The course itself was fine. My issue was with a member of the staff. I knew going into the round that it was going to be a long day. I took my father in law who has not golfed in years, along with my son and his friend who had never golfed. So whenever a group got close to us we would let them play through. It took us 3 hrs to play the front nine since we didn't want to hold anyone up. So I was ticked off when a staff member pulled up to my father in law and son and said we need to play faster. We had just let another group through on hole 10. My son and his friend didn't want to golf any longer since they felt they were slowing everyone down. I told them we are just fine.

Read moreI’ve been coming to Katke for 30 years, their prices at Katke since falcon head GC closed have been GREEDY, 10$ for a bucket of balls 35$ for 18 w/o a cart and $20!!! For a cart!!!???

Golf courses are my job and this golf course is...
Read moreOver all disappointed , Ferris State is one of the top Golf schools , but the service at the course isn’t good . In northern Michigan u are competing w golf destination resorts , this course fell well short. Club house charges more to golf then what was reserved via their website, club house provided no information , no ranger for tee times , turn for food was awful and slow , golf carts should be a lot better just average . I’m just disappointed as an alumni to the school when this is one of the prod moments of Ferris, it’s golf program . Disappointing companies to almost any course East...
