Play here every few years as its half way between my son's house and mine. Being located 3 minutes off I-94 its easy to get to and get back going on your way. Greens are the best feature for this course as they hold shots and yet putt very true. Layout on some holes (#2, #3, #8) you need to look at landing distances from the tee very close or you'll get into trouble. Overall conditions are always good and with the rolling layout produces some blind shots that you need to view before hitting. Shooting 39/41 w/33 putts for $28.00 on this 6,631yd layout was worth the stop, BUT its not the Oakland Hills in Bloomfield Hills for you non-Michigan players.

Would travel: 30-60 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level

Drove by here on my way to LaPorte, IN to play the Legacy Hills GC and saw a For Sale sign and a “Thanks” on their course sign. Looked it up on Facebook and saw that it didn’t open this year and post’s that $750k was the asking price. For a owner built layout, this was challenging and well maintained layout. Sad to see it go.

Would travel: 0-10 Miles, Not Vacation Worthy
