Great course for the $$$. You can easily forget your in Livonia. Up North feel on the back nine. Greens are always in great shape and can be very challenging. The only issue we ever have is the walkers and first timers. The course is located in a highly populated area so you get all levels of golfers. I'm not knocking new golfers but golf edicate is part of game, with overlapping tee times during busy hrs. It can create an extremely slow pace of play. If you feel you have to walk, may I suggest getting a treadmill or walking to the course as opposed to slowing the pace of play to a crawl for everyone else.

great job with the leaves!

after getting hammered during the week with high winds I was worried about the amount of leaves that would be on the ground after only having 1 day to clear them off, especially with them being wet from prior rain. Great job! Now if you could have actual sand in the bunkers instead of concrete I'd give a 5 star. But typical for a muni.

Great value good pace of play

One if the best muni's I've played. Course condition were very good, pace of play for foursome was 3 hrs and 45 minutes, with some beginning golfers in group. Had very few holes we had ro wait. Good food options at the turn for a quick bite. Will play again on our annual trip to Michigan.

Overpowering golf carts

The golf carts pretty much keep you on the cart paths. They gave signs everywhere, fix divots , new seed. That’s a joke there is no seed there. Only saw the cart girl once, and it was 92 degrees out, no water on the course

Very comfortable course

We did a four-man scramble and it was a fantastic time. The pace of play was fantastic, we had all the weather because this is the Midwest but still it was amazing, and you didn't get that feel of repetitive holes. All in all very fun course

Rude staff crappy carts

Have been playing here on and off for years and never had an issue. Invited some friends here to play after bragging about the place. I was so embarrassed . The ranger guy was absolutely awful, the rudest man I have ever met. He was yelling at people when we pulled up. He later yelled at us for being too slow, which we may have been a tad slow but not awful. Started having issues with the cart early on. By hole 7 the carts just weren’t working. Tried to get the ranger to help and he was just mean. Tried blaming us and over-talking us when we tried to explain what had been happening with them. Then when I went in and asked to speak to the manager I just get some golf pro that just didn’t give a crap.So paid for 9 holes only got to play 7 spent most of the time messing around with their worthless carts. Won’t be back.
