Pierce Lake is a beautiful course in excellent condition. Hole 8, a par 5 on the front nine, was my favorite — long, scenic, and very well designed. The fairways and greens were in top shape, and overall the course offers a nice medium level of difficulty that keeps it fun and engaging.

Pierce Lake Golf Course is easily one of the better public tracks I’ve played in Michigan. It offers a great mix of scenic views, thoughtful design, and excellent value. The course was in very good shape overall. The fairways were well-manicured, and the bunkers were well-maintained—unfortunately, I became pretty familiar with them! The greens were a bit beat up in spots, but still playable and didn't take too much away from the round. The layout is a lot of fun, with a nice variety of holes and tee boxes that challenge you without being overly punishing. I especially enjoyed the back nine—it felt more secluded and had more character. Staff were friendly and helpful for the most part, though the pro shop could use a little more enthusiasm. That said, pace of play was perfect, and the experience overall was smooth from start to finish. For the price, it’s one of the best values in the area. If you're looking for a well-maintained course with a fun layout and a bit of that "up north" vibe, Pierce Lake is absolutely worth the trip. I’ll definitely be back.

Too bad google won’t let you give 0 stars. Played 18 holes Sunday May 21st and the big girl on the beer cart sold me a warm water. Every employee seemed miserable and none were pleasant to interact with. The fairways are mostly crabgrass with quite a few bare spots. They were hard packed clay in some areas and a muddy mess in others. If you like hitting off hard pan this is your place. You need a hammer to get your tee into the tee box. Every one of them were rock hard. The greens look diseased. Some are spongy and wet while others are bone dry. All look like they have fungus and each one putted at a different speed. There are homeless people living on hole 5/6 in tents. If the rents are too high in Chelsea, move out to a golf course.
