First time playing here. Saw this course listed on Group Golfer and decided of buy two rounds. It was about 2 hours and 15 minute drive up to the course which is really out in the middle of nowhere. A few of the staff referred to the course as their "hidden gem". The staff were exceptional, friendly and very informative as to the course rules and some of the tips for playing the course. The clubhouse is a log cabin. Very rustic on the inside and comfortable. They have a nice bar and lots of room for seating plus a deck and outside pavilion. The whole course was in excellent condition. The fairways and greens were great and the rough was well trimmed but thick and tough to get out of at times. The greens were very nice, multi tiered and fast. The fairways were well manicured and definitely where you want to be. The cart paths were dirt but in very good shape. There were a few rough spots but that's to be expected. They have a few wooden bridges/cart paths that are in need of some repair. That's the one draw back to this course but it doesn't take away from the overall condition. If you're wanting to play a links style course then this is a must play! The staff and the course will not disappoint! Loved the experience and will be going back again soon!

To put my review into one phrase: Exceptional golf experience. I had been recommended this course by multiple friends & I had also heard about it from the MDG group. It’s about an hour drive from the east side of Metro-Detroit but it was well worth the drive!! An up-north golf feel, every hole you feel like you’re at the British Open. The Tips are about 6500 yards, the bunkers are encompassed with beach-like sand, well taken care of. The tee boxes were very clean, fairways immaculate & greens played true to feel. Pretty fast but not pool table fast. Exceptional views as you wind through the rolling hills. Not a ton of hazards if you can somewhat keep the ball straight. Clubhouse is a log cabin & the staff is all extremely pleasant & welcoming. I got out on a weekday afternoon and was able to play a solo round in 3 hours. Amazing pace a play, I did not see a cart girl but you could re-up your beverages & food on the turn. Overall the Links at Hunter’s Ridge was a great golf experience for the value and I highly recommend it to others who enjoy golf. I will be back, many times more!

I don’t believe I’ve ever left a negative Google review in my life but this feels necessary. Was really excited to check out this “Hidden Gem” -as I’ve heard it referred to- and was rather disappointed. Overall course management and functionality was lacking. We had a tee time scheduled and arrived early. There were 2 other groups in addition to ours waiting at the starter. The starter asked everyone their tee time. We were up next but he let a group go ahead of us because he “assumed we would be slower with a kid”- even though our kid is just a rider and we play as a two some. We then proceeded to wait on every single hole behind the group that wasn’t supposed to be ahead of us in the first place. Then at the turn, we were 3 groups deep waiting on hole 10 and there was no intervening from management regarding the groups taking 8+ shots on every hole slowing every group behind them down. They have tablets on the carts that continued to show us getting further and further behind pace of play due to no fault of our own. It should not take 5+ hours for a two some on a Sunday afternoon. Beautiful course but hard to enjoy with poor management.
