Great high end track

Course is still recovering from fall Aerating especially the fairways. The greens were rolling well and tee boxes were in good shape, love the sand at harbor shores. It is very consistent and almost easy to play from.

Staff is super friendly and what one expects at a high end venue.

They used to offer community days to local residents but those days are long gone.

Of you get a chance to play here it’s a great value with a hot deal offer from golf now.

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.

Pro style layout

Great course and layout. Course and driving range in great shape. Championship style layout greens were in great shape rolling fast and like true Nicklaus style had significant undulations. Everything about this was first class even the rough that trapped several of our balls. Would definitely play it again whenever I make it back to Southwest Michigan

Play at least once

The course is really a good challenge with difficult greens but a lot of fun. Understanding what line to hit your ball on is crucial and for amateur players to score well would require controlling your ball. All in all had a great day with friends on a beautiful course.
