A fun, but challenging course. My wife and I scrambled and didn't care what our score was. The view of Traverse Bay is worth the green fees.

This is a nice course that is fun to play. Low key easy to get tee times and nice little bar when the round is over.

If you are traveling for golf, given all the great gold courses in northern Michigan don't waste your time on this one. By today's standards, this is not a very good course.

Went and played 18 holes today. Let's just say for $40 I did not get my money's worth. The greens are really bad right now and they still charge 40 bucks. The crown has my business from now on.

Staff was friendly. Forward tees weren't consistent with the card. Some rough greens and cart paths but we would go back for something and somewhere different to golf when we are in the area.

We had a charity outing, and I found this to be one of the best public courses I've been on! Has a similar feel to some of the high-end courses in the area. Definately a course worth the money.

Very well kept for the amount of use it sees. The views from #6 of both arms of the Grand Traverse Bay are like no other place in the area.

Elmbrook is real "value" play in the TC area. The resort courses get a lot of the glory in Northern Michigan, but Elmbrook offers a nice course that is well maintained for a reasonable price. Some the views here are very nice too. The locals all know Elmbrook is a great place to play and if you're visiting the TC... More

Elmbrook Golf Course is a great affordable entry into the world of Northern Michigan. You are only a stranger there once. Smiles greet you as you drop off your clubs by the cart barn folks as well as those at the desk and those behind the food and beverage counter. For Up North golf, the cost is reasonable.
