First Time Playing

City Golf

We played this course and used a cart although the couple with us walked it. I might walk it next time with a pull cart. Coming from Arizona, it was strange to be golfing inner city with Lake Michigan to our east and the city to the west, but it was a fu corse. Just the ball) doesn't roll much in the thick grass,unlike the dead grass in AZ. All-in-all good time and would definitely play again. Reminder, gotta book early and if you want to play 18, we were told we had to book 2 tee times back to bak or with 15 minutes of ending the first round.

No rain is a disaster for this course

We have had no rain and therefore the dry fairways are unplayable. Pray 🙏🏻 for some rain, this course is a gem.

Had a great time. First time out this year. Bunkers could have used some rakes. Not every sand trap or hole had one

Good course

I was not overly blown away but it was also a chilly, non manicured course due to it being winter. Loved the course layout but am also not the biggest fan of courses adjacent to the Lake. Views are gorgeous however since these courses are all geese sanctuaries that protect geese, there is an incredible amount poop to content with. An INCREDIBLE AMOUNT. I opt for inland or suburban courses.
