We had a group of 4 stay at the property. The lodging was very nice with bedrooms for each of us along with separate bathrooms and showers. The only negative was the wi-fi could have been better. The forest dunes course was excellent , a good layout in good shape. I was not a big fan of the loop course. The course was hard as a rock including the greens which made playability questionable with some of the pin placements. The greens putted fine on the loop but overall I was unimpressed with the 2 rounds for the hype and price.
Great place to golf and spend a few nights. We stayed onsite for two nights in a two bedroom (with kitchen and living room) unit. We played the main course (dunes) along with the loop (both Red and black). We preferred the dunes course, but the loops is interesting, especially the second time you play it (in the other direction). The practice area is included with the price of the round and it's amazing. They also have a cool 12 hole (I think) par three course that is right next to the outdoor bar. Lot's of fun to play after our round (they have music playing outside - speakers everywhere). Third time playing here and I would come back again. 2.5-3 hours north of the Detroit Area.
Forest Dunes is a golf destination that absolutely lives up to the hype. From the moment we arrived, every staff member we encountered was incredibly helpful, friendly, and clearly passionate about the experience they help create. The courses — Bootlegger, The Dunes, and The Loop — were immaculate. Each offered a unique but equally stunning layout, with a great balance of fun and challenge. The Bootlegger in particular was such a great vibe — playing the par 3 barefoot with music on outdoor speakers throughout and drinks in hand was golf joy. The clubhouse blends golf heritage with a modern touch — a great place to relax post-round. The pro shop was stocked with high-end brands and unique gear that made it hard not to buy something. Our villa accommodations were just as impressive: clean, well-organized, and super comfortable, with the huge bonus of every bedroom having its own private bathroom. Beds were comfortable, showers had great water pressure, and the space was perfect for unwinding after a long day on the course. Food was top-notch. I had a perfectly cooked filet on night two and some of the best pizza I’ve ever had on night three. The staff even had our food ready right when we finished our round — a really thoughtful touch that didn’t go unnoticed. A couple of minor cons: the WiFi in the villas wasn’t the strongest, making it tough to FaceTime family, and the kitchens don’t have dishwashers or disposals — so just be mindful with food cleanup. Also, the golf carts will shut off if you get too close to the edge of the fairway, even if you’re not that close to the rough. None of these were deal-breakers, just things to be aware of. I’m also not sure the Loop and Dunes should be the same cost, but for a full getaway where we played all the courses, it’s just a part of the experience so money well spent for a golf trip. We can’t wait to come back.
