Jewel

First time playing here and I didn't know what to expect. I arrived and of course the "castle" is shockingly beautiful. During the pandemic I was able to pay thru an outdoor window. The starter/manager was gracious with directions and tips. Being the first time I was unfamiliar with the layout but found my way around the course in under 2 hours (18). The greens are large and receptive and roll true. The course was in very good shape.
I recommend it.

You'll need a kidney belt

I've played this course many years ago in a league. The Diamond course was booked so I decided to play the Onyx for a GN discount. Big mistake. The fairways are so bumpy that you cannot sit in the cart seat. By the end of the round my back was so sore that it hurt to swing a club. The greens were very good but the fairways were the determining factor that will keep me from playing this course again. It's not worth the GN cheap rates.

I will return

It was my first time playing and I only chose the course because of the reviews. I didn't think a public course could live up to the reviews that were on this site. I was pleasantly surprised. It met and exceeded my expectations. The staff was great, the course was meticulous and the starter provided great weather (I asked!). The front nine was easier because it was more wide open. The back nine, some of the fairways were tighter to make it more challenging. The layout reminds me of northern Michigan and is very picturesque.

I will return.

Staff had an attitude

I arrive 1 hour early and when I showed them the pre-paid voucher, they threw a fit. They told me that all of Golf Now they had seen was not pre-paid. (I know this is not true, I've used it several times at this course). There was an outing that was finishing up and the course was very upset that everything was happening at once and that four people showed up to play and only paid $15. When I asked for a starter ticket, they said they didn't have a starter. I was on my own. I found three other people that had the same time, although I was only scheduled to play with two others. The others that I played with also got the same price and the course was so upset that they told us they was going to call GolfNow and complain and weren't going to take any more pre-paid that day.

It was terrible even though they honored the deal that they voice their displeasure with Golfnow to everyone within earshot.

The golf was good, teaming up with some wonderful people (two from Sarnia). The greens were very slow and it seems that a lot of people don't know how or care about repair divots or ball marks. The layout of this course is nice, using the housing subdivision on the back nine but the course could use some TLC. For the price we paid, $15, it was a fantastic bargain.

Don't blame it on their staff lady, understand that golf now wants to make their money like everyone else. They will book a tee time for someone and take 10 bucks whether the course charges 50 or maybe even more. You wouldn't be happy if that happened if you were a business owner! Idk how you can say poor staff, that club has a wonderful staff!

Great staff

I reserved a 12:00 tee time as a single but saw that the rain was going to arrive early. I called to see if I could be pair with another group earlier in the day. The staff accommodated my request and I had a great time playing with a few members. The course is in good shape and will challenge even the best golfers. I would not pay the normal $55 green fees but using Golfnow allowed me to experience a hidden gem. Highly recommended.

I've golfed here a few times and I'm pleased to say that this course is one of the nicest in the Flint area. The greens are well manicured as are the sand traps. The course is very long but fair.

Remember to add park entrance fee

I just call them and asked about the park entrance fee. I was told $7 and that was in addition to the green fees. The prices that Golfnow shows is the same price on their website. Either way, add $7 unless you have a yearly park fee

The wait was unforgivable

I was paired with another Golf Now group for a 11:31 tee time. I arrived early and when I pulled into the parking lot, I knew there was trouble. On the first tee there were over 10 carts! I met with the others that I was pair with and we asked if we could go off of the back nine. We waited for about 20 minutes and they told us to tee off at 15! We played 15 - 18 without any problems but when we arrived to start on one, there were five groups still waiting to tee off. We waited our turn but even when we got to the second hole, there were 5 groups on the hole. A club member called and complained and we found out they had scheduled a 44 person outing on Father's Day even though when asked about it Thursday, nothing was scheduled. Two of the guys I was playing with quit after the fifth hole and myself one one other, played the front nine before quitting. We still had 5 holes to go after 4 hours.
This course is great, the people are great but they sure need a lesson in scheduling management. If this had been my first time playing here, I would never return.

The course was in very good shape, it's just a shame that they didn't handle this situation very well.

Hidden gem

I had played Fenton Farms once before but it had been awhile. I arrived with the printed voucher and was warmly greeted by the staff. They were friendly, courteous and very helpful. The course was in very good condition. The sand traps were manicured (I should know, I hit 5!) The course is fair but challenging.

Highly recommended.

The pace of play may restrict others

I've played Brookwood several times and like the course. The design is user friendly and the staff is courteous. I was placed with a threesome that either didn't have a clue about ready golf, or "while we're young". I walked while the other three rode in carts and it was the longest day of the year! There were several times there was an open hole in front of us! There needs to be a Marshall to control something like this.
