Oakland Hills Golf Club

This is the type of course we need around and I wish I had close to me. Not sure why the course closed; however, the sign along I-94 and the website say 'Farewell."

Course was the perfect walking course and had a superb layout on gently rolling terrain. The greens were in prefect condition during my round.

This course was fun to play. There is water on some holes in fact one is an island green par four. The sand bunkers were in good shape also.

This course is a hidden gem in the arm pit of Michigan (battle Creek). A great deal on golf now enticed my group to meet up for 18. We were pleasantly suprised at the condition of the greens. The front nine is a great scoring 9 and the back is long, but fair. I'm glad we took a gamble... Wish our time at Firekeepers was this enjoyable.

Great place to golf, with good friendly service!! Thanks!!

After a follow-up round to aeriating greens, course appears to be playing up to expectations and greens are rolling true. Back nine preceed front nine by a week (Sept.3) but both are well heeled. Fall leaves have not yet begun to drop, so play is keeping pace and lost balls are more a factor of errant shots than downed leaves. Also, greens are holding well and mowing is being conducted as usual during summer months.

While the course itself is in good condition the management ruined my opinion of the course. The carts are run down and barely work (which incidently we stayed late the first time playing the course to help the owner retrieve a broken down cart from the course). The owners son runs the course without obvious help and had mentioned the sprinklers would be coming on around dusk and he didn't want us to get wet or have the carts out in the dark. We played in 3 1/2 hours and teed off at 18 perfectly capable of seeing our balls and prior to 9pm. We actually picked up one of our balls due to a poor tee shot and headed into finish up the hole when the owner walked out to the hole before we were finished and was very confrontational is his approach telling us to hurry up and he told us to come in before the sprinklers kicked on. The owner was so rude he accused us of "horsing around". Where of course we were there to have fun....after all that is why people play golf....if you recall looking at the time frame we played in was under 31/2 hours. Not enough time for horsing around. We immediately removed our property from the golf cart when approached by him and quit playing heading toward our vehicle. Bottom line is there are many many courses in Michigan and his is not that special....his prices are higher than even Yarrow for evening play. He complains about alcohol sales and money if even talking to him. Not an environment conducive to keeping customers. Actually he is known in the area already for his mean spirit. ... I now understand what others were saying. I will not go back to his establishment even if free.

Just had the best round this year, had a great time with great friends

Old fashioned course, greens were awesome, staff was late to work so missed our 7:15 tee time

iv played golf for over 46 yrs and iv yet to play a course with better greens then Oakland hills. they rolled true and there was not even 1ball mark or bald spot.on the greens. my friends and I remarked all day about the condition of the course and the greens.i highly recommend Oakland hills in battle creek.it would be a shame if you don't play Oakland hills battle creek

Great course, lots of doglegs, little tight on front side with boundary stakes between 6 and 8. Greens were very soft due to lots of rain and were slow.

This course used to be in great shape. I live in the area and always enjoyed playing here. It looks like the staff did not mow the course for a month. There was clumps of grass all over the place, looked like it needed to be bailed. The rough looked like they were waiting for a US Open to come there and many fairways were narrower then they used to be due to lack of mowing. Overall the grass was still til long for the fairway and rough. We got on for $12.00 and I still would not go back. You can tell that the Owner George is not out there anymore. He had a lot more pride in the course, I never saw the course look like that before.

I thought this course had an excellent mix of holes providing a variety of challenges. The greens were some of the best I've played in a while. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend this course to players of all skill levels and anyone who enjoys having great scenery around while playing. Overall a great experience.

A good time on the golf course was had by my wife & I. We would recommend to friends.

This course was well groomed and played very well for all types of golfers. The greens were very well manicured and in tip top shape. Great find, great value, and friendly staff.

This course has a nice mix of difficult and not so difficult holes. Really nice course hidden away in the middle of nowhere, well worth playing!

Some of the best tee boxes we've seen . Little challenging but we will be back to play again. Super nice staff!

I thought that the overall condition of the course was nice. The greens were in magnificent shape.

nice greens neat holes. had to listen to the owner thell us he's not making any money off golf now we are getting free golf.we had to listen to be for we started an after we got done .

Oakland Hills has always prided themselves on the quality of the greens. They are very soft and hold their lines. Even in extreme temperatures you can trust the greens. The greens alone are worth the price of admission. Fun and challenging course with a ton of history.
