We had a great time! It is a beautiful course! All employees were super helpful. The drink/snack lady was super friendly and came around often. There are a lot more port-a-potty than a lot of courses we have been to. (Thankfully!)

Challenging and beautiful course

The course itself was very pretty, but we were very disappointed by the extremely slow pace of play and the other groups on the course. We drove over 2 hours for the day to play The Bear and it took us 6 hours to get through 18 holes. We played behind an extremely rowdy bachelor party who was blaring vulgar music and yelling their whole round. One of them even relieved himself on the course. We were expecting better from a course that is so well known and were hoping the others around us would be respectful of other players. Not worth $125 each for the round considering we could have gotten the same experience at a 1 star rated course down the road from our house.

The Bear: not yet played. The Wolverine: great course, especially for the high handicapper. Wide open fairways and very hilly on and off the green. Fun for all. Played the course several times including once for a bachelor party. Spruce Run: excellent golf course. I love the spruce lined fairways, plenty of water and sand hazards, and the toughness of the greens. This is a somewhat short, but challenging course.

This resort purposefully withheld that they had a “member” event to every single paying customer so that they could pull the rug out from under us by getting reservations and tee times. Then the round had 8 somes of “members”—whatever that is because this is a resort course—and 6 hour rounds. Unethical and shitty customer service.

One of the best course I’ve ever played. Challenging as can be, and used to be on the list for America’s hardest courses! There is no flat spot on the fairway, making every shot a fun one/miserable in a good way. I’ve been back a few times and I’ll return again. I can’t wait to come back!
