Rory Sabbatini Rather, he is almost universally reviled. He was not well-liked prior to a nasty split with his ex-wife, and her revelations about Sabbatini have done further damage to his reputation (a feat few thought possible).

Green fees start from $99 at certain times in midweek, while at weekends expect to pay anyway between $125 and $200 depending on the time of day. Designed by Rees Jones and 2001 PGA championship winner David Toms, the par 72 course plays just over 7,400 yards from the back tees.
With the wind most likely at your back, the longest par 4 on the course, bordering the Paw Paw River to its right , becomes a reasonable task. Hit your drive to the left side of the fairway to stay a good distance from the hazard and provide the best angle into the green.
Tee shots should be placed to the left side of the fairway to stay away from a fairway bunker that is 289 yards to clear. The left side of the fairway also gives you the best angle on your approach shot to a green ...
With the tee perched 60 ft. above the fairway, enjoy the views of Lake Michigan behind you as you look down on this par 5. With bunkers on both sides and wetlands in play for long hitters, an accurate and long tee shot is key to scoring on this hole. A correctly placed layup down the right side of the fairway and short of the cross bunkers will leave you with the best approach to a large, undulating green.
Hit your drive over the circular dune grass bunkers in the middle of the fairway. A good drive will give you a short, yet treacherous approach shot to a green that is guarded by five bunkers around the front three sides of the green. Place your approach shot on the same tier as the pin as the green slopes severely from back to front.
This long par 5 demands a solid tee shot to clear a large bunker that sits 232 yards away. A legitimate 3-shot hole that asks for a well-placed layup shot has a water hazard that extends 150 yards from the green along the right side. The extremely large green (7,224 sq. ft.) is protected by bunkers in the front-right and back-left.
