Classic

Course is in great shape and the 19th hole is fantastic! The classic course is a nice country club layout- not too difficult but still fun to play for any skill level.

Great course

One of the must plays at the mecca of Michigan golf.
Course was in great condition, staff was friendly,, and easy to get to just off the main road. Only played the classic course this trip but am willing to go back to give their other course a try.

Great overall!

Great experience for 4th of July week in Northern Michigan! Played 18 in under 3 hours (teed off at 12:50 on Wednesday after the holiday). Greens were excellent, bunkers were raked, fairways were manicured. Good value as compared with other courses in the area.

Great Fathers Day Course!

Grabbed a tee-time for 18 holes at 10:20AM. Pretty accurate timing. Despite what I read here, the pace was fine. Never felt rushed or slow. Every green was in great shape. Would rather have played the Tribute, but for half the price, this was well worth it!

Good time, despite the rain and wind

Great track.... staff were super friendly and helpful. We stopped in as we arrived in town earlier than expected, and was greeted promptly and sent out to play. The forward tees were a great treat for my wife (maybe too far), but she enjoyed the ease of jumping out of a car after 6 hours, and being able to play. I will return, nice layout.

Great course harder than it looks

This is a classic country club style course. Plays much tighter than it looks. Course was in fabulous condition the day we played. Greens were fast and rolled true. Staff was friendly and accommodating. Only complaint was they did not run their beverage cart on this course it was on the other course on property all day.

Slow and poor conditions

Pace of play was atrocious! My friend and I (twosome) took 6hrs fue to a very slow foursome ahead who wouldn't let anyone play through. There was no ranger in sight to help with the situation, and one lady behind us said it wouldn't matter if we called because no one would do anything (she used to work there). The "greens" were like torched concrete. They were every shade of brown and dead and hard as granite. So were most of the tee boxes and the fairways were notnso great. Food at the turn was non existent in the clubhouse. We tried to get some brats, none, hot dogs...they only had 2 buns left (both were stale and as hard as the greens). The price was robbery at $55 per player for this dump. First and last time playing there.

A nice day of golf

Played 18 holes in 3 hours. For October, the courses is in very good condition. The greens had been aerated but putting was only slightly affected. The speed on the greens were faster than I regularly play on but enjoyable. If I get up to Gaylord, I will definitely play the course again.
