Incredible layout

Over like 600 acres so many holes with fun layouts and green complexes. Wide fairways and big greens but challenges you with approach shots getting below the hole. Can score very well if your short game is on if not can easily struggle.

Unacceptable

Greens in terrible condition, mowed grass everywhere and unacceptable mud pits in the middle of the fairway. I will not be back for 70 bucks a round.

Needs some work

Course could use some more attention to upkeep. It has gone downhill significantly over the past several years while rates have increased. Many damaged fairways and greens that appear to have been that way since before the heavy rains. Cart paths are in poor condition. GPS layout is not accurate to actual course. There was only one person working the pro shop counter and bar area. She did a great job but several groups were standing around and more workers couple would help. This is a great course just needs to be given the maintenance it deserves.

Hidden Gem

This is a pretty awesome track it definitely tests your game you have to pick your spots not a hit and go kind of course makes you think your way around. Not a flat area nowhere but very fun challenge. Also you get a up north feel. For me I feel this is a very under rated course. Only downside I for me the sign to the tees could be better that's it. 4.5 Stars out of 5 for me definitely going back

Not worth it

Who pays 72$ to play here? Grass clumps everywhere in the rough & not just a little. Assuming this is a build up over weeks. Tee boxes were beaten up and there were plenty of large dead areas on the greens. Course had no ranger, no cart service on a Saturday. They also allow large groups. We had to play behind an 8 some and there was also a 10 some on the course. Drove an hour to play. Won’t be making that mistake again.

Beautiful track

Played the green tees and it was awesome. Easily one of the best public courses around Jackson proper. It’s really not even close… Track and conditions were money, and the practice facility is massive! Greens rolled true and weren’t super firm. The only knock is the clubhouse looking a little old and small for being on such a large property, but who really cares, it’s not a country club. Definitely coming back!

Very nice course

Was tentative making the drive out here with the previous reviews, but per management it was an irrigation issue which is now fixed. Highly recommend, layout is great with great views, has a up north feel to it. Wide fairways and sone tough/hilly greens. Highly recommend

Bombed out husk

This place has gone completly down hill. the back nine is unplayable, completely dead, greens cracked like a desert floor and hard a a rock, trees ripped from the ground and the root ball holes not filled in, and they have the audacity to charge $59, Did Vargo Golf buy the course? It looks like they sre prepping it to become a subdivision. Sad because it was once a great track, and it's destroyed now. Will never be back, although it will probably be closed next season, Stay away stay far away

One of the Best Layouts In Michigan

It had been about 20 years since I last played here and the layout and undulating greens do not disappoint. However, the course conditions need to improve for what I was charged for a spring round. more than half of the bunkers have been abandoned or grassed in and fairway conditions were spotty in places. I hope the conditions improve as I have always felt that this is a top 25 public course in the state.

Be Aware of Refurbishments

Played with16 players. Positives are simple. Great layout with good pace of play. Course is undergoing some sort of updates. Many bunkers are being filled in with sod. Upkeep of greens is below expectations. Course does not inform you of updates Call ahead. Used to be a great course. Will wait until course improves. None of 16 will return.

Grande is place to play

I have played the Grande number of times. It has been few years since we played. It is still plays the same with undulating and true running greens and evaluation changes from tee boxes. Several blind second shots into greens and with the undulation best to miss in the right area. Now I said its been awhile since we played considering my rating on the course their must be an issue. In the past we have played in the afternoon taking advantage of more reasonable rates, unfortunately we did not enjoy the 5 to 6 hour rounds. This time we were the third tee time of the day, and played in just over 4 hours. My recommendation play early to avoid long waits. Part of the issue in the past for slow play as I remember tee times were 7 minutes apart, now appears increased to 8, 9 would be perfect. In addition lack of a ranger on the course. When we go back it will be in the morning.

A Grand time at the Grande!

It was a good time slapping the white ball around the elevations changes and the heather grasses at the Grande. I enjoyed the different par threes, and I got spanked on the 11th hole which is a monster. I almost lost a whole sleeve on that hole alone. Conditions were great! Greens roll true and fairway manicured well. Looking forward to going back.

Fantastic

I saw this course rated as one of the top public ones in Michigan so I wanted to check it out. The course layout is absolutely perfect! No two holes are alike at this club. I prefer the back 9 because it's an "up north" setting. I believe there were 6 sets of tee boxes so this place is great for all levels. If you don't mind a bit of a drive (coming from metro Detroit) then you need to play here.
