Right on the college campus, and they had a rec hall with Subway for lunch (which was open even on a Saturday when class was not in session). Main drawback to this course is that it was really wide open (not quite as picturesque as some courses can be). There were some elevation shots, and a few that went through sparse trees ... not all bad. I shot par on most of the long 500 foot shots, mainly because there was nothing in the way for an easy 300, 190, 10 foot putt. Even par overall, even though this was a longer course and it was windy. Pads were great, signs were great, but again wide open.

Looks like the course went through a major overhaul. New tee pads, new signs, and a reconfigured layout. This is not your fathers or stepmoms Jackson College course anymore. First time playing here. N ... show more ›

Looks like the course went through a major overhaul. New tee pads, new signs, and a reconfigured layout. This is not your fathers or stepmoms Jackson College course anymore. First time playing here. No place to really hide from the sun or the wind, this course for the most part is wide open. If your a dude that can grip it and rip it 400 feet all day, this is the course for you. As an old guy, I felt this course was a little long for me. Par 3s over 400 feet. Course is suited for the younger college generation.

The first 5 holes make this seem like an overly easy course, but that soon changes once you enter the brush and tree lined fairways starting at hole 6. Land off the fairway, and you'll pay dearly. Sti ... show more ›

The first 5 holes make this seem like an overly easy course, but that soon changes once you enter the brush and tree lined fairways starting at hole 6. Land off the fairway, and you'll pay dearly. Still, not an overly dificult course, and one I'd like to play again now that I understand the layout better. Thank goodness for the course map I found online. Very easy to take a wrong turn when looking for the next hole. Great signs though. Very helpful and nicely done. Would love to see some cement pads added at some point (and some trash cans).

Overall an average course that needs some work. First couple holes are full of litter. Third hole is damn near impossible to find unless you're with someone who has played the course before. Actually, ... show more ›

Overall an average course that needs some work. First couple holes are full of litter. Third hole is damn near impossible to find unless you're with someone who has played the course before. Actually, many holes are hard to find as they aren't marked very well. I found myself walking in circles multiple times wondering where the next pad was. Dirt pads, no hole markers (besides little wooden stakes in the ground which may or may not actually be there), really nice Innova baskets, decent up & down terrain with some fun holes but overall just an average course at this point.

I really like the course, some cool elevation hole which im a big fan of, as well as some 400+ for the guys who like to reach back and rip it. Not a ton of tight shots but still had some challging hol ... show more ›

I really like the course, some cool elevation hole which im a big fan of, as well as some 400+ for the guys who like to reach back and rip it. Not a ton of tight shots but still had some challging holes. There was some flow issues I believe holes 3-6 whould have ben very hard to navigate if we didnt have a couple locals with us. Speaking with them it sounds like permanent teepads and some redesigns are coming this year tons of potential to this course.

Okay so an A review might be pushing it as the course stands now, but this course has great potential and looks like we'll be making some of the necessary changes this summer to make it an A! I've alr ... show more ›

Okay so an A review might be pushing it as the course stands now, but this course has great potential and looks like we'll be making some of the necessary changes this summer to make it an A! I've already been in touch with the school and looks like we've been approved to promote and hold 2 fundraiser tournaments (one in Summer and one in the Fall) to raise the necessary funds to complete the course (put one removed basket back in the ground, add one new basket, and add signage). The elevation changes on this course make it unlike any other course in Michigan, and I'd like to take full advantage of this when planning the layout of the new holes. For those of you who have not played it, think big drops and winding alleys playing to mostly 300-400 ft. holes. There are some birdie opportunities, but take advantage of them cause they don't come easy! The course is tucked into the surrounding area of the college, is very quiet, and the scenery is great with all the rolling hills. Right now it's hard to navigate with the lack of signage, but this is one of the items on the list for the course revamp. Anyone interested in helping out with the fundraisers or providing input on the new layout of the course please contact me. Like a phoenix from the ashes this course will rise again!

Updated 2017 review. Finally has concrete pads, approx 4 ft x 10 ft, for all 18 holes. New course tee signs with hole map and distance installed on 4 x 4 posts. Course is fairly long (6,200+), wide open and has lots of elevation in play on almost every hole. Definitely a more open course than previous versions, I do miss all the trees that used to be here but happy nasty rough is gone. Trash cans are nice but their placement is horrible right next to some tee pads. Lot of walking up/down hills and not a lot of shade so bring extra water.

it is a very good course to really test your skils/courage some holes though are so tight along tree lines etc. that if you have a disc go way off the beaten path then good luck finding it, and there ... show more ›

it is a very good course to really test your skils/courage some holes though are so tight along tree lines etc. that if you have a disc go way off the beaten path then good luck finding it, and there is no hole #3 due to the new parking lot they are putting in. could use tee pads and maybe a better course layout, first time i went i was so lost
