Fun golf course. Routing is less than stellar, with a major highway crossing. Very friendly, good caddies. Don’t decline if you manage an invite.

Finally got to knock this one off the top of the bucket list. Mike Keiser's maiden course is an unsuspecting 9-hole club tucked along the southeastern shore of Lake Michigan, originally bought to save the land across from his beach home from condo development.

Fantastic course that's a great value. Can be frustrating at times when ball runs through fairway into the long grass and can't be found.

This place was a really pleasant surprise. We made a last-minute trip to South Bend to watch Cincinnati take on Notre Dame, and by the time we checked, The Warren Course was already booked solid. So, we headed over to Blackthorn — and I’m really glad we did.
