Good condition, some thin spots in the fairway, but it is early in the season here and they had a cold rainy spring. Will play this one agiain. I think the design is one of those that is sneaky tough. Just doesnt look hard, but a trap here, a creek there, hit next to the bigh trees. Pretty soon you ahve a big number.
Enjoyable course.

I ranked this course on the "Supply & Demand" basis as there are a few courses and they can demand what ever price the play can handle. I paid $40 18/cart for special fall rates ($30 9/wlk) BUT in summer it would have been $63.00 which in Michigan this would have been a $30 round. The difficulty of this course comes from the yardages as almost all par 4's hover around the 400yd+ mark but are straight forward in layout. Playing from the Blues at 3,500yd/3,435yd @ 72.4 / 128 / Par 72 will give your long Irons a real workout on most 2nd shots. Found the fall conditions very good for the fairways/greens considering the geese were lurking near the winding river / pond, leaving their calling card behind. Fairway yardage is marked pretty good but the Par 3's could use yardage blocks somewhere on four (4) tee boxes. Nice flat course with sand bunkers protecting every green that lends itself to keeping pace of play moving right along. Worth playing in the early AM because its packed otherwise as I was told later.
