This short, eighteen hole course is very wooded. The fairways are narrow and tree lined, and the undulating greens are medium-sized. Water hazards (lakes and ponds) come into play on three holes.

It may be small but it's TOUGH, Aug 25, 2005 |
| reviewer: Barbara (Moran) Hernden
from Charlevoix, Michigan USA |
| The front nine has two par 3s, two par 5s, the rest being par 4s but they are not easy. Hole #3 looks like a piece of cake, till you try putting and watching what the green does to your ball. Like Ed says, Hole #4 is really tough, but the ladies get an advantage here. Also Hole #8 the men have to shoot over a pond through a narrow opening in the trees and the ladies get to start on the other side of the pond, it's a fun hole. The back nine are all par 3s but w/ narrow fairways and sand traps, it takes skill to make par ... it's a real test of your short game. Sure you can drive a 200 yard ball but how accurate are you??? This course will put you to the test. How do I know all this from northern Michigan, I worked there for 13 years before moving. Enjoy, it's a lot of fun and great people running the course. |

Looks Can Fool You, Jul 18, 2004 |
| reviewer: Ed S.
from Indiana |
| This course is small in size due to the par 27 back 9, but don't let the looks fool you. Every fairway is narrow and with most holes, a tee shot (or any other one for that matter) not hit straight will find trouble in the woods. The 4th hole is one to look out for. Unless you can drive the ball over some trees on the right, a golfer is better off playing this hole in percentages instead of "just going for it". |
