GolfPass includes it on both the Top 100 Golf Courses in America Under $100 and the Top 25 Public Golf Course Layouts, Golfers' Choice 2024. Golf Advisor's 2022 rankings placed it #26 among the top 50 most popular courses nationally. Golf Magazine rated it #6 Best Course in Michigan. Golf Digest #39 on America's Top 50 Courses for Women.
