My Husband loves to golf, me not so much. He has been wanting to golf here for a while now, and I…read moredecided to come tag along to make sure he was staying out of trouble, because you know how men can be when they golf! ;) I had an amazing experience driving my husband along on the course, while he golfed and drank a few drinks. The course was beautiful and the staff were also very kind. After our morning of golfing we stumbled inside for some lunch. We had an amazing waitress, who seemed to be a college student. She was very well put together, confident, and orderly. She also smelled like Chanel. Our lunch was amazing and I made sure to leave her an epic tip! Thank you Forrest Dunes! -Debbie

These courses are not top 100 in the country. Must've paid to be on that list. Weekend hacks might…read morethink the courses are great but true golfer would know. Dunes course is just a typical resort style layout. A few good holes but other than that nothing special. Dunes Course - tee boxes, fairways and greens were in good shape.The Loop is a total dump. Total goat ranch. Only thing good about it is the architecture of playing it backwards but that's it. Both courses are overly priced. Any normal sized city these courses are $50 TOPS!! Gnats all over the loop makes golfing unbearable. Divots all over the course and dead spots. You better pray your drive in the fairway finds a piece of grass. They don't offer water on the course and don't even give you a .25cent bottle of water before the round. You have to purchase a $4 bottle. Rocks in all traps on both courses. I suggest cheating and pulling your ball out of the bunkers so you don't ruin your clubs. For the price they charge you would think the traps would be rockless. No one rakes the traps and even maintenance does rack the bunkers before first tee off. Over hyped and over priced. Staff weren't friendly at all. Starter said " people go to Arcadia for the views and here for the golf" Guy must get paid every time he says that. Go to Arcadia for a better experience. Course, lodging, food, staff and price are way better at Arcadia.

I'm not much of a golfer but I did drive the golf cart while my boyfriend played. Which was still…read moreso fun! This course allows you to bring your own beer which is very nice and makes it way more affordable. Although they did charge a ride-along fee, can't complain too much though! I was so excited to come here because my boyfriends dad got a hole-in-one here, some years ago and I wanted to see his name on the wall!! Coming from a non-golfer but from working at a golf course for 6 years, I feel as though I can say the greens weren't great but definitely not the worst either for a public course.

Our room was comfortable enough but outdated as were the exterior and hallway finishings. We were attending a conference and every staff member we encounter was friendly and helpful. The camaraderie at the bar was fun and comfortable however the pool area was like something out of a scary movie. I wouldn't mind dining or attending a conference here again but will find other accommodations next time.

Tubing is a great addition to break up the day, just make sure you get reservations. Ski rentals were easy and decent enough equipment. I highly recommend putting the kids in a ski lesson - each kid had a private instructor, which allowed mom and dad to have a cocktail and lunch. We ate and drank onsite. I would grade the food a 3.5-4* depending on where we went and what was ordered. Looking forward to going back.

We had such a blast that we are skipping the cabin and staying at your place this weekend and probably the rest of the weekends in this month. See you soon!!!!!!

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.

The snow was so good over the weekend at Crystal that we wanted to keep skiing so we decided to…read morestop for a night at treetops and take the kids skiing for a day or two. It was a great choice! This was a Tuesday night in February, so we were able to get a very good price on a double queen suite. Room was clean, comfortable and no issues. We had planned to go skiing Tuesday evening but ended up at the pool with our kids. The main lodge has a decent size pool that starts indoors and continues outdoors. There is an indoor hot tub and an outdoor hot tub. Also there are two Saunas. The kids were enjoying themselves so much we didn't even get to go skiing! On Wednesday we got breakfast at the top of the hill. We have eaten here before and it's always been good. After breakfast we got our gear and headed to the slopes. Treetops isn't a huge hill, but for the value midweek and 3 lifts, it's was a great time. We got started right at 10am and skied until about 4pm before heading home. There was almost no traffic and it was non stop skiing. The kids loved it as well and really enjoyed the beginners terrain park they built.

Everyone was…read morevery friendly and welcoming, they have a nice lounge area and clean locker rooms, and you get access to the resort pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room. The pool area was fairly clean with just a little bit of salt on the floor from people's shoes/boots. I had on flip flops, so it was ok. I enjoyed the hot tub, though it's highly chlorinated, and my favorite part was the steam room. That was very nice. They provide robes, flip flops and towels. We got scalp massages and Dazzle Dry manicures and both services were great. I especially enjoyed Emily who did my nails; she was skilled and quite pleasant to talk to. The wax dip is amazing and this Dazzle Dry polish is already lasting so much longer than regular polish. Love it. They also had really cute clothing in the lounge area - I was quite tempted by a couple of things. I would for sure return. It was such a lovely day after skiing.

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
