Thornapple Creek Golf Club

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 c…

Great course! Chunks of grass clippings were found on nearly every hole, on every fairway. When paying this much for a course, this is not expected. Overall though beautiful course. Food choices at the clubhouse were minimal, hot dog or brat. I expected a bit more from a place that hosts weddings.

I've been playing Thornapple for over 30 years. Their motto to "Play the challenge" is accurate. The course is anything but boring. It presents new challenges every time I play it. The owner has made significant investments in recent years to improve the course. The staff is friendly and the food and beverage service is above average. Other reviews I read regarding pace of play issues have not been my experience at all over 30 years, whether for my Wednesday league or Saturday morning play. I'll be renewing my membership soon and looking forward to playing Thornapple again in 2015.

Wouldn't play this course again. My 4some and I gave this course 3 chances this year (2012), and we've all decided that we will never, ever, return. Im not writing this to be unnecessarily mean, Im writing to warm other golfers that unless you have 6-7 hours to play a round of golf, do not go here. Our first time we played Thornapple Creek, we got a rain check at the turn because the front 9 took 3 hours. The 2nd time we attempted to play this course was a month or so later, and the only reason we came back is because we had a rain check from the last time. There is a sign at hole 5 that says…

Best golf course I have ever played 18 on

This has been a great golf course, since I moved here 27 years ago. Unfortunately it is closing! This is the last weekend it will be in business, as it has been sold to a, developer. He's going to build 3 home sites on it for his children, and turn the rest of the property into a trap shooting range!

Played 5/26/16. $50 for 18 and a cart. The course was in ok shape more like $35 or $40 for 18 and a cart kind of shape. No where near $50, they need to either up their maintenance game or lower their prices. I won't be back till one or the other happens.

I play in a league at Thornapple and the course and club are great. The course is challenging but it is very enjoyable to play because it is in such great shape. The food service is excellent. Plan on a great experience!
