Welcome
Played there last summer, sad to hear it went private
Welcome!
Didn’t it join that group of courses (Sunnybrook, Stonewater, etc)?
They are part of that group but have been for a couple years I think. Weren’t totally private those years.
Yea they were private back in the 00’s, bankrupted back in like 2010ish so they went semi-private, and are trying again now apparently. It probably will work better this time as they are part of the RedWater/Watermark group (six private clubs now under one membership). They were owned by that group for a few years before going private, The Ravines and Thornapple Point are the only two they own that are still public
They did let us public golf commoners keep our work league there though which is pretty neat. Think one of our guys in the league is a member there so he probably greased some wheels.

Welcome, @LinksandDrinks1! Me and @EdgettJ_4 are behind the Red Water pay wall so to speak, so if anyone would like to get on any of those courses sometime, feel free to hit us up. Our home course is StoneWater so we have advanced booking privileges there but Muskegon CC and Thousand Oaks tracks.

I’ve been wanting to get over to Macatawa. Some local knowledge and a good walk is always appreciated!

Haven’t been on the refuge much lately, but I’m in GR and also part of RedWater with Stonewater as my home course. Anyone who is part of that and wants to meet up and play together, would love to do so!
Also would be down to host if you’re looking to see any of those courses and don’t have another way on.
@paroutfromhere anything I need to do to get added to the group? Thanks!

Throw your info in this spreadsheet and hop in the whatsapp for the west side!
Does anyone have a list of public courses in Oakland County that don’t make it near impossible for people to walk?
I haven’t played it in a while but I used to walk Kensington pretty regularly
Rackham, Sylvan Glen, Red Oaks, the Birmingham 9 hole tracks (Springdale and Lincoln Hills) maybe Glen Oaks for Southern OC

Pontiac CC, White Lake Oaks. Springfield Oaks you can walk but it’s a hell of a walk, not bc of green/tee length but bc of elevation changes. Pretty dramatic.
