My wife and I played this course a few years back, enjoyed it then enjoyed it now. Course was in good shape, play moved fast, and rangers were constantly on the move.

1st time playing here. My wife and I played as a 2some with 7:30AM tee time. 2 men teed off at 7AM and we followed right behind. 3 hour round. Very nice design, only negative comment is that on some fairways and some tee boxes, no one uses the sand filler, hence big divots and sod. Greens were nice sized and very fair on their designs, no massive swales or humps. Would definitely play again.

We arrived before our tee time and were allowed to go out earlier than expected. I asked about the number of players and was told a 5some went about about 1/2 hour earlier, and I knew we'd catch them pretty quick. A single was out behind them. I asked about the possibility of going off 10, and he said as long as no one was coming down 9, OK do it. We got to 10 found a 4some ahead of us. Decided to take our time, and had an enjoyable 9 holes, under 2 hrs. On 18, the 5some arrived at 10, now 2+ hours for the 1st nine, and lo and behold, the single was sitting on the tee box, just waiting. We played the front nine by ourselves with not a sole on it. played overall about 3 hours. I am very much opposed to 5somes as more times than not they figure they own the course and have no obligation to let people through. The Laurel Oaks pro shop is way above average but the 5some issue needs to be addressed, even though it didn't affect us directly.

Been a few years since we played this course, and got it for a good rate. Course was pretty wet and there was no roll out and lots of plugged balls. Saw more employees than golfers. Course was in decent shape for this time of year. I believe only 1 hole was roped off from carts. Greens pretty decent shape. Played in under 3 hrs. It's a definite course to play when the course has dried out, and you get a good rate. There were a few more golfers on the other 2 courses.

The lady in the pro shop was very accomodating as we paid cosiderably less than the golf now rate. The course has a great deal of native grasses that make it somewhat difficult to maneuver. The 1st hole is a good example, but the course begins to play a little easier as you progress. The carts have tracking mechanism that keeps you away from tees and greens, and we had to negotiate that dilemma more than once, not that we were very close to them, but you have no idea how far or close you need to be. We were basically the only people on the course with a 9AM tee time, but the guys were showing up pretty heavily when we turned after 9. We played in slightly more than 3 hours. Greens were in very good condition.

Have played here before, and enjoy the layout. We got off ahead of our tee time behind a twosome, and played under 3 hrs, a new husband and wife record. Play the right tee box, keep ball in play, know where to park the cart at greens and go. For the time of year the course was in respectable condition. One problem is that they have all but lost the 2nd green. Should probably go temporary and rebuild it. Enjoy the layout a great deal, fun course to play.

Decent HHI golf course. Was able to get out ahead of our tee time, and that helped immensely as the group right behind us fell 2 holes behind mid way through the round and consequently held people up. Course was in nice shape except for the fact that the greens were very slow, which makes for a frustrating round.

Was a beautiful day, got there about 50 mins ahead of the tee time. We were told that there had been a substantial delay due to fog. In actuality we were about 25 mins behind our designated tee time. Got paired up with another couple which was nice but after a few holes we hit the wall, waiting on each shot and on the tees. It was probably about 2:30 for the 1st nine then got progressively slower, left after 13 holes. Now I understand how everything got bunched up, however, they need an on course ranger to prevent this from happening again.

My wife and I have played this course once or twice the last few year when we visited Madison, Indiana. Course was in good shape everything cut and maintained. Literally no one was on the course, granted the weather was a little chilly. This I think is an ongoing problem with the more rural public golf courses, lack of customers. The owner and a few of his employees were very friendly. I would certainly recommend this course for beginners, couples etc. A good course to learn the game on.

Had a 9AM tee time, got here early and we were allowed out. Young man in the pros shop was very nice. It is a wonderful golf course layout, but could use an influx of cash for maintenance and upkeep. As another reviewer stated, you basically have gravel in the bunkers instead of sand. The course was a bit shaggy and had a lot of grass clippings in the fairways.. Some weeds and clover are invading the roughs, greens respectable. For a similar price Little Travers Bay was heads and shoulders above this course. There were very few people on the course and only a few car when we left the facility. I would play it again, but at a reduced price.

An absolutely beautiful golf course. One of the best layouts I've played in years. The course was well maintained and pace of play was excellent. Rangers throughout the course. There are a lot of very steep cart path hills so you need to be super careful. Greens were outstanding and very difficult. If we hadn't played fairly early and seen the dew paths of a few previous golfers we would have really struggled.

A nice course with a respectable layout. Greens and fairways were very well maintained. We paired with a single and played behind a 4some and still finished around 4 hours. Fair price for the course, would play again.

A typical muni course, that has 3 nines. Pretty crowded for a Sunday afternoon, a lot of high school and college kids. Course had been rained upon and was pretty wet. Nice greens, would play again.

Hadn't played this course in many years, but got a good price from GN. The pro shop is very attentive and gracious. The course was in excellent shape, greens very nice. A good course design. One thing I did notice was the big number of twosomes on the course which can slow play down especially when you catch the 4some ahead of you. I would suggest pairing the people up just to even out pace of play.

1st one off as a 2some b4 8AM. Played 11 holes b4 it started to drizzle, and then got progressively worse. Called it a day after 17. Pro was very engaging and hospitable. Course was a little rough as rain had caused them to get behind in mowing. A must play if you're in Cadillac.

Haven't played this course in years. Got a very good price from Golf Now and played in under 3:15. Course was in great shape, however has sustained a lot of emerald ash bore damage. Greens were in excellent condition. Play was pretty sparse, got behind a 4some and they graciously let us through. Fairways and roughs mowed with no problems. I would play more often if it was closer to home.
Trap could have used some TLC, sand was either non-existent for very hard.

We were allowed to go off before our tee time which proved to be a blessing. The group immediately behind us went off as a 5 some either on their own or allowed by the pro shop. We played 3 holes and then caught a 4 some of pretty bad players, who were gracious enough to let us go through. Long story short, as we were on the 18th green, the 4 some was in 10 fairway and the 5 some was standing on 10 tee box, poetic justice I guess. I absolutely go ballistic when I see 5 somes on a golf course, unless its the dead of winter or raining or no one else is playing. The course was well maintained, greens were excellent, but some of the hole designs were horrible. A fair amount of elevated greens and blind shots. One thing that also irritated me was that our Garmin couldn't identify the the course name as it currently is and reverted back to a name that was used a few years back, and even then the yardage distances were incorrect. You'd have to play it more than once to get a feel for the layout and shot positioning.

Hadn't played in a few years, got a good rate. Got off slightly early paired with a single young guy who was quite a player. Course was in fine condition, pace of play excellent, weather was great, a fine day indeed.

Always enjoy playing this course. Course was in great shape, weather was perfect. We were a 2some playing behind a 4some and played front 9 in 2 hrs. They let us go through and completed our round in 3.5 hrs. Delightful day

This is one of the silliest golf courses ever developed. The front 9 plays like a poor public/muni course. Course was shaggy and poorly maintained. The back 9 is one of the most ridiculous layouts you could imagine. Short par 4's with 90 degree turns 150 yard landing areas. Shooting through openings in trees to blind areas. I've never seen anything like it. Most players were older resort residents who shouldn't really even be playing golf. The older 4some behind us had at 1 time 3 groups on the tee box waiting to play. All you could do is shake your head.
