The best twilight round in SW Michigan

Pace of Play: If you play this course in the summer months, you should have no problem finishing 18 holes if you start by 5:00 PM. Monday-Thursday you can expect to play the course in about 4 hours. However, on the weekends pace can be a little slower as it is a popular Chicago weekend destination. With that being said, each hole presents a different view of the Michigan landscape which makes waiting for your next shot a little more bearable.

Course Condition: The tee boxes are always in great shape, the course does a great job moving each set of tees to ensure fresh grass in the teeing ground daily. Fairways are always pure and roll generously. A few holes have a lot of divot marks in the collection areas, but I have never found it to affect play. The greens are rock solid and roll true. Each green presents a challenge as most are multi-tiered and much larger than most courses. A high trajectory approach shot or a high spin shot is necessary to hold the greens. However, most holes give golfers an opportunity to run a low shot up to the green. All greens are mowed directly into the fairways.

Overall, I would highly recommend playing this course for the right price.

Quality Challenge for the money

Rob Roy is always healthy and the greens roll true. House and Tree lined fairways require accurate tee shots and carefully judged approaches. Balls in or near the fairway are rewarded with quality looks and favorable distances into the greens. The widest fairway is approximately 30 yards wide, in contrast the Par 5 9th Hole’s fairway is a mere 10 yards wide in the landing zone. With that being said, the course provides numerous risk/reward options that will keep golfers of all skill level coming back for more. I highly recommend paying the $17 for an enjoyable weekday round!
