Review of Garland Swampfire Golf Course
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


Taking a swing at Garland’s Swampfire golf course is an adventure drenched in water hazards, unlike any other. This course, graded A- for its thoughtful design, lives up to its name with water shaping nearly every hole.

Back in 1987, Ron Otto, an intriguing character in his own right, designed Swampfire. Although his family ran Garland, Otto initially carved his path in the garage door industry, even allegedly inventing the insulated version that many use today. After some personal trials, he redirected his focus to Garland, revamping its original courses into what we see now—Swampfire, Monarch, Reflections, and Fountains.

If you didn’t know better, you might assume the Matthews family had a hand in crafting these courses, given their clever use of the land. Swampfire’s terrain is a flat, marshy landscape prettier than its name suggests, with picture-perfect wetlands juxtaposed against towering pines and hardwoods.

The game here isn’t all about muscle; it’s about strategy. If you’re playing from the right tees, precision trumps distance. Otto resisted the urge to make golfers carry vast stretches of water. Instead, you’ll find hazards skirting fairways, crossing gently, or guarding greensides, ensuring every shot counts.

With my trusty Garmin S70, each hole demanded careful consideration—how far to clear a creeping marsh? How close is that green’s edge? What choice will avoid calamity? It’s this kind of decision-making that keeps Swampfire engaging.

Playing at its longest is a stretch of 6,854 yards, yet it feels even longer due to the precision required throughout. Swampfire isn’t about brute force; it’s about dexterity and thought.

Among the layout, the fourth hole left an impression. It starts from a slightly elevated tee, with a small water hazard daring to enter your mind more than your line. Then comes the dogleg left with bunkers stationed to challenge any misjudged swing. Your approach might call for a glide over part of the pond, depending on where you land. And to cap it off, the green’s elevation makes it essential not to miss—believe me, I’ve learned firsthand.

Next, you’ll find a cleverly designed par-three, the fifth. It’s a horseshoe-shaped start with distances varying from 170 to just 100 yards, each demanding strategy. The less water clearance required, the more playful it feels, yet always testing your angles against your skill.

The greens were mostly pristine the day I visited, with only some tees showing wear. If there’s a slight grievance, it’s being pram-bound; Swampfire’s terrain begs to be walked.

Originally penned on March 1, 2025, this review reflects experiences and thoughts gathered during the 2024 season. For more insights into Michigan’s golf landscapes, check the comprehensive reviews at GolfBlogger.

Lastly, the course itself takes you on a scenic tour, each hole offering its own unique test and natural beauty, making Swampfire not just a round of golf, but a full experience to savor.
