Eldorado Golf Course

Played in middle of July 2025. First time playing. Very scenic layout - with some tight holes thru the trees, elevation changes, and strategic hazards. It had rained earlier so greens weren’t as fast as they could be - but still had great pace. The front 9 is a little easier than the back. The Par 5, 8th requires a precise layup, but other than that, the front is pretty straightforward. The back has some tough holes, with forced carries and doglegs. 15-18 is a challenging 4 hole finishing stretch, with little margin for error. For being a northern michigan course I was surprised they didn’t have twilight rates in the afternoon/evening. Considering I played as a single after 4, I would’ve expected to pay less than peak rates. I knew that going in, but am still surprised they don’t do twilight rates at all. A final note - pace of play was great for 14 holes. I came up on some groups and played thru with no issues. That is until the 15th where I came up on a foursome - I later found out it was a group of 8, playing as 2 foursomes. No one else was ahead of them. They took 90 minutes to play the last 4 holes and did not let me play thru as a single! While I’m not going to blame the course for this wholly, my guess is these guys played at about 6 hour pace - which is unwarranted, and dampened my experience having to wait that long to play the final 4 holes.

I really Love this golf course! Sometimes the service is friendly and inviting, but i come for the course. Challenging, you can play it all sorts of ways with club choices and by what tees you choose to play from.

Very nice course with wide fairways and gorgeous views. Fall colors are vibrant and in peak. Played multiple times there.
