Disney's Magnolia Golf Course

Disney’s Magnolia

The course was wet and cart path only, so that really slowed the pace of play. The course is a challenge and I probably played one set of tees to far back because the yardage is a little messed up because it is currently a par 70 while under construction on a few holes.

Not Too Many Lakes

I assumed that there would be a lot of water on this course, but the name is deceiving. The course was in great condition and it was a pleasure to play. Three guys in front of us were very slow but we lost them at the turn. When we checked in, there was only one guy to do everything, so that was a little bit of a bummer as we had to wait for a while for range balls and coffee. Overall, I would play it again!

Very playable

When we arrived at the course, it was difficult to find the pro shop, it seems they may have recently moved. Once I found it I waited a few minutes before I was helped. I was just given a key and was told to have fun. There are signs for every tee but #1. We eventually found it and the starter was a really nice guy. The round was good. My wife loved hitting from red tees under 5000 yards. If I played it again I could easily take off 5 strokes, be careful to check yardages and take off 3 clubs at the par three with the 50 foot drop. I would be happy to play it again.

Would Have Played It Again the Next Day

My wife and I decided to play Sundance on our trip to Traverse City. It did not disappoint. The course was in fantastic shape, probably the best I have played this year. The course is challenging, but not so much so that it is not fun. My only complaint was that the sand was not the same in every bunker. Some of the sand was like a rock and other times if was really soft. I look forward to playing it again, especially once the clubhouse is completed.

Good Course

I had no idea what to expect from this golf course, but it turned out to be a very nice experience. The staff was friendly. The driving range is quite a bit away from number one and the ground at the range was a little rough, but once we were on the course, nothing but excellent fairways and greens. Course knowledge probably would make a six shot difference, so make sure to read the score card hints or use the in cart GPS they provide and click on pro tips. I do not know when I will get up to Hillman again, but if I do, I would be very happy to play Thunder Bay again.

A Different Kind of Golf Course

As a reversible track, there aren't any tee boxes, just flags placed where one should tee off. The ground and greens were extremely hard and I had to play at least one club shorter into the greens than I usually would have. The front nine on the Black course was easier than the back, and I thought that some of the greens on the back almost bordered on unfair. I like the course, but if I was taking the time to go up to Roscommon and could only play on course, give me Forest Dunes every time.

Worth the Drive

We went to Antrim Dells as part of a golf package we booked through The Chief. This was definitely the highlight of the trip. The course was in great shape and the greens held nicely and rolled true. I would definitely play this one again.

Disappointing Trip

We booked through The Chief for our annual golf trip. We were told we would be golfing The Chief, Hawk's Eye, and Sundance. We started on The Chief. The course was in decent shape, but they had moved all the holes around and the woman at the desk did not say a word about it, so none of the GPS's worked. The greens were so slow that I could not get myself to physically hit the ball as hard as you needed to in order to get it anywhere near the hole. The course was difficult and most of the guys in the group (not great golfers) lost many, many balls. After the Chief, we were sent to Atrium Dells, a nice course, but not Sundance, and on the final day, Mike (the guy who set up the trip) had us for a tee time at 1 P.M. on departure day as Hawk's Eye had leagues on Tuesday and did not even open to the public until then. We ended up at Centennial Farms and this course was a joke. I contacted Mike to give him the opportunity to make things right, and he ignored me as well as other group members. If you are planning a trip to the area, do not go through Mike at the Chief.

Old municipal style

I was extremely disappointed with this golf course. 10 of the 18 holes could be the same hole with a different number on the tee box. The course was not well maintained, there were weeds in the fairways and many dead spots around the greens. The greens themselves were in great shape and they were fast. The clubhouse didn't have coffee for 8:30 am tee times. With all the other options in Gaylord, there is no reason to play this one.

Tight, tight, tight

Stay on the fairway or you will cost yourself a shot. The rough is thick and the trees are close. Every home offers something different from the hole before. The course was very wet, but still beautiful. The greens were quick but fair.

What a value

Whenever you can golf 18 holes with a cart for $10 you never know what you will get, but this place was quite nice. It was very wet, but not their fault that we have had a ton of rain. I would recommend this course to anyone. For the money, it can't be beat.

Play it Again

This course is one in which the first time you play it, you can count on a score about 10 strokes or more higher than your normal score. There are so many things I would do differently the next time I play it. It was worth the price and the 45 minute drive to get there. I really would like to have the chance to play it again and see what I could do with a second round. My only complaint was that the sand was really inconsistent. One bunker would be like cement and the next like beach sand.

Well Maintained

Black Forest was in outstanding condition when I played it. The course is beautiful in every way. The greens are extremely difficult and unfortunately for me the person placing the tees the day I played must have been in a very poor mood.

Great Deal, but other courses are better

Marsh Ridge is a decent course, but when compared to others in the area, it is second rate. The tee boxes look like they have been through a war.

Beautiful and Fun

This course is all that the hype says it is. It is most definitely one of the best courses in Michigan. A must play for anyone who likes excellent golf courses.
