairways and some down hills throughout. Hole 8 is another brutal lay up or try to carry over the marsh go for it spot. Loved the par 3s - especially 14 and 17 both from elevated tees requiring really accurate distance. Hole 18 is an epic test to again go for it over the wetlands to the small green or lay up. Can’t wait to play this place again!!

Still great course - Very Busy for a Monday in November

First time I have played here in a long time and it still is a great track and the value with the golf now app hot deal couldn’t be beat. Its a very playable course and it was in great shape for late in the year. One big bummer was that they charge $10 to get into the metro park before you can get into the golf course parking lot.
Also surprised at how many golfers they pushed out onto the course on a Monday in November when the temp hovered under 60 degrees! Pace was pretty slow but good day regardless..

Great Course

Loved the course! Played on a Monday and it was rather congested but great track. Greens were structured excellent even though they were recently aerated. The OB right side of fairway on hole 2 was an aggravating surprise but it was a fun round.
Great practice facility with range and 3 practice holes!!
Will definitely come back!

Great day to start the season!

Classic River course on the North East side of town - plays through flood basin - reminds me very much of Rouge Park, Warren Valley, and Wesburn on the other side of Detroit..
Old growth trees lots of thin passages.
Cool course staff was excellent!!
Thanks!

Black Lake is totally worth the drive!!

First time here. Course is so great!! Cant say enough about it. Cut out of the woods - no houses on this bad mother! Clean and mean with elevation changes babbling brooks running thru it and dear and turkey out and about. Starters were so cool and very informative. Cart had perfect GPS system too. Most impressive was it was early in the morning and they let my broken down 84 year old Dad ride along in the cart with me for no charge! Unforgettable experience for both of us!! Big Thanks!! Don’t miss this place.

Great Stadium Style Course!

First time I played here. Great modern course! Really cool track with holes cut into wetlands - very challenging. Fairways were in great shape for the end of the season. Only two complaints. 1) Played on the 12th and greens were just aerated which was a big bummer. I thought course website stated that this wasn’t happening until October 19th
2). Starter put the two of us off with another couple on a Monday when nobody was behind us all morning!?
Want to play it with smooth dance floors...
Definitely will play it again for sure!

Main problem- Unbelievably slow. Way over booked on a Monday!
Course layout is so nice, short but difficult. The greens are sloped and very challenging but lots and lots of unrepaired ball marks and areas of fairways roped off/under repair on almost every hole! Course could be fantastic. Elevation changes and rolling hills all over but unfortunately it needs some TLC in a real bad way.

Old school track with very Wide Fairways

Course is over 100 years old! Wide fairways help me make my round much more enjoyable as I forever have trouble staying straight off of the tee! An unbelievable price on golf now - great beer selection from cart girl - will play again!

Love this 9 hole course!

Tucked away nicely and secluded for a metro area course. I saw only one building the entire way - no roads - no houses, nothing! Course is short but tricky with lots of dog legs and several upside down saucer greens. You really have to pay attention to your club selection here. Played for only $8 plus fees on golf now! Huge driving range next door. No bar/restaurant here but starter was great! Highly recommend this hidden track!

Back 9 is beautiful!!!! Front 9 is being redesigned...

Great rate on golf now!! The guy working in the pro shop was just super. Played the front nine with some cool local gents - good thing because they have the front a little tangled up - changing the layout and it was a bit confusing.
Long drives to some new tees.
Back nine was really outstanding with several picturesque greens surrounded by trees.
Great day overall - would like to come back when front is all reset!

Extremely well maintained track!

Course was in outstanding shape - tees fairways and greens! Not a whole lot of trees on this course as track is set up surrounded by farmland. Greens were fast and mostly flat. Pace of play was great but I played it in a Tuesday afternoon so it might be worse on the weekend? The best thing of all is I booked it on golf now "hot deal" for just $10 for 18!!!! Can't beat it!!!

Nice short Course - Small Greens

Great course for a short driver (220ish) like me! Long hitters will not be able to use driver on a lot of the front 9 holes and almost all the holes on the back nine - which has a ton of heavy dog legs and is a lot thinner then the front. Small greens were in great shape and course was very well maintained! Great rate thru GOLFNOW hot deal that I found on a Sunday morning too!!

56% off from golf now hot deal was the key!

Great price on golf now! Course was average overall. Easy to play. Rough was cut very low - not really rough at all. Inconsistent conditions from hole to hole some much better than others. Some traps clean others with rocks. Several greens were cut too low - scalped - cut lines showing and also some oil stains from mower. Grumpy old dude at the counter where you pay to start the day was uncool but had a great time anyway!
