点评:The Forest Dunes resort is easily reached from the Detroit area, with two courses rated in the top 100 public courses in the US. The Forest Dunes course is a classic “up north” venue, with wide fairways, well-bunkered and challenging greens, and enough variety in the holes to keep it interesting. Definitely not a top 50 course but very pleasant and playable. In contrast The Loop is a joke, a badly maintained pasture with boring holes, and, because of the tricked up nature of being able to play in two directions, the tee boxes are often disconcertingly close to the previous greens. Watching bad golfers tee off within yards from your next green is boring and slows play. Definitely not a top 100 experience.
The villa housing option for four golfers was fine and functional at a fair price. The food and bar options were just ok, but nothing special (compared to, for example, the great dining at Arcadia Bluffs, another top rated Michigan set of courses). The golf staff was great. The lodging and wait staff was “varied” in their skill sets.
Worth a visit to check off your list of playing ranked public courses but lower your expectations for the over-rated Loop.
翻译:从底特律地区前往森林沙丘度假村非常方便,度假村内有两个球场入选全美百佳公共球场。森林沙丘球场是典型的“北方”风格,球道宽阔,沙坑布置合理,果岭极具挑战性,球洞变化丰富,引人入胜。虽然算不上百佳球场,但非常宜人,适合打球。相比之下,环线球场则显得滑稽可笑,就像一个维护不善的草场,球洞也乏味无趣。而且,由于双向打球的设计,发球台通常离前一个果岭很近,令人感到不安。看着水平不高的球手在离下一个果岭几码远的地方开球,既无聊又拖沓。这绝对算不上百佳体验。
四人别墅住宿选择不错,功能齐全,价格也公道。餐饮和酒吧选择也只能说还行,但没什么特别之处(例如,与密歇根州另一家顶级球场——阿卡迪亚悬崖球场相比,那里的餐饮非常出色)。高尔夫球场的工作人员很棒。住宿和服务员的技能“参差不齐”。
值得一去,看看你打过排名的公共球场清单,但对评价过高的Loop球场,请降低期望。
