American Campgrounds Inc
Feb 27, 2009 by Tracy from Alpina

Overall Rating: 10

• Most free camping.
• They really do stick to their today only.

“I am definitely a fan of A.C.I., I have only been a member for 1 year now, but before I purchased my membership I researched every Coast to Coast campground in the Midwest A.C.I. is not only the best place to purchase a membership, but they are the largest home park system in the program. They now have 11 free parks for you to use, any others around my area only offer 3 at the most. Also with the economy the way it is I wanted a park with a good track record, A.C.I. has been in Coast to Coast longer than any system in the country. I did more research on this than I have done since I had my first child, I suggest you do your own research though. FYI go to all the other parks first, I know for a fact that no one will stick to their today only except A.C.I., so get their info first then go there last, I did and it was well worth it. Hope to see you this summer!”

Warren Valley Golf Course
Feb 12, 2009 by JonBoy

Overall Rating: 7

• Very affordable.
• Rangers are inexperienced and play can be slow at times.

“While not being the greatest golf course in the region, it is one the most affordable for 18. Torre Golf Management has slowly brought this course back to life after the one year House Maintenance group near ran it into the ground. Greens aren't the fastest, but are always in good shape. Sometimes it will flood after a heavy rain, so beware! Overall, I enjoy each time I play there.”

Oak Shores Campground
Feb 9, 2009 by Judy from Kalamazoo

Overall Rating: 6

• We really liked the paved roads and it was clean.
• The playground needs to be up dated for the older kids 6-11.

“We when there for a week, (my family) and we loved it. We liked the paved road, so we could ride our bikes. The pool was clean and the bathroom & shower was clean. They had games that the kids could use, basketball,shuffle board, and there was a lot for the kids to do. Some of the staff could be rude but most was nice the kids could draw on the road and there was trail they could ride the bike on and riding the golf carts didn't bother us and everyone that came by us waved, so yes we would go back.”

Northern Lanes Recreation Inc

Overall Rating: 8

• Good rates, friendly people, plenty of open and league bowling.
• Slow help at times, unorganized book keeping at times.

“Not a bad bowling alley. Plenty of leagues and open bowling to tend to both casual and competitive. Service seems to be a bit slow at times though.”

Astro Lanes Inc

300 Bowl Action Center
Dec 16, 2008 by Lance from White Lake

Overall Rating: 3

• Great lanes, good house balls and seating.
• Pricey.

“Poor staff, but very nice lanes. They do not have good daytime specials, but do have great equipment and seating arrangements.”

Century Bowl
Dec 16, 2008 by Lance from White Lake

Overall Rating: 9

• Good lanes, good specials.
• Crowded seating.

“The seating area is not the greatest, but they definitely have the best that I have found around this area. The specials start late, but as long as you get there, before 4:30 on a weekday, you will pay $1.79 a game all night.”

Edward W. Sparrow Hospital Association

Overall Rating: 1

• Building was nice.
• Under staffed and unprofessional nurses.

“I did enjoy the elevator ride from the parking garage.”

Grand Blanc Golf & Country Club, Inc
Oct 8, 2008 by Heather from Whitmore Lake

Overall Rating: 1

• The place was pretty.
• Rude staff that were completely inappropriate.

“If you like rude and unprofessional staff, then you should love Grand Blanc Golf and Country Club. My best friend recently got married and decided to have the reception there. I have to say, the place is very beautiful, but within the first half hour, guests were coming up to the bridal party table in droves to tell us exactly how rude the staff was being. The bride had instructed that just the bar be shut down during dinner, but they were giving guests problems about even serving them water or other non alcoholic beverages during dinner. How many people do you know that like to eat without having something to wash it down? Closing the bar down should not have caused people to not be able to drink during dinner. The young female bartender behind the bar was consistently unprofessional and kept giving people attitude. The head chef that was working that evening even told guests you guys are me! This was told to them when they were simply asking for water with dinner. Gee, not that hard of a problem to find a solution for! Get some pictures and have your staff pass them out to each table. Then as if the rudeness wasn't bad enough, they closed the bar down a half hour early stating that the police had already been there. I thought that that seemed awfully strange seeing as it was one of the tamest wedding receptions I had ever been too. No one was acting crazy, no one was being belligerent, no one was sick. I didn't see where the problem was, so I simply asked "What? Why were the police here?" The response I got from the head cook insulted me greatly. He mocked me to my face and in front of many wedding party guests including the bride and groom. His response went something like this "What? Don't you what me!" I couldn't believe my ears. The bride had to check him on the fact that he had no right to be rude to me. When asked to explain why he was closing the bar down early to the bride. He stated that "we couldn't just to expect to come into somewhere and drink all of their liquor. Interesting seeing as the bride and groom paid to have an open bar! My suggestion to anyone thinking about using the Grand Blanc Golf and Country Club for any kind of important event would be to not do it. If you do, please be sure that you state you are paying for an open bar. Read the contract carefully. I think that if they thought an individual had had too much to drink it would have been a lot better to cut that specific individual off. Instead, they cutoff the whole party. Not the greatest thing to do to a bride and groom on their wedding night. You be the judge!”

Ingham Regional Medical Center
Sep 22, 2008 by Jamie

Overall Rating: 1

• Nursing staff.
• Everything else.

“The staff was wonderful, but I felt like a number within the system. Nothing was personalized, the food was terrible, management was invisible, and morale seemed to be low within the staff. On top of that the equipment was ancient and they hooked me to a big machine on wheels to look at my heart rhythm because they didn't have enough portable boxes! Honestly that's just the beginning. I can't even begin to complain enough. The nursing staff is the only reason this place got a score at all!”

Thunderbowl Lanes
Sep 18, 2008 by J from Ann Arbor

Overall Rating: 2

• A lot of lanes for open bowling.
• Staff is complete morons.

“The management and staff leave doors propped open with the AC running, causing the whole place to be hot and waste energy. The place feels like a gaping hole in the wall and attracts similar clientele.”

Holiday Shores Campground
Aug 28, 2008 by Fran Eaton from Titusville, Florida

Overall Rating: 10

• NA.
• I have nothing negative to say about this Campground.

“This is one of the best places to spend your summers and/or a week or two. We have been in campgrounds all over the country and this was and still is one of the best places to camp. While they may not have some of the facilities i.e., bath houses and laundry. It is not an issue for us as we have these facilities on our coach. There is a wonderful and challenging nine hole golf course attached to the campground. The entire facilities are well groomed and maintained.”

Brower Park
Aug 7, 2008 by Robin Rodarmer from White Cloud

Overall Rating: 10

• I love the spots right along the water, they are great!
• I dislike sunny spots, so we stay away from them!

“My family and I camp at Brower all the time; it's the best place on the river to camp! We love it!”

Newberry Koa Kampground
Aug 5, 2008 by Licagita from UP of MI

Overall Rating: 6

• Location, pool, friendly staff.
• Dirty showers.

“There are no planned children's activities, hayride, corn roast or community campfire. However, the staff is very friendly and accommodating, great location to do daytrips from (Mackinac Island, Sault Ste Marie are only 1 hr away). Our campsite was nice and the kids loved the pool. Showers and laundry facilities were a nice feature too, however showers were not very clean and getting hot water was hit or miss.”

Oak Shores Campground

• Not for families.

“Wouldn't go back. Not family friendly. No fun allowed. Looks beautiful, but looks are deceiving!”

Oak Shores Campground
Jul 28, 2008 by jamie from gobles

Overall Rating: 1

• It appeared nice. Then reality hit.
• Plain mean.

“The staff at the campground yanked a toy from a friend of mine who was playing with his son, she had no compassion and told him if he didn't like it to get out (this was at the pool) where they state its the law that floaties, toys and life jackets are illegal to utilize in the pool. I have looked up the law and found no such thing. The lady truly had no reason or right to snatch this from anyone and then she did not enforce the law for everyone. another child had a life jacket on, even though she said they are illegal and apparently you can wear arm floaties but cannot use a ring, or life jacket. I would not recommend this to anyone. Rude!”

Crystal Lake Campground
Jul 18, 2008 by Tina from Green Bay, WI

Overall Rating: 7

• People are very nice and help you out if you need it.
• If you get to the camping area early, you can't get set up because you don't know where to go until someone lets you know even if they have an open site.

“Loved it.”

Bucks Run Golf Club
Jul 16, 2008 by Barb from Cookeville, TN

Overall Rating: 5

• Ambience, view.
• Food.

“Ambience was nice - we ate on the veranda overlooking a great view of the pretty golf course. Food was something else. Six of us ate there. Two ordered steak done medium. One of the steaks was so overcooked it looked burned. The other had no pink at all. Three of us ordered lake perch. It was obviously ocean perch, a cheaper fish. Only one person was satisfied with their meal. The French fries and garlic mashed potatoes were good. We talked to the manager about the steaks and he apologized, but did not give any discount for them. The server was pleasant, but inattentive. She was not around early in the meal to send the steaks back, so the people finally just ate them.”

5 Star Lanes, Inc
Jun 16, 2008 by Adib from Warren

Overall Rating: 10

• The service is great.
• The food/snack bar is too expensive.

“5-Star Lanes is an awesome place to be. Ive been their variety of times and not once was I sick of it. It is a place to be to shake off all your stress. If you are in a group of people or by yourself it is really enjoyable and not to expensive.”

Grandview Golf Course

“Great value! Back to back par 5's on 16 & 17 are demanding.”

Lansing Cottonwood Campground
May 27, 2008 by helen from ohio

Overall Rating: 1

• Clean.
• Not kid friendly very rude staff.

“The first thing he did when he pulled up to our campsite was started cussing in front of everyone, remind you we had four children their and he uses the lords name in vain. He didn't even give us a chance to get everyone else situated and up to the front desk to register. Instead of approaching the situation in a grown up way he just started lashing out and cussing, and was in a bad mood because he was working a holiday. They have no idea the people and business they are going to miss out on now. It ruined the kids whole day but we made the best it. So if your looking for a campground takes my word for it, I'd rather drive three more hours then ever refer anyone to that campsite.”

Plaza Lanes

Overall Rating: 1

• None.
• The bowling clerk doesn't know how to run a business with any respect or dignity to customers and has absolutely no business acumen. He is very dumb.

“The bowling clerk is a mental midget. He does not know how to treat customers with any courtesy and respect, nonetheless on how to run a bowling alley. Bowling clerk is so dumb that this is probably the only job he could ever get and he doesn't even do this job very well.”

Dune Lake Campground
Apr 21, 2008 by Mark from Chicago, IL

Overall Rating: 10

• Wonderful swimming lake, rustic setting, friendly owners.
• I wish it were closer to our home.

“Dune lake campground is a private campground which is rustic and wooded and has a state-campground feel to it. It's not a cookie-cutter koa. Sites are a good size and surrounded by trees. There's a little spring-fed lake surrounded by sand dunes for swimming. And yet you're minutes away from lake Michigan beaches and hiking trails. My wife and I fell in love with dune lake and are now seasonal there. Southwest Michigan has everything from berry and apple picking to fishing, or shopping in the nearby lake-side towns (South Haven, St. Joe, and Saugatuck) to restaurants and a petting zoo.”

Westwind Golf
Apr 14, 2008 by Brian from Grand Haven

Overall Rating: 7

• Friendly course, not long, good on windy days.
• Front and back nines should be reversed.

“Not an upscale type course at all, but a quite friendly one. The front and back nines should probably be reversed as arguably the first three holes on the front are about the most difficult ones. The back starts off a lot easier. Good place to play on a windy day (in spite of the name) as only the few holes near the clubhouse get much wind. Greens can be a little slow at times, if you don't mind that. It's a pretty tree lined course. The staff are friendly. The clubhouse is nothing fancy, but adequate. Has a bar. I enjoy it there - but not the place to take guests if you need upscale.”

“Family vacation at it is best! Just booked our vacation for August. Can not wait. There is stuff for all of to do. Check out how close they are to the beach, fishing and downtown. No driving. It is always fun. The owners keep the hotel spotless. All remodeled, clean and well maintained. Picnic tables outside and a pool deck. Ludington is the vacation place for us and so is the Ludington Pier House. The Pier House is where we stay.”

Whiskey Creek Resort

Overall Rating: 10

• Nature at it's finest!
• If you don't like bugs - stay away during the hot/humid weather!

“Whiskey Creek is out in the middle of beautiful nowhere. If you like nature and just plain lay back, this is the place. They have 2 small lakes for swimming or fishing (no boating but they're 25 miles from Lake Michigan), nature and hiking trails. The lodge is only open seasonally and during the summer thats nice.”

Red Fox Run Golf Course
Feb 4, 2008 by Dennis Erickson from Bremerton, WA

Overall Rating: 8

• Diversity in the course design (back & front) makes it fun to play.
• That nasty little par-3 on the back-9 (hole-13) is too short & small.

“I'm originally from Gwinn and I've played Red Fox Run some 60 times or more over the years from the 1960's to the present. I've found the course very challenging (especially the front side) and unique due to the vast differences between the front-9 and back-9. The Par-5 finishing hole is one of the most demanding holes around. My best score on this course was -3 under par back around the year 1998 or 99. The staff has always treated me and my family very well. I recommend this course very much.”

Fenton Lanes Inc

Astro Lanes Inc
Jan 13, 2008 by Joe Ternova from sterling heights

Overall Rating: 4

• Big screen TV in the bar.
• Raising fees and not maintaining a minimum level of cleanliness for leagues.

“Lanes and house are not kept clean. Approaches are often dirty like the lint, shoe marks and debris. Lanes are not oiled before leagues. Snack bar prices are outrageously high. Since the new management took over 3 years ago the house has gone down hill. They have raised prices and even charge for a pitcher of water. They remodeled the table layout and have intruded on the bowlers area near the approaches. Very poor layout. There is no extra room near the ball returns for any spare balls.”

Michigan Resort Properties

Overall Rating: 3

• Wine and atmosphere.
• Food and service.

“There is no doubt that the wine and atmosphere is good, but the food and service leaves a lot to be desired. I went there one day and specifically let my waitress know that I had a dairy allergy which included butter and it was in one ear and out the other. She paid no special attention to it and this was after I had mentioned it about 3-4 times during my order. Needless to say when my plate arrived at the table I had to send it back. Also I want to mention that recently my in-laws ate there and she got food poisoning which sent her to the hospital. The management was not very helpful and later we found out that a friend was sent to the hospital that same week from eating there. Yikes!”

“This is an excellent park with a very friendly staff. My wife and I have been members for 4 years now and never had a bad comment about it. Laughing at myself when I see someone talking about the park shows its age and duck leavings on the park. To me people its camping. If you dont like trees and frown on wild life maybe you should camp indoors. Park is kept clean and bathrooms are well maintained on a regular basis during peak season. I have seen management about bend over backwards not just for us but every member I talk to. No bad comments here.”

• Am great full for the versatility of the coast to coast program, and the campground facilities.

“I have been a member for two years now, and my family and I are more than impressed with our membership. Not only do we use the campground when we feel like it, but we have been on two carnival cruises, Disney with the kids, and spent two weeks at lake of the Ozarks in Missouri through the coast to coast program. Just thought this would help, I noticed a couple negative reviews and it kind of made me chuckle, I havent experienced any problems like those. We love it!”
