MICHIGAN MEADOWS GOLF COURSE (586-727-7029)
Michigan Golf Course Review
Michigan Meadows Golf Course in Casco (northeast Metro Detroit region) is a 5,923 yard par 72 layout that is designed for the enjoyment of all levels of players. Though relatively
short in yardage, the design packs some punch in the form of some tightly tree lined fairways with landing zones and green complexes that are often protected by water hazards.
Three sets of tee boxes play to distances and slopes measuring 5923 yards/131 slope, 5659 yards/129 slope, and 5070 yards with a slope of 124 for golfers playing from the
forward tees. The slope ratings from the blue and white tee areas (with yardages under 6000 yards) is a good indication that golfers will have to carefully maneuver their way
around this course if they are to score well.
There are numerous doglegs bending in either direction that will challenge golfers to hit the correct spots off the tee. Twenty sand bunkers (low lipped and non-penal in nature)
are situated along the bluegrass fairways or are situated greenside, and water in the form of ponds or creeks comes into play on 14 holes.
On course yardage markers are posted in the form of color coded stakes, at 100, 150 and 200 yards, and small positional markers on the flag sticks indicate the day's front,
middle or back pin placements. There is a nice mix of fairly open and tightly tree-lined fairways, and the green complexes are usually quite level or only slightly raised, with putting
surfaces that are medium in size and undulation.
The clubhouse includes a pro shop, restaurant/lounge and banquet/outing facilities. Little Camilles on the Green serves golfers and visitors from surrounding communities, with
a variety of appetizers, sandwiches and dinner entrees. The property specializes in outings and leagues, and banquet facilities are available. There is a practice green on property,
but no driving range. This course is set in a very wooded area, with very few residential buildings in view. Rates here including cart are in the low $40's (or so) price range -
making this a good value golf experience for the region.
