The Jackal Golf Club winds its way around the Mt. Brighton Ski hills that have been a Brighton staple for many years. The golf course is improving now that Vail Properties have purchased the business. This year all new golf carts with automatic parking brakes were purchased so there is no longer fears of running out of battery mid-way through your round. The views on this course are wonderful. The fairways, tee boxes and greens are average to above average. The pin placement can be difficult on some of the undulating greens. THE RESTAURANT IS ANOTHER STORY!! They try....let's just put it that way. The food is DELICIOUS. The service and the restaurant both stink. They are hiring new waitstaff and it seems like it is a fault of a system. These young gals try their hardest but get all sorts of orders mixed up as well as the bills. We had to wait for over 45 minutes for our bill one night and there was nobody else in the entire restaurant except our small golfing league of about 20 people. Seriously, the entire restaurant is normally completely empty except for our group every other Friday night. Sad for a restaurant in Livingston County where the rest of them are busting at the seams.
Great coarse, love the ups and downs, and good for all types of golfers. Love the 18th island hole, will play this coarse again.
nice course but tricky and a lot of up and down holes. Club selection always important. Easier the more you play.
This golf course is on and around Mount Brighton and has a mix of highly elevated, wooded up-north, and large water protected holes. If you are looking for a traditional course, this is not it. but if you want to experience something unique, give it a try.
Four of us golfed on the Friday after July 4th. Horrible pace of play - 11:30 tee time, finished at 5:30. I counted 11 people on one of the par 4's on the front nine. No one seemed to be monitoring and some groups were more interested in beer drinking than golfing. Course in average shape and even from the forward tees, there are plenty of forced carries and uneven lies. Price was good at $22 - but I won't be playing it again.
In the winter it is a ski resort I snoWboard at mt brighton
Love playing this course which is arranged around Mt Brighton. From the first hole which is on top of the mountain, the course is well arranged and challenging. Some think its gimmicky which may be true depending on one's definition of 'gimmicky,' but on the other hand each hole is fair and playable but you've got to think it through.The course is designed to make one want to push it a little, and if the shot isn't good you'll end up in the woods or the water. I love the way all the fairways and holes are lines with the woods, its very scenic. Front and back nine are equally challenging.Huge makeover to the ski areas this past year was a little messy but that's all done now. I've never been backed up on this course because it seems during the week to have lots of tee times available.
one cannot just hit the ball, one has to strategically place his shots. Fairways and greens are good.
Hole #1 is at the top of a ski mountain. Great views, a variety of habitat and a very enjoyable golf experience overall. 60+ aged hitters that can't take it long? Use the gold tees to stay out of serious trouble. My favorite par 3 is #6. Enjoy some very interesting menu items afterwards in the Ore Creek Grill.
a very well layed ot golf course at a good price-very fun golf course where you get to use every club in the bag. Great par 3's, very good par 5's and very scenic and peaceful!
