We paid $20 each for 9 holes with a cart. They gave us a cart without a roof on it. It was nearly 90 degrees outside with the sun beating down. Teeing off was impossible because it was like teeing off in thick rough. The fairways were like the rough. The greens were like the fairways. We lost at least 10 balls after 9 holes, some of them in the fairway. The yardage on the signs were inconsistent with what was on the scorecard. It was like playing in a random field. Went here a few years ago and I dont remember it being this bad. Maybe new ownership. But overall a terrible experience. Wouldnt even go back if I were paid $40 to play 9 holes here.
I was in Michigan for 2 weeks in September 12. I went here twice - both times for their All-You-Can-Eat Whitefish dinners. The decor is less than simple - a small bar at one end, basic salad bar, tables and chairs - thats it. Nothing fancy, but with their food, they dont need anything else. While the salad bar could really use some improvement, the whitefish was.. to put it simply - Superb. Lightly battered, mildly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The beer is some of the coldest in town. The staff, while obviously overworked, took good care of each guest and with a smile. The only flaw I observed was on my 2nd visit - it seemed that the kitchen exhaust fans were inoperative and the cooking odors were pretty thick inside. I WILL be going back to this place on my next trip to Cheboygan!

2021-11-17I am a worker here of this fine place and once I started working here I finally got to try Linns food. All I have to say is that she is one of the best cooks I know! Her food is so good. My family now goes there when we do out. Linn(the owner) is the nicest person, she treats her staff very very well. The prices here are awesome for the food. I absolutely adore this place, and I let everyone know about this place, its awesome service, and above delicious food. If I could give this place over 5 stars, I would.

2022-04-28Delish food, outstanding service in a well taken care of setting. A family favorite for our 4 generations of diners. Lynne and crew have service down to a science with a personal family touch. Do not miss dining or golfing here. 2022 new menu items coming soon.

2020-10-30Nice lady that runs the place, but theres not much else I can say nice about the kitchen unfortunately. I didnt get sick though and the chicken sandwiches are pretty tasty. So hey, be brave. Life is a risk, right?

2021-04-21Nicest folks around. It’s not Augusta, but greens fees are inexpensive and it’s a fun course. I’ve had to “argue” with her to allow me to pay for 2 rounds instead of just one when I play 36.

2019-09-01Very friendly and helpful staff. Lynn bent over backwards to make sure our family golf outing was a good time for all. We had a great time and enjoyed the course. Well worth the money.

2017-05-07Lynn and the staff are the nicest people you will ever meet. The food is excellent. The golf is very traditional, not so manicured.As perfect as a mom and pop course could be.
