Great golf course with reasonable (not cheap) weekday pricing of $55. The "replay" option of $25 for a full second round of 18 after you finish the first is a good deal.Tee boxes and green were in good shape.There are some tough forced carries as well. Be prepared to lose some golf balls if you are not a straight hitter.The course is very challenging. Hole 1 is 500+ yards and goes downhill before going uphill. Marshals and starters were all very nice.The sandwiches at the lodge are very good and not a bad deal. We split a hot ham and cheese which was jammed with smokey ham and lots of creamy melted cheese. Fries were crispy and hot. Breakfast buffet in the main dining room is between 7 and 9 am - $10 for really excellent scrambled eggs - well they were almost more of a thin omelet folded on itself but definitely made with real eggs. pancakes, creamy and filling hash brown casserole and tons of crispy bacon. The usual continental cold breakfast stuff was available as well.We would return and stay at their lodging. Only downside is they don't have a pool.
Very scenic, beautiful, green...and challenging! Easily one of my top three golf courses I've ever played. Pub overlooks the 18th green, so you can watch people come in while having a beer when your round is done. I can't say enough good things about the golf course at Yarrow.
I am not a golfer, but go for food. The restaurant sits above the golf course for a nice view. Food is so-so and menu is limited. But what a great place to sit out on the deck, have a drink, and share a meal. Facility has nice accommodations for overnight, parties, meetings. Lovely setting out-aways. Buildings are beautiful with overstuff furniture to sit on.
We love this golf course. It is always very well maintained and very affordable. The staff is friendly and courteous. Great place for outings. The food in the bar is an upgrade from normal bar food. Great spot!!
This course has a Northern Michigan feel. Tall pines line some fairways and it's rather hilly. It reminds me of The Chief up north, which is another one of my favorites. We went during the week in September and it was rather slow, which was great. We weren't pushing anyone and nobody was pushing us. The greens are large and there are lots of tall grass, woods and marshes. If you are not a straight hitter, you better bring some extra balls. We had a great, relaxing day on this beautiful track.
Excellent golf course. Very peaceful. No residential areas visible from course, only mother nature's best. Great variety of holes with elevation changes, short and long holes, water but not penal. Pro shop, lodge facilities definately have the lodge/resort feel. Course in always in good shape.
Played here last week. No water on the course, complained at the turn, and still no water or beverage cart on a 80+ sunny day. No starter, and range was not open when we showed up for our early tee time. Ate at the grill, slow service and food that was not prepared as requested. After years of playing here, it feels like they are trying to cut corners and do not care about service. Some parts of the course also felt neglected.
A very challenging course in a beautiful setting. Michigan golf at its best! Always look forward to playing this course each year.
I booked 2 nights in the resort after a referral. The rooms are small but clean. The feeling here is a older, rustic setting but with all the things we expect in a hotel. The menu at the lodge is lacking so expect to eat out if you're really hungry but the beer is cold and reasonably priced. The big surprise was the golf course. From the tips it's 7000 yards and it has some great elevation changes. This is a real challenge from the back tees! I'm from northern Michigan and this course feels like it's up north. Greens were in great shape and rolling at around a 10 on the stimp. Bunkers were in rough shape but other than that it's a gem!!
A very nice golf course near Kalamazoo/Battle Creek that gives you an "Up North" feel, I was impressed with the course and the service/food, people were very friendly there. The course was in great shape, the course was fair to play, not to hard or not to difficult, several sets of tees to choose from. The lodging was ok, nothing special but nothing bad either, but you are there to golf and not sleep. The course is in the middle of no where, so make sure to bring everything you need.
