Loggers Trace-Springport Hills

Loggers Trace layout and difficulty competes with some of the most prestigious courses in Michigan. The previous owner Steve did a phenomenal job designing and maintaining the course for many years. However he retired and sold the place a few years ago and apparently the new owners have had trouble finding greens keepers who know what they’re doing. The course has always played as longer/slower greens and a bit higher cut fairways and tee boxes than your normal high level club. But this year, the greens have been burnt out or diseased and the fairways are higher than an inch. It’s simple, if the new owner puts the time and money with a little tender love and care, this course would be my #1 course in the entire Northeast. Adam and Lynn are the two everyday employees you see and they are amazing with their kindness and generosity. I hope they can work with the new management and fix the current state of the course.

Course has undeniable potential!! Great piece of property. However maintenance is in great decline. Worst greens I have seen in many years. Very scruffy and slow. Fairways barely distinguishable from rough. Clover rules the day throughout. Don’t know if the budget is lacking or the knowledge? With recent humidity greens will be lost without chemical intervention. Very nice staff. 5 stars for potential!

Usually a great course for the money. Whole course needs a lot of maintenance though. Employees and management are very helpful professional and friendly.
