    When one of my friends from Grand Rapids recommended a meet in the middle, me being from Lansing I…read morewas pretty skeptical, but what a pleasant surprise. We had a party of 8 and no reservations. As I drove up to the establishment I was taken by the great views of the lake and the public beach. They have two outside patios with one being a 2nd floor observation deck with a bar, beautiful, if you can get a seat as it is very popular. They accommodated us quickly and we were seated within 5 min without a reservation. Servers were attentive, helpful and friendly. The menu is large and varied and the prices moderate. The Ruben, a house special, was recommended and I ordered it. When it arrived I almost lost my mind, it was huge and delicious! Easily enough for two. Everyone in the party also really enjoyed their choices as well. Cocktails were on point. The one outstanding surprise was it had a bowling alley attached, but the noise from bowling was not discernable and what a cool thing to do perhaps during a winter visit. We will defiantly be back and I strongly recommended it even if it is a fair drive in from the expressway. Worth it.

    I'm not much for 5 stars but this is pretty damn close. Top 3 burger I've ever had. Beautiful view…read moreof Jordan Lake. We got the Potato skins and Beer Cheese for apps. I ended up putting the beer cheese on my burger! Phenomenal. Mel was our waitress. She was really helpful and even recommended the French Dip to my girlfriend which was also great. Their ranch is top of the line too. Can't wait to come back

    Went for bowling. Friendly staff, great food/pizza and atmosphere. Will definitely be going back…read more Would like to check out the golf next.

    Just spent 4 nights and 5 days here for a golf stay and play with almost 30 guys. We stayed in…read moretheir onsite villas and those were pretty great. Large, fit four persons per, with your own bed, own bathroom per bedroom, full kitchen and even a fireplace and deck. Very comfortable lodgings. My only hang up I experienced was some missing items and cleanliness. The first night I found what looked like blood on two of the four pillowcases of my provided pillows. I quickly tossed those outside and they were replaced by the cleaning girls the next day with apologies. I did try to reach someone at night but this place has NO ONE on staff after 10 or 11 so if you need something, you're on your own. We also didn't have any facial tissues and only 1.5 rolls of TP but that was remedied the next day. The showers aren't anything special; heads are very low and water is sparse but it gets the job done. The entryway to "check in" is their golf cart barn, which is weird. No real front desk. We had to walk into the bowling alley/ bar to get our keys, which were electronic. Bowling alley is nice! Good bar, good drink selection, private event room towards the back (which we had booked each night for meeting and food). Even bowled two nights of our stay which was fun. Now the best parts of this place are the employees; they're simply wonderful people. They make this place. Nicole, Ali, Olivia, & all the servers and desk peeps are awesome. And the food here is pretty effing good! Large portions of steak and chicken parm; just impressive kitchen they have here. Very happy with the food options. The worst part about this place is working with the owner. She is so scatter- brained and unhelpful. Do not deal with her if you can. 1. She threatened to release my tee times unless I paid at least half of the total bill of my group within a day IN ADVANCE of our arrival. 2. She wanted me to pick everyone's dinner for the first night by noon; she PDF'd me a menu to my email at 11:52, expecting me to get everyone's choices by then... 3. Supposed to have shuttles to THEIR courses; they didn't and couldn't get one so she and her husband took their personal vehicles and picked up a few of our guys. 4. Supposed to have shotgun starts on all THEIR courses. 1 out of 3 rounds we did. 5. Never booked our tee times when I signed our agreement back in DECEMBER; it took them 7 months to start discussing tee times and I had to personally call another golf club's owner to get us back on their tee sheet. 6. She is not good at working/ dealing with people. She talks over you in a rude, condescending manner. 7. She was onsite for 1 hour during our stay, when she had to make up for the shuttle debacle (of which she told her workers that I was supposed to set up). Now the golf here and at their other course, the Pines. Its not resort golfing, its not even county course golfing. Its rough around the edges. I will say the Pines course has a GREAT bar and facilities but the rest is very old maybe? The courses themselves are nothing to brag about. If I had to guess normal tee time costs during weekend rounds, I wouldn't pay more than maybe $30 a round at either one. Thats really what those courses are worth at best, to play, paying straight up. I would stay here again, but I'd limit my golf at their courses and play the other courses around town that we did enjoy. The villas, food, and employees were great. The owner sucks but limited interactions with her and you forget she exists.
