This course offers a nice variety of holes that are routed through rugged woodlands, gently rolling meadows, and a former rock quarry. Both the greens and the fairways are generous. Tee and approach shots are open. The front nine plays across hilly terrain, with mature, oak-lined fairways. The second half of the course is open.

There are three nine hole courses here. The Front Nine Course and the Back Nine Course are generally played together to make eighteen holes. The East Nine Course is the most challenging nine because of its long par 4's, and several blind shots over hills. The Front Nine Course is the easiest because it is the shortest. The fairways on all three courses are well groomed and somewhat narrow, and the greens are medium in size and speed. The terrain is hilly, and water hazards come into play on all three courses.

This club offers three nine hole courses that are played in three eighteen hole combinations. The East Course is a relatively short course. The greens are very undulating and hard to read. When you come to the 9 hole, notice that the white tee is a par 5 and the blue tee is a par 4. The West Course is a little bit longer than the East Course. The South Course is the shortest of the three courses, it has water hazards that come into play on every hole.

Michigan Golf Courses Comments:
This is a wonderful course to play. The terrain is predominantly flat, but there is some mounding which might cause an uneven lie. Most of the fairways on the front nine were much wider than those on the back nine. This is a long hitters dream course. The fairways are tree lined, so as long as you avoid them you should have no trouble scoring well. However, on the back nine, the course more than makes up for the relative ease of playing the front nine. By placing fairway bunkers and ponds in strategic locations, golfers are forced to either fade or draw the ball from off the tee.

This club offers two regulation eighteen hole courses that were constructed on a former apple orchard. The courses have many other similarities.

The signature hole on the East Course is 4, a 340-yard, par 4, requiring a second shot over the creek to the green.

The new holes, called the South Course, feature more elevated tees and more undulation in the greens. It's a more modern design, with some forced carries on particular holes. The original West/East Course was built on rolling terrain and features mature trees lining its narrow fairways. The large greens are slightly less undulating and have medium speed, and some of the tee boxes and greens are elevated.
