Great walk, rewards shot shapers, affordable., Apr 17, 2006

reviewer: Mike from Bakersfield, CA

You won't lose many balls on this course, just a beautiful walk along Lake Ming. Mixed dog-leggs all over the course, #17 an uphill risk and reward 220 yd par 3. Mixed undulation of greens make one think before addressing putts, which tend to break toward the river. Only negative is that greens vary in speed.

Darlington Country Club
"Nice small town course"
Nice course.

Plum Hollow Country Club
"Plum a plum"
If you like a rollicking round of golf, Plum is the place for you. The par 3's each have a distinctive personality unto themselves, one apart from the other. They are like chapters in a delicious novel that unravels step by step in front of your very eyes. The par 4's all present daunting challenges for maintaining a par round, owing to clever fairway bunkering or something not seen in the approach that becomes clear only upon reaching the putting surface. The par 5's are spectacular, culminating in a finishing crescendo in holes 17 and 18. With any kind of match coming to a conclusion -- a five dollar nassau or a challenge match with the wife -- anything can happen on these last two holes...and usually does!!! The round is made complete by the singular service inside the locker room by the most respected club house attendant in the state of Michigan, Chewy.

Sunnybrook Country Club
"Trouble in all the right places"
Sunnybrook is a 45 year old course designed by Bruce Matthews. It is a joy to play and in excellent condition. A map of it may look pretty straight forward, but there is trouble in places you simply have to play around. Grass is in great shape and well cared for. The premium is on hitting a straight ball and knowing your club selection.

Willow Creek Golf Center
"poor management"
The course is typically in awful shape, must not have a greenskeeper. They just have one cup on the putting green and never change it. The driving range balls are awful and the people working in the shop are rude. Lights are not replaced on the course, and maintenance of the course is horrible, very trashy. Nice layout, but bad maintenance, not worth the experience.
