“Bucks Run Golf Club busted onto the Michigan golf scene in July 2000 with an incredible course designed by Jerry Matthews. If you have never played Bucks Run you will want to add them to your must play list in 2007.”—Bruce Fuller, MIchigan Publinxer Magazine, February 2007.
“I was fortunate enough to play Bucks Run in July of 2006 and let me tell you. . . The one constant - all the extras are maintained at the same high level as the 6,756-yard championship layout. As for the par 72 course, it’s a thrilling collection of gorgeous par-3’s, challenging par-4’s and strategic par-5’s.” –Glen Turk, Midwest Golfing Magazine, 2007 Golf Show Issue.
"Thank you so much for your help in making our outing a successful and more importantly enjoyable time. Please pass along to all the staff my sincere gratitude.

"I would like to thank the entire staff at your facility for a great day of golf! Everyone from the young man that helped us by taking our clubs at the bag drop to the counter guy to the ranger were all extremely professional and totally committed to making sure that we had an enjoyable day on the course. Everyone seemed genuinely committed to my complete satisfaction. It if rare to find this type of customer service and I praise the entire team for this. I wil be back not only because of the beautiful views and stunning course mangement, but moreover because of this incredible dedication to true customer service!" Michael Root, May, 2007.
"While the golf at Bucks Run is on par with courses that charge twice as much for a round. I was especially struck by how well maintained superintendent Jeff Sweet and his grounds crew keep this 300-plus acre facility. The condition of the course is nothing short of impeccable: tee boxes, fairways, greens, rough, woods, flower boxes and ornamental landscaping."
--Randy Prichard, Michigan Golf Magazine Vol. 7, No. 1, 2005. (View the entire article)
"Honestly, if the Two Guys Who Golf could design a golf facility that we would be completely satisfied with and proud of - this would be it!

Without question - Bucks Run is in our books, a top five golf course in the state of Michigan!"

"Outstanding condition, great use of the river and lake in course design, appropriate intervention by the pro to alleviate back up on front nine, and the cool wet towels were a plus on a hot day.

"This was my third year playing at Bucks Run and have enjoyed them all. Your staff is always friendly and professional. The ice cold towel on the middle of the course was a class act and appreciated.
