Thornapple Creek Golf Club Tee Times

I have played Thornapple Creek for many years. It is hands down the best golf for the money of any course in Michigan. It has beauty, toughness, fairness and plenty of fun ahead for you. Give it a try and you will see what I mean. You will be back to play it again and again. No 2 shots are the same. The staff is awesome and the food is above average. You can tell the owners pay attention to the details and I appreciate that. Great times had by all at Thornapple Creek.

Played this course for the first time today. it was a little wet but to be expected. the layout and course condition were excellent. Food and beverage were good other than only seeing the beverage cart on the 2nd hole and never again. Overall for the golf which I was really here for it was excellent and will definitely be returning.

I play Thornapple Creek a lot and can honestly say it's the most beautiful piece of property that's also a golf course you will ever enjoy. Very challenging but fair, not your typical back and forth course you see everywhere else. Plan on about 4 1/2 hours of pure heaven.

I'm not a golfer, so reviewing this as an event planner. Hosted a golf fundraiser here for an area non-profit. The staff is terrific to work with from the planning stage all the way through the event. Food was top notch and our golfers loved the course. Highly recommend Thornapple for an outing.

Review below I could see why it would take 6 to 7 hours if busy. I would recommend playing the course in the morning before 9 am. There was foursome that was 4 holes in front of us we caught at 13 (professional range players here on a work visa) working on 6 hour 18 without ranger to speed them up. It appeared to our foursome more people really show after 9 and gets slow. Tee times are 10 minutes apart which likely helps the pace of play for 2013 (I assume this is change for 2013). I thought the course was interesting and anyone should give it try. Course with alot of elevation changes which challenges to find your target lines first time playing. There are a number of blind landing areas (but fair). The front nine is short and narrow, due to low area holes 2 and 4 you have to stay on the cart path. This does slow things done a bit. Back nine longer more open and tougher. All the greens have alot of undulation. Due to the undulation green speeds are slower but speeds do pick up as the greens dry out. If greens were any faster balls would fall off greens very easily. Sand traps were well groomed and consistent feel. We purchased special at West Michigan golf show $80 for 4. I have trouble at $44 (I think on there website if making online reservation you can get a cheaper rate) on weekend but then again I have seen some cow pastures charging $35 for 18, and this is considerably better than a cow pasture. If the front nine was like the back nine $44 wouldn't be a problem. Give yourself plenty of time before tee time if you need to hit some range balls. The range is down the road (1/4 mile) and you need to drive your car, no golf cart access. In addition getting to the course you have a number of back roads to travel on (all paved). My only real negative issue was I had made a tee time 6 days out and was told I didn't have tee time upon my arrival but someone had just cancelled. My recommendation is play the course.
