College Fields Golf Club

Purse has come a long way. The greens and fairways were in good shape. The rough had sprinkles of clover and such throughout, but honestly didn't affect the playability. Good track for the price for sure... Especially if you are a walker.

First off. A mid 3 stars. I'd go 3.6 on this course. I'm a 16 handicap and was playing with two slightly higher handicaps (they had a tougher round than me) The good. Course is in fantastic shape, some of the best cared for greens and tee boxes in the Lansing area. Staff was tremendous and friendly. Pace of play was perfect...not rushed, no waiting on tees. Some holes are beautifully laid out. Just challenging enough. The bad: some holes feel "wedged in"..almost like they needed to throw another 2 or 3 holes in and didn't know how to design the entire layout. Range wasn't open(though a nice putting and chipping area was) very little shade on the course...so it gets hot in the sun. Price is a little on the high side for what you get (hawk hallow, forest akers west, and timber ridge are all better values at this price point, IMO). All in all an enjoyable round and very well maintained. Course design is what the course design is...can't do much to change that. Certainly worth a round ...no regrets.

Overpriced for the quality, no replay rates. Not that unusual for the area, but what is unusual is a groundskeeper who felt the need to drive his lawnmower over our golf ball and spend 5 minutes holding up play whining that our two groups of golfers were playing too close together. We politely let him know we were well ahead of pace of play, and asked if we were bothering anyone. The self-appointed guardian angel of College Fields gestured weakly while muttering something about condos, then made a show of getting our tee times as he threatened to summon everyone with actual power. They of course never arrived. We certainly won't be interrupting your mowing with our golfing anymore.
