Played after some heavy rain in the morning and for 99% of the course, you wouldn’t know it had even rained. Course was in excellent shape. Loved the layout—don’t let the name scare you, it’s very friendly for all skill levels. Very picturesque. Played their sister course The Dream the day before, and it’s hard to say which I liked better. They were both great! Friendly staff, great driving ranges (balls included with your round), excellent value for the money. Hope to get back there someday. Don’t skip these two if you’re in the area!

Great course. Every hole was fun and unique. Trying that Dream next time. Hopefully just as good. Free range ball pyramids to hit before round. Super cool.

One of the most beautiful and dramatic golf courses I’ve ever played. Fairways are impeccable. Every hole is unique well laid out. We played on the second to last day of the season so the greens had been aerated and I can’t give them a fair review because of that but if they’re maintained like the rest of the course during the season I have no doubt they are also superb. Looking forward to returning in warmer weather.

Rolling up to the course felt like going to a resort. Beautifully maintained. First time here today and I can’t wait to come back. Free range balls for warm up. Great carts and cart paths. Every hole has its challenge. Greens are fast and big. Sand traps are soft and free of large stones. Bathrooms on the course are clean and every 3-4 holes. Well spaced out tee times. Could use some work on the pro shop rest room. That’s my only suggestion.

We played here on a glorious Michigan Saturday morning in July, 2020. Everything about the day was just about perfect. It was COVID rules so the services were limited but did not take away from the golf experience. They don't have a liquor license so they are very open and accommodating about bringing your own beverages and provide all the ice you could want. The golf course is spectacular but LONG. Several 400+ par 4s and one crazy 600+ par 5 (Number 8). One the day we plays the conditions were perfect and the golf course in extremely well maintained and cared for. The huge greens were very fast but true and not a tremendous amount of break either. Big, wide fairways and a little room to find errant balls when you really shank it. A great deal for $60 all the way.
