Was wearing my Tobacco Road golf hat the other day in Michigan and a fellow looked at me a said, "You played there ? Yes I did. Then we both said, "Toughest and most demanding track we ever played". Bring your "A" game and pick the right tees or it could be a LONG day. You won't see the greens on many of the tee shots w/ MANY deceiving 2nd shots (to the greens) that test your true flight distance. Wish I lived closer, as you MUST play more than once to score here. On my list to return and play someday again.
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area
Condition of Course, Difficulty, Layout, Ambiance, No Houses on Course, Clubhouse
