I have only played a handful of courses in Michigan, but I'm surprised that Red Run doesn't get a little more attention. Yes, the site is flat and some tree removal would be nice, but I thought the bunkering and the green complexes were good. One thing I especially like is the number of bunkers that transition directly from fairway to bunker with no ring of rough separating them.
When did you last play Red Run? In early 2016, the club retained Bruce Hepner. Under Bruce's guidance, RR has expanded playing corridors, adjusted fairway lines, expanded fringes/greens, created some interesting run-off areas and removed 100+ trees. The golf course will look and play much different next spring.
RR is a solid golf course on an unspectacular piece of land that is located in an ideal location. The green complexes make the place ~ #1, #2, #3, #5, #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #16, #17 and #18 are tremendous and will be even better expanded. Look for a course tour in early 2017!
