This is a beautiful golf course in the heart of upper mid-Michigan. It's one of two courses (the…read moreother being The Dream) owned by what seems like two brothers. Driving into the course you are met by a very professional and classy sign denoting the golf course by name. A long, winding and picturesque drive eventually gets you to the pro shop. Let's get to the good stuff right away.... PROS: -staff is superb, friendly, professional and always smiling. -range balls are free with the purchase of your round. -the horticulture around the course is well maintained and very aesthetically pleasing to the eye. -definitely a challenging course for players of all skill levels -lightning fast greens -turf was very well-maintained and in great shape. -BYOB! They don't have a liquor license so bring your own and save! They have all the ice you need and coolers on the carts. -plenty of water stations on the course -off the tee most fairways are wide open and allow for those who may not hit the straight ball each time to still make a second shot. - greens fees include cart CONS: -a bit in the pricey side for a golf course near West Branch MI. $80 is a bit much. -under-rated by the PGA. 130 slope from the whites is not accurate. In my opinion, it plays more like 135-136 -some very large greens. There are times that you're so far away from the flag you wonder if the flat stick is enough. -lightning fast greens. (I do mean LIGHTNING!) -very challenging course for more novice players

We stayed at Forest Dunes for two nights and played Forest Dunes and The Loop - both courses are in…read moregreat shape!! It was also really fun that my husband and I got to play both rounds by ourselves, which almost never happens, so bonus!! The Bootleegger Bar is such a fun spot on the property - really enjoyed having a drink out there! We stayed in their lodge. The accommodations were adequate, but in need of an update. It's a beautiful secluded property, and I wouldn't hesitate to visit again, but the lodge rooms need some "vision". The staff were very helpful and welcoming throughout our stay. The pro shop is great! Whoever does their buying is doing an amazing job!! :).

Courses were good but play was slow. Bring your bug spray, but it probably won't help! Where they…read morereally failed was the customer experience. Everything closed early our entire trip due to them being slow and not being able to justify the employee expense is what we were told. Food came out cold and took forever to get to the table. Looking elsewhere next round. Once a year golf trip that could have been better with some simple customer service.

Decent practice range is nice to get warmed up for fun day on the Dream. A unique arrangement allows you to bring your own beverages and stash in the cooler that's part of each cart. Ice also provided. The staff is friendly and accommodating.

Always a great, well groomed course to play in West Branch. But tomorrow will be a the Nightmare.read more

Even Garland has a Twighlight special! No way would we spend 70.00 for 9 holes after spending what we did today!!! They just LOST business!! Unbelievable, I have never played a golf course that doesn't work with their PAYING customers!!! NEVER! This is an up north course that thinks they are Treetops .. lol... Even Treetops works with their paying customers. We have been coming here for years. WTH are they thinking? They must have more money than they no what to do with! That's okay, because there are a ton more golf courses around. I loved Cedar Valley, bilut I can always find another one.

If you're not a cheese person order light cheese! They load it up! Wish I took a picture of the pizza but I did get a cheese bread to go which was also delicious.
