$36 (cart included), played on Friday, November 2017 at 8:06 AM

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.

Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Fair priced based on quality and competitive area pricing
