My golf buddy and I have not played this course for several years as it was in poor shape. The new owners have done a wonderful job bringing this course back to life. The greens are the best I have putted on in a long time. The fairways and tee boxes are also in great shape. The only thing left are the sand traps which they are working on. We had a great time and will be back very soon. Give this place a try as price wise it is the best golf deal in the area. And if you play, please fix your ball marks on the greens.

Editing to update as of 6/23 I’ve played here a few times since my initial visit, the course layout is too beautiful to not play a handful of times per year. I’m pleased to share that some of my concerns have been fixed. The greens are in MUCH better condition, no tipped over portapottys, and I think the price of play has gone down. If they can get the bunkers fixed this would be an amazing place to play, I will say I did see some bunker sand in the back parking lot when I was leaving so I’m hopeful they’ll get it fixed soon. I’ve added it to my summer rotation though and am pretty pleased with what they have to offer. Original review- Let me start by saying this course has immense potential, 27 rolling and doglegged holes across three courses with a large driving range and a nice sized putting green to practice on. With that being said they have a little while til they reach that potential. Firstly the cost is outrageous. 72 dollars for 9 holes and one cart for two golfers? You can take the extra 10 minutes and drive to the dunes to play 18 holes with a cart for 25 dollars. We golfed today (4/28) and we were the only tee time before 11am, they couldn’t even call and tell us we were on a frost hold. We showed up at 10:00am and had to wait until 10:30 before someone even got there (there was no one there to answer the phones) When we asked if they were done with the frost hold they mentioned “oh yeah we’re done I’m just late” we were in a bit of a time crunch but oh well, excited to play the course we were! We headed out to the first hole of the blue course and noticed that the blue course had red flag and the red course had blue flags. (Not a big deal at all but this takes no effort to get right) the greens are riddled with disease. We were verbally abused on hole 5 by two old men (not the courses fault but shows what kind of people golf here) and there was a mower on the fairway of hole 9 when we were teeing off. All of that with some small stuff like balls ALL over hole one fair way (not range balls, about 30-40 playing balls consisting of Bridgestone, top flight, Nike, etc) and portapottys being tipped over make the experience less than memorable. Hopefully all these issues will be fixed in the coming years because as I said mistwood has a great layout but terrible execution

Great course. A real Northern Michigan gem of a course. Came with my 14 yo son to play 18. Had a great time. Greens and fairways were in good shape. Bunkers need work, but I knew that before coming. Price was reasonable. Definitely recommend for some laid back golf.

Great course, outside of the bunkers the course was in fantastic shape. My wife and I very much enjoyed our round here. Kim in the clubhouse is great!

Updated review 9/20/24: Updated review, see below for two prior reviews over the past 4 years. The courses have continued to be improved. It's slow progress, but it's progress, and I'm happy! Greens and fairways are in great shape. Some tee boxes need help, and some have recently been re-worked and seeded. Some bunkers still need work, but local rules apply (rake and place, or if the bunker is flagged, pull ball out of bunker with no penalty). These three nines are really nice tracks, and beautiful...it's up north golf, and they are tough (narrow, hilly, with heavy rough/heather...plus a few lakes). I love the course, and it's being improved, so try it out! Review 2022: I'm updating this review as the old review is 2 years old. As noted below, this course came under new management a few years ago, after a decade of neglect. It's taken some time, but the new owners are following through on their commitment to improve the course. To be clear, it's not yet done, but they've worked to fix the ancient irrigation system, they weeded the fairways, the greens are in the best condition I've ever seen since their first 3-5 years in operation, and the bunkers are about 30% of the way back (some are still not touched, but others are fixed and ready). This is a great layout with 27 holes of fine golf...get out and enjoy it before it's really busy late in the season! Original review (2020): I've been golfing Mistwood since it opened in late '90's. Plenty of reviews below detail a poorly managed course. Let's be clear...that's old news and it's under new management that is improving the course. Granted...it still needs work, but it's better in August of 2020 than at anytime in the past 15 years. It takes years to reverse weeds and get grass and bunkers in great shape after a decade of neglect. The layout of the Blue/Red courses is fantastic, with nice elevation changes and beautiful rolling hills. I play it as much as I can and urge everyone to support the new owner so that this course can come back to the condition it was once in.
