Solid Underrated Track that's a Little Rough Around the Edges

Overall, this course is a very fair, very interesting challenge. Some comments on this course have judged very harshly on the greens and the fact is they're just not that bad. Are they what you'll find at the country clubs or the resort courses north of here in TC and Gaylord? No, but are they bumpy, dead, and inconsistent? Definitely not. Some greens on the back, namely 15 and 18 get kind of bumpy, but they're very protected by the woods and with how dry it's been this year, you can't expect them to be perfect. They roll at about a 10 and have some interesting dimension to them. Really appreciate the way some of the bunkers frame the greens. There's enough elevation change to produce some incredible views especially on the front nine. Behind hole 7 green is spectacular.

Some of the bunkers are a little bit rough on the edges as they have some weeds in them but they don't extend into the bunker any farther than a foot and the sand itself is decent. The tee boxes and fairways are cut at a very fair length and are overall in decent shape. Some weeds and clovers on some of the more shaded ones but not enough to significantly bother you, your stance, or your swing. The clubhouse and the golf carts look a little dated but the inside of the clubhouse is gorgeous.

Overall, this is a solid course with a great variety of holes. You don't feel lucky if you have a good round here.

What happened?

This course use to be in beautiful shape, but now oh my is it bad. Almost all the greens were dying or had some type of disease. Probably the worst greens I have played on in a really long time. Especially compared to other courses that charge the same rate the quest. I don’t know if they stopped putting money into it or got a new superintendent but man was i surprised to see the course in this bad of shape. The course looked like a hay field. Cut grass clippings all over in just mass bunches. Hopefully they can turn it around. I know I’ll never pay another $60 to play there again if it’s in that condition. On the bright side, the starter that day was very friendly.

One of Best in Area

If you are a fan of modern courses with larger undulating greens and some engineered mounding, then The Quest is for you. I enjoyed the yo north layout with some land movement and the fall colors only aided in my enjoyment of the course.

Only negative would be that previous reviews were accurate about rocks in the bunkers. Course is one of the better public golf courses in Michigan.

Best course in the area.

I play it once in awhile. Always in pretty good shape. Pace was slow with a mix of walkers and riders. Didn’t care for female manager inside when talking to other staff about apparel that was on sale. Might not return due to her. Overall nice friendly environment minus 1.

Resort Style

I like the course and will travel 95 miles to play it again
. The down side is too many stones and rocks in the bunkers.
But I would still play it again.

Good little course

The course was very nice, only issue I had was there was no sign pointing us to hole 10, we didn’t know we had to drive through the parking lot, so signage would be good. Other than that the course was a great time.

Quest Worthy

First time on the coarse. It was very well maintained and in excellent condition. Staff was friendly, course layout was well designed. I don’t have any complaints. I would always like golf to be cheaper, but it was well worth the $40-45.

Fall golfing

Having left a message the first time I golfed this course, that the sand traps had rocks and stones has been corrected. I was impressed.
It was fall golf and the greens were aerated with holes. I will return next year if their still in business.
