Extremely Disappointing Experience – Be Warned

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this golf course truly earned it. What should have been an enjoyable round turned into a 6-hour slog thanks to the course’s blatant overbooking and poor scheduling. Tee times are stacked far too close together, leading to constant backups on nearly every hole.

The worst part? Their money-grabbing twilight hour deal. As we made the turn onto the back 9, we were suddenly stuck behind several freshly sent-out foursomes—clearly squeezed in to maximize revenue with zero regard for pace of play or the experience of those already on the course.

It’s clear the management prioritizes profit over player experience. I won’t be back, and I wouldn’t recommend this course to anyone who values their time or enjoys the game as it’s meant...

This is a local municipal course and you are always going to get walk on traffic. In my eyes Oakland County would make more money on this place if they replaced the employees with people that are nicer. Or if they send the current ones to anger management training and teach them to be happy...
