You don't feel like you're rubbing elbows with other golfers at adjacent holes. A plus side to this course is the wildlife. A variety of animals were spotted throughout: beavers, deer, turtles, chipmunks, turkeys, geese.

There are water jugs available for drinking halfway through which is a really nice and an appreciated touch. Benches scattered throughout the course for leisure viewing. Golf carts run great and they go decently fast. Push carts are free if you choose not to ride. It is a cheaper golf course in the greater Grand Rapids area; $17 riding, $15 walking. They have a driving range across the road too. I like the props they have set out there including a submarine. Makes the range more fun. Great golf course to start playing at if you're just getting into golf.

Many private golf clubs now offer public dining in their restaurants. My club is no exception. The…read moreconcept seems to work well. I received an email from Railside Golf Club for a "Burger Wednesday" special. We figured, "why not" and drove across town to try a new restaurant for us. We were quickly seated at a table with a nice view of the golf course. Our drink orders were quickly taken and we ordered our burgers-medium rare as always. Our lunches arrived a few minutes later and well done would have been an under characterization of how much these burgers were cooked. They certainly didn't taste any better. My "plain" burger was loaded with onions and lettuce that I had to pick off. No attention to detail. Also To be fair, if I was at a friends BBQ and was served a burger of this calibre, I would say nothing and simply enjoy the time with friends. At a restaurant however, this is unacceptable. Halfway through our lunch, our server asked how everything was and offered to remake everything. We declined just wanting to finish and leave. Two positives, our drinks were quickly refilled and the view was nice. I think I learned something here-don't chase deals. I would have gladly paid much more for a perfectly cooked burger.

I had called ahead of time to see if they had rental clubs- they do! I booked a tee time online-…read morevery easy. Create an account (which works for several courses) and book your time, pay at the counter when you arrive. Parking was easy. They have a lot in front of their club and restaurant as well as an overflow lot across the street. I checked in and was offered ladies clubs, men's regular and men's stiff shaft clubs. I chose the ladies but I wanted a senior men's graphite. Oh well. Total charge $58 greens fees, $16 large bucket of balls, rentals $40. I was advised to grab a cart because the practice facility is across the street and kinda far. I strapped the bag on the back, unloaded my water and coffee into the cart and noticed I did not have a putter. The clubs were so new- the plastic was still on the driver. I don't think they'd ever been used before. I went back to the shop and they offered me a selection of used putters, I believe from the sets of members bags!!! The three options were not anything fancy, were all the same style and all actually weighted the same, so I picked based on the grip. The practice facility was well marked with signs all the way there. It was far. Large bucket of balls was dispensed using my ticket code at the machine. It was in fact, large. Next time I can do the medium. I picked a spot and I used my range finder to see how far the rental clubs would get me so I could plan my game. After warming up and getting my distances, I went to the sand trap / chilling area and then back to the cart to drive to the putting area which is near the tunnel. I met up with the other 3 randoms at the club, 10 min prior to our tee time. The carts have gps, which is useful. They also tell you the topography of the greens. There were no cart restrictions that day, so we could drive all over except for the par 3s. The carts did not have a cooler, they did not have a rake, and they did not have any magic sand for divots. In fact, the course hasn't been open this season for very long because there was only ONE trash can on the course and ZERO rakes. No magic sand boxes either. I assume they have all these things in season, but I don't really know cuz it's my first time golfing here. The threesome I paired with kept mentioning how good the food is at the restaurant there- Gypsum Grill. We stopped at the bar so they could pick up long drinks and fireball and beer on draft. They were having a Sunday funday for sure. I used the restroom in the club- there are two. I did not see any along the course. The course has a lot of hills. I didn't notice any water. It was forgiving in the sense that some fairways are side by side but the greens were challenging. Cart paths are clearly marked. Tee boxes and fairways and greens are all in great shape. We started at 11:51 and finished by 4:30, so it was a bit slow. I will say, my group was in no hurry so we were part of the problem. The weather started out cold, then got sunny and beautiful, but super windy and grey by the end of it. But I was still happy to be out on the course. At the end, I went to the shop to return the rentals and get my drivers license back. I also picked up a hat off the sale rack. I'll definitely come back. This course's website says they are open if the weather is above 40. They also have a 3 hole par 3 course that opens on May 1st. They have evening tee times as late as 6:30, per the employee at the register. See my ball dispenser pic for deals and hours on driving range play.

It is a little pricey at $60/person, but makes for a fun outing now and again. They do not serve alcohol, so be sure to pack a cooler.

He helped me make a few small changes, and really improved my game!

Indoor and patio seating is nice, comfortable and can easily accommodate small groups I would think Certainly will return if only for a meal.
