2.50 star(s) Decent practice course For a 9 hole course it has some nice open long shots to practice the long drives. Holes 1, 2, and 7 play into some trees and brush which makes them a little more challenging. Not much in the way of scenery and the road right next to hole 7 is bothersome. (One of our...

2.50 star(s) Nice place to practice The course was a fun place to play. Playing right next to the lake was very pretty and used the space interestingly. Holes 8 and 9 played through woods and were the more challenging holes but not overly difficult. We played on a weekday so there were only 2 other...

3.50 star(s) Challenging and fun Challenging short wooded course. Well marked trees on fairways and signs at each pin pointing toward next tee. Tee signs were clear and easy to read. UPDATE: Now that the back nine holes have been put in my rating has gone up. The new holes are great! They are fun to play...

Great, thanks for the suggestion! I'll look that one up. :) Cheers

Hey everyone, I am going to the Marshall, MI area for work for a couple of weeks and was wondering which courses you locals would recommend? As I probably won't have a whole lot of free time to play, I was looking for courses around an hour away. (I'd love to play Flip but not sure if I can...

4.00 star(s) Great course! This is a beautiful course! Challenging and picturesqe. Good variety of holes with elevation changes, relatively open to tight fairways, interesting pin placements and well kept grounds. No really long, open "air-it-out" holes but that's ok. The little maps on the tee signs...

Anyone know what the plan is for improving the tee pads and signs for the two newest holes at Sims Park in Euclid, OH?

I made myself a portable driving range. I have a string of twine with knots at each end measuring exactly 50' and about 6 differently colored painted ~2' long dowl rods. I find a "tee" spot and measure the whole thing out in a field putting the dowl rod markers every 50'. Works pretty well...

4.00 star(s) Great course I love this course, great variety of holes and distances. The scenery is wonderful along the lake and there is quite a bit of wildlife to see as well. (Last time out on hole #1 we had to play through about 5 deer who didn't seem to care at all.) As has been said, the front 9 are...
