Loon Golf Resort

We had a good time at "The Loon" if you have never played there before read the score card.. The tee boxes were not in very good condition, the fairways were ok it has a few "trick" holes but fun to play. The staff was great the cart guys met us at the bag drop and took really good care of us and had answers to all of our questions. And helpful on directing us on where to go. They were there when we got off of the course also to clean our clubs. Good job all around guys.

We played on a chilly (65 degree), cloudy Saturday July afternoon. Help staff courteous without being overbearing. Maintenance of the course was good, but not superior, but appropriate for a variety of players. (We are not high-end players by any means.) Nice northwoods Michigan setting with a variety of hazards (wetlands, some water, moderately trapped). Have eaten at the restaurant there before, did not this time, but it has nice cuisine and a terrific view of the 18th green!

The course has a great layout, I played from the blues, at 6200 yards, it has some challenging holes, with narrow to moderate landing areas. The front nine needs attention, greens and fairways are a little rough. The back nine seemed to be in better shape, and 18 is a great finishing hole. Very pretty setting, cut through the woods and lots of elevation and hills. I haven't played this course in a number of years, and it was not in as good condition as I remember, but I still enjoyed playing it.

I booked this online thinking I had played it before and when I got there I was wrong. I was surprised because I have played quite a few of the northern Michigan courses around Gaylord. Pleasantly surprised when I seen this course from the clubhouse and once I stepped onto the course. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a well maintained and challenging course.

This was not our first experience at this course and each time, the slow play was a problem.

Course is very beautiful view of Northern Michigan. A lot of holes have forced carries and dramatic drops of elevation. Many holes ball in fairway is either above or below your feet not many flat lies. Which could cause the average golfer a lot of challenge. Some hole have blind shots or dramatic elevation changes off the tee adding extra stress on tee shots. Greens are rather small and if you go off the back often in the woods.

I only had enough time to do nine holes. When i was done i wish i had the time to do the other nine. Will be coming back to do eighteen

The front 9 was so difficult and we lost many balls in the tall rough. The last 9 was more pleasurable, but very challenging.

I played black lake and marsh ridge this weekend. For 60 dollars, black lake is head and shoulders above this course. We payed 45 for marsh ridge and it was worth it. Greens were well maintained as well as the bunkers. Course condition was great. The course starts to get good after the 6th hole on. I would recommend playing this course as a higher end second tier course if you are giung on vacation. Staff in the pro shop, beverage cart and dining room is very friendly.

The course was in terrific condition. The front 9 had some long holes, but the setting was great. Greens & fairways were in very good condition. The tee boxes could use a little work-they have some tilt to them. Altogether had a very enjoyable day, even played the front 9 twice.

This is a beautiful course with friendly staff and patrons. We have recommended this course and golfnow to our friends and golf league.

Played the Loon Golf Resort many times and this play was the BEST.

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.

The course was in very good shape and has some holes that are challenging and others that provide opportunities for pars and birdies. Club selection is key.
Very enjotable.

The front nine needs some attention. The rough is weedy and bare in spots but the greens and fairways are ok. The back nine is very enjoyable and in better shape. some of the holes are pretty tight and require good club selection. i will play again.

Behind a huge outing that made pace of play a bit slow. Staff very friendly.

I really enjoy playing courses that have a lot of variety and this one fit that criteria. Water, trees, sand, and varying elevations; it had them all. The holes were challenging but were very fair. The length was extremely manageable for an average golfer. I would definitely like to play this one again.

Loved everything about the course except there was NO marshall. We played as a 2-some and the 4-some in front of us didn't let us play through til the turn. We then proceeded to play through 17 before even SEEING a group in front of us.

Other than that it was a WONDERFUL golf experience we will be back!

I had a great time .many beautiful holes.Greens were perfect. Will go again

The staff and course was great. They need alttle attention to the second cutting around the fairways. They are alittle long and keep losing my balls in them. We had a wonderful time and would go there again.
