  I used to play here a lot but I got tired of the pro shop people. They won't let you book a tee time if you are one player. I also like to just play nine holes and walk. It's a pretty hilly course so it's a good work out. Anyway, I show up and they always say they are booked and can't get me out even after I call ahead. I ask to play the back and they won't let me. I've played nine holes there in an hour and fifteen minutes before by myself and no one in front of me. They think I would be in the way pf people making the turn. I mean, look out the window...the next group is not even close to the ninth green and there is no one on the tee at 10! Give me a break. I've also been harassed by the ranger and accused of things I didn't do, too, like damaging greens, etc. Just not worth the hassle. They know they will get paid whether people show up or not, so I get the impression they would rather no one was there so they wouldn't have to do anything.
  
  The course is great, though. They take good care of it. Typical tax money at work...they have too many workers. Sometimes I see them standing around with nothing to do. But I guess that makes for good turf, too.

  Wow! I had to walk off the course after eight holes. I have never been so mistreated on a golf course. My foursome played five holes and had a minor delay at the sixth tee. We allowed the threesome behind us to play through. As we were waiting for the green to clear the marshal drove through our group and told one of the guys not to hit his shot. The marshal proceeded to the sixth tee and had a twosome that just arrived play through us. They were older and took several shots just to get to our drives. The lady apologized profusely for making us wait and added she had no idea why the marshal had them play through. We told them not to worry and told them to enjoy their round. It took us no less than 40 minutes to get through the sixth hole. What a disaster. We played the seventh and eighth wholes and made it to the ninth tee when the marshal came down the fairway, passed by us, on his way the the eighth hole. He turned around and came back towards us. I want to be very clear at this point. We were on the ninth tee, the closest group behind us was out of sight but a view of their cart would suggest they were on the seventh green. No one was even on the eighth hole. The marshal approached us again and said we could hit our tee shots, but would have to wait for the group behind us to play through. We told him that wasn't going to happen. He said we would do as we we're told. That was it, I lost it. I told him what I thought of him and then hit a beautiful slice into the rough. We drove to our shots and he followed us and parked behind us. I was done at this point. Don't waste your money and time at this place. There are great courses in the area, but this place isn't worth it. Oh it only took us 2 hours and 10 minutes to play the nine holes even after letting two groups play through us. We were not slowing down the pace of play.

  I've played here many times over the last 15 years, the course has always been in very good condition. Sept. '09 I put together a small outing for the guys in my weekly league from Sterling Hgts. Most of the guys are 15-25 handicaps so I wanted a course that is open but has some interesting and challenging holes for the better players also. This year, all of the guys that went last year, wanted to go back and voted unanamously to return.
  
  The service was very good and when I called to set this up, John ('09) and Mike ('10) were very helpful. The check-in went very well with no problems at all.
  
  As usual, the course and greens were in great shape and we all had a great time. For a $40.00 course, it can't be beat and was more fun then many of the $100 courses I've played.
  Highly recommended1
