Michigan Golf Course Reviews

Moose Ridge, South Lyon, Michigan

Here’s an updated list of Michigan courses I have played and reviewed. Recently added are Bay Harbor, Shepherd’s Hollow, The Gailes and The Emerald. As of this point, I’ve done fifty five reviews (perhaps more, but I can’t find them on my own site). I’ve taken notes and photos on every course I’ve played to enable me to write the review at a later date.

Reviews are based on my impressions of the course on the day(s) I played, and it should be noted that conditions and on occasion even the layout may have changed since I played.

All of the Michigan golf course reviews are from the perspective of a bogey golfer, and I place a premium on fun. I love courses that make you think a bit, and that don’t rely solely on length for their defense.  Also important to me is the ability to walk the course. I have found few courses where walking really was not practical. Too often, I believe, courses ban walking to pick up extra profits from the carts. Finally, I look for value. A course that sets a high bar by claiming “championship” status and charging a premium price had better be very good. A course that offers good golf at a bargain price gets good marks for meeting or exceeding their own standards.
