Michaywe Pines Golf Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Michaywe Pines is a scenic 18-hole golf course that winds through the birch and pine forests that sit along the AuSable River. The course opened in 1972 and 32 years later the original designer, Don Childs, came back to completely renovate the course. The classic layout kept its best features but the bunkers were reshaped and deeply shouldered with lush bluegrass sod and four sets of tee boxes were crafted for each hole. There is water in addition to the bunkers, but overall the golf course is player friendly enough for beginners. The back nine is longer than the front and you'll run into more tree-lined fairways. Michaywe Pines' 13th hole is especially tight with towering pines looming on both sides, it begins a stretch of holes where the woodland landscape becomes quite dramatic.

Great shape
This place was very nice. Good layout and the greens were fast and well maintained. Really nice new carts also. Great deal at $20
Good time
Friendly greeting by cashier and also starter. We were paired with Mike and Joe; they were wonderful and made my wife comfortable
Course is pretty straight away with excellent fairways and greens. Greens were quick with some break. Read most of the breaks pretty well. We played most forward tees so it played at a good distance. Plenty of opportunities for pats and a few birdie attempts
We played 18 in right around 4 hours
Slowest course ever
They try to pack so many players in. Every 5 minutes someone is teeing off. So far this year I have been there on 5 separate occasions where there were 8 carts waiting to tee off at one hole. I understand some days are slower than other but this course is the slowest course I’ve ever played, it does not matter when. This is the last year I’ll be playing there.
The Pines
The course is in great condition for early in the year still, love what they did with green side bunkers and flatting them out, it has been a couple years since I played it.
Poor Staff
Went on a golf trip with a group of 8. Clubhouse was amazing greens were fast and true. Fairways were very soft. The course condition was pristine for the rate. Except the rate only allowed for playing the Front 9 TWICE. VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH STAFF- Once done teeing off on the 10th hole and approaching the green, we were asked by staff to leave the 10th hole and go back to the clubhouse and wait for a group of 16 to tee off in front of us because we were “taking too long” at the turn. The course was clear in front of us. The tee box had been empty the entire time so there wasn’t anybody waiting for us. I understand pace of play but this was just ridiculous. We couldn’t have been at the clubhouse for anymore than 10 minutes. If there was an issue STAFF should have came out to push us along. But instead they pulled us off the back 9 and made us play the front again. Terrible management, unfortunately will never go back again.

Great course!
Excellent shape and greens were great!
Nice course
Nice layout, not to dangerous for average golfers.
Awesome golf and people
The golf course always seems to be in great shape regardless the time of year. Greens are smooth and roll true, and there are plenty of holes out there that are a great test.
Good Day
Visiting from Detroit area, greens were good, pace great and course challenging enough.
