The staff and course are excellent. If you get drinks, they have little soft coolers that they put ice in for you. I highly recommend golfing here.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First let me start with we were a group of 12 seniors on a Monday and we paid $68 to play which was about $20 too high for the course. I could have stayed in SE MI and played a better course for $45. The cart paths are terrible and being a Jerry Matthew's course the greens are all tricked up with false fronts and difficult slopes in all the greens. Reminds me of a tricked up putt putt course,  I asked if range balls were included for $68 and was Immediately notified that would be extra. The condition of the course was an 8 out of 10. I will not be going back any time soon as the value was not there for the senior rate during the week.

The course conditions are near perfect; the best turf you'll find just about anywhere. The best greens you'll ever play and very fast. Top notch customer service inside the clubhouse.
