This facility has an eighteen hole regulation course, plus a nine hole executive course. The Regulation Course is an old traditional design built on very rolling and hilly terrain. This course has no water hazards, but the heavy slope of the fairways will create problems, and the nine dogleg fairways force accurate shot placements. Some of the greens and tee boxes are elevated. The Executive Course has frequently watered fairways, but no ponds. This course was built on rolling terrain and is great for seniors, juniors, and ladies.

This plush course was built upon a bog, so shots land soft on the greens and only provide a little roll on the fairways. The fairway rough is quite long and can be a problem. The course is flat, but the tall trees lining the fairways can alter your shots. Guests must be accompanied by a member in order to play this course.

This course stretches itself over Michigan's plains in a majestic manner. With narrow fairways and fast greens, a perfect shot off the tee is very important. When approaching the greens, a golfer needs to have an accurate short game as well. The friendly appearance of this course can be misleading, however, it is one of the toughest around, according to locals.

This facility offers three nine hole courses that can be played in three eighteen hole combinations. All three are very well maintained, offering manicured greens and scenic city views. Homes lining the fairways of The Eagle Course cause it to play fairly tight. The Falcon is more open, however, longer yardage creates a different challenge. The most recent addition is the Hawk Course, featuring plenty of wetlands and undulating terrain.
