Mystic Creek, Milford, MI

This golf course is located in Camp Dearborn in Milford.  We had to pay $4 to get into Camp Dearborn which I thought was odd, but we got a $4 "discount ticket" for the next time we golf there.  Wednesday is Ladies Day so I got to play a little cheaper (I got a few dollars off).  It was $49 for the 2 of us as non-residents.  There are three 9 hole courses - The Woods, The Lakes and The Meadows.  We golfed The Woods and The Lakes.  The Woods is a very scenic course with lots of elevations and obviously, trees.  The carts come with their own GPS system which works really well...but it's a little hard to figure out distances to some of the hazards.  The course was in good condition for the most part, though some of the fairways were really wet and a couple were kind of mushy, which might have been because of the rain the day before.  The greens were really, really fast...the fastest I've ever seen.  There were 5 sets of tee boxes and I played the front ones which was still around 5000.  I did lose a lot of balls because there were lots of narrow fairways and my ball would go into the woods and drop down a cliff!  On one of the par 3s, there were a couple of deer who had no fear of us...they just condinued to nibble the tee box as we drove right up to them.

The Lakes course wound around a lake so there was water on every hole.  It still had some holes with nice elevations.  Some of the fairways were pretty wet and not in as nice condition as The Woods.  The greens were still fast. There were two bathrooms that I saw that were in really good condition.  There was a cart girl but we only saw her once - I don't know if it was because she was the only girl on all three courses.  A couple of things I didn't like...I saw no water on the course and with the cart girl not around that didn't work too well.  There were not many ball cleaners, I think I saw 2 the whole day.  There was a nice outdoor area to sit and eat or have a drink but it overlooked the putting green and the driving range, which was a lost opportunity in my mind.  I definitely will golf here again and try The Meadows.  I'd like to golf The Woods again to see if I can do a little better now that I know about the drops offs!
