Best course in Macomb county, improving all the time, every hole is different and challenging. Great good options.

Since the new owners took over a couple years ago the course has continually became better year after year. They put a lot of time effort and money into making this course great again. Greens roll true, grass is in Fantastic shape and the layout is second to none in the area, pace of play was great as well, plenty of food options in the clubhouse. Grass driving range also in great shape. The newer electric carts are a huge upgrade from the old gas powered ones. The only negatives I would say is the sand traps could use some work, which they have started doing. Also the short game area is lacking but they do have a chipping area and large putting green.
This is a players course, it will challenge your game. Make sure you play the correct tee boxes.
Not a house on the course it’s wooded with trees and some water, water definitely not overwhelming but it does come into play on certain holes, it’s not a back and fourth muni course either the course plays around a large wooded area with as much elevation changes as you can find anywhere in Macomb county.
I would recommend this course to anyone on the east side and anywhere in Detroit it’s worth the drive, bring your A game this isn’t St. Clair Shores country club.

I showed up with my daughters who love to golf with Dad. As I approached the clubhouse a guy standing there asked me there age I said 7-8 he said sorry but they are not allowed to golf, I have never encountered this before they have been to ay least 10 courses with me and everywhere they encourage them playing. Let me be clear I understand golf and play a lot I know pace of play isssues, my children only put and chip, I drove an hour, no consideration, didn’t offer me anything for my trouble,when I told them I paid $10 already to golf now they said call them. I been here before, I won’t be back. They said reason was they were to packed and they might get hit by a ball, I didn’t know golf balls discriminate and only hit children. If it’s to packed maybe you should consider 10 min tee times as you just admitted gross negligence by admitting there is a hazard of to many people on such a small course. FYI we ended up at copper hills and played in under 4:15 and caught both groups in front of us on each 9. My children said copper hills is the coolest golf course they ever been to and will probably never forget Sunday. I’m sure they will remember this place to but for the wrong reasons.

I am still trying to figure out why courses like Disneys magnolia and and orange lake legends are in the same conversation and sometimes rated higher than this course. There is no comparison. Champions gate is in way better condition, tee to green, also every bunker on the course was raked out, plush fairways and rough, very few bare spots.
Not to mention the amenities. This is what high end golfing should be, they treat you like a pro. From the minute you arrive, free valet, free range balls, also you never have to touch your clubs, just walk into the clubhouse take care business, your clubs will be waiting for you in a fresh cart with ice, tees, and GPS. The course is superb, I can understand why some people complain about the layout, it has small greens on the national, but that is just about the style of course you are playing, the international is links style with bigger greens. It's just the style I can promise that everything is very well maintained

This course is not as good as rated very hard and the greens were really slow. Nice bunkers, and clubhouse, nice fairways and practice range. But I did not like the setup or the greens, not worth $70 bit for $15 on hot deal is a steal
