Good layout interminable playing time

We had the 744 tee time Saturday. Fourth group off. We tees off ten minutes late. Third hole four groups on the hole. I left after 2:40 for nine holes. Round I guess took over five hours. Someone needs to live people along especially that early. All it takes is one group. Playing early means finishing early not five plus hours

Hopefully someone reads these. Clearly from other reviews this happens a lot

Good course good condition. Fun otherwise. Just hate to pay for 18 and walk off after nine aggravated and unhappy

Fun with a few caveats

Enjoyed the round, people were really nice, price at 40 for sunday morning wa son issue. Course was in good shape, save for the traps which were very hit and its, some nice, some basically not playable. These are subjective which is whY i don't write many but...

my issue with the course was that is was clearly designed around houses. Long drives between holes, lots of short par fours with severe doglegs, so you have to on at least 6 or 7 holes tee off with as little as an iron and you still have a short iron in. All three par fives on the front have something in front about 75 yards out, with means that unless you hit your drives(we played blue tees) 240 you end having to hit driver, then mid iron, then 8 or 9, it is generally a 210-230 carry over the stuff, so you can't really get close to green as you'd hope on a par five just sort of goofy.

But if you haven't played, its worth the 40 minute drive from the detroit surburbs just be prepared form some holes where you just scratch your head and wonder why

Good layout. Rough shape

Have played here a lot. It has changed ownership a few times. It’s a classic old layout and when in good shape it’s a fun course with some good holes. But it was in rough shape. The tees were beat up. Greens were ok. Fairways were shaggy. No dirt on the carts. Just needs work and it can be good again but it needs work

fun pretty course stupid greens

Really enjoyed our round on sunday morning, cold and wet for four holes but then perfect. Course was in very good shape, really a beautiful layout over later, a little pricey at 65, but cheaper during the week. People were not unfriendly but were not friendly either, pro shop and starters were very business like. Not a huge issue, but we all noticed it.

One thing, the greens are a lot of the course's defense. Huge mounds, slopes, many in positions placed on these slopes, and on a sunday that has to slow play. we had puts, taps, that rolled twenty or more feet past the hole, two two high handicappers had a huge issue, it was a joke to see balls roll that far past the hole on a five or ten foot putt.

save for that, really a nice place scenery alone worth the time.

Great layout conditioning worse

Played this course four times. It is a great track. Challenging, fun, scenery is great, people are really nice. This year the condition is noticeably worse. Greens had bare spots and were inconsistent. Areas around greens were often bare. Traps were poor condiotion. Some needed sand. Looked like not maintained. Tees were a little shaggy. There, like normal, was almost no one else on the course. I am hoping that that lack of customers has not caught up. On other years we marveled at how the course could be in such great shape with no one tjere. May have cught up. Again, great layout. Just conditioning not there today
