The Gailes is very interesting to say the least. Once you get past holes 3 and 4 it turns into a decent course. I have played many other links courses that were conditioned much better. I actually enjoyed Blackshire quite a bit more even though it was 44 degrees and the wind was blowing at 25 mph. Customer Service:
Lakewood Shores isn't much of a resort however. Breakfast buffet didn't have one healthy item on it and the clubhouse needs serious renovations. I have played Boyne and Crystal Mountain and those actually deserve the resort status. Rooms at Lakewood were new but sparsely equipped. Similar Courses Played:
I went and played and probably will never return again especially when I can find stay and play deals that are at least $50 cheaper per day and lots more amenities.

Most of my rounds the last few years have been in West Michigan where there are fantastic golf courses, but after playing the Gailes a few years ago, it now personofies links golf in my mind. The three or four foot high sod bunkers and pot hole bunkers play right out of the British Open. The wind off the Lake makes for a challeging round. The course is beautifully maintained and worth the trip to the Sunrise side of the state! For the price, surely top five our Wolverine state. The only thing it lacks are views of Lake Huron from the course, but then again, not a deal breaker Customer Service:
Great customer service, saw them at the West Michigan golf show. Very acceptable to group outings at reduced rates and have great two for ones available. Very nice and helpfull staff in the expansive club house area. Similar Courses Played:
Arcadia Bluffs and Golden Fox (Plymouth, MI)

I have played the Gailes twice and absolutely loved it both times. I am a fan of old school golf. I was having a career round until the shortest par four on the course inflated my score card into the low 90's. Customer Service:
Great customer service. Very helpful. Similar Courses Played:
My buddies and I stayed in the condos which were ok, but it was golf trip not a spa weekend.

I am 44 years old and have been playing the game on and off since age 9. Simply put, the Gailes is my favorite course in the entire world. (I haven't played St. Andrews, Augusta, or Pebble Beach....yet.) If you're driving up from downstate Michigan it'll take you a few hours to get here, but it's absolutely well worth it AND the pricey green fee (well over $50). The course is a spectacular layout of traditional, classical golf style, in the Scottish sense, with sod-faced fairway pot bunkers and large, fairly flat greens. Lots of bump-and-run opportunities, and the most unforgiving rough imaginable. A huge challenge, and I shot a horrible score here, but dream of returning, even if I score badly again. It doesn't matter. This is golf the way it was invented to be played. Fairways and greens, ladies and gentlemen, fairways and greens. Customer Service:
Resort course style, very classy.

Played their brand new Blackshire course which opened June 1, 2001. This is a total disappointment for me. This is a perfectly good track in a beautiful setting that is basically well designed (with the exception of a totally tricked up par 4 that forces a huge hook off the tee) that is set up to accomodate walking, but was completely ruined with the greens. They are an absolute joke!!! He barried 5 or 6 dead elephants under each green that make them completely Mickey Mouse. This is putt putt golf at its finest. They are so over-undelated that they can't even mow them without damaging them (which they have!!!) An absolute embarrassment for the designer. Stay away from Blackshire and go across the street to the beautiful Gailes course. Customer Service:
Personnel were very friendly and kind Similar Courses Played:
