Buick Open

It was one of the greatest times me and my wife have had. Easy parking, shuttle buses, and excellent treatment at the golf course.

Buick Open this year was Awesome! To see Tiger Woods there was great too!

What a great event! I cannot believe Tiger Woods can golf with all the distraction surrounding him. People like to be at the greens to see Woods, but I enjoy watching his drives off the tees.

Awesome golf event that should be retained for next year and subsequent years!!

Well worth the 35.00. Only sport where you can reach out and touch the players for the whole event.

I went to the Buick Open on Friday and it was so enjoyable that my husband and I went again for the final day. It's saddening to know that it is extremely likely that this will be the end of this annual event. The other fans were friendly and fun to chat with, as well as the pro golfers who attended the event. The majority of them signed autographs at the end of their rounds and were extremely pleasant and grateful to the fans. I will never forget Tiger Woods final putt on the 18th green of Warwick Hills, or the insane fun hanging out at the 17th hole. The Buick Open will be greatly missed.

The course was beautiful, the golf was amazing, the energy was electric. The day was filled with fun!

We parked at a school and took a shuttle. The $$ went to the school and it made it very easy to get to the golf course. We had Clubhouse passes and came over 3 days. It was nice to have a combination of being there and then watching on TV, too. The weather and course were like a fairy tale - gorgeous! The Pro Am Day was our favorite as we were so close to Tiger and John Daly. Watched them practice putting, etc. We didn't bring a camera, though (NO CAMERAS OR CELL PHONES) was printed on our tickets, so I was disappointed I didn't get any pictures - it would have been easy. We'll know next time! My husband bought a pair of John Daly pants in the gift shop and wore them to a golf outing yesterday. He was a big hit!

I have gone to Buick for the past 4 years but this year was the best one yet!!! Yes seeing Tiger was great but what made event was the people, workers and spectators!!!

The event was incredible. The only down side to entire event is that it is the last Bruick Open. That is unfortunate.

OUtstanding event, lots of fun, perfect weather & al! Hoping that we can renew GM sponsorship or find new sponsor to maintain event in Michigan!

The picture on my refrigerator shows two retired men grinning from ear to ear, wearing their passes and arm bands. The nine hours at the course went by in a flash as they stratigized which hole to view and where to walk to next. The parking was close. The facilities were clean and quiet. Good friends who see each other only annually were able to share the commonality of their love of a game they once played well. Now they play concentrating on the beauty of the course and the occasional good hit that reminds them of their younger days. There is a bit of Tiger in these old cool cats smiling from the photo souvenier photo taken at the Buick Open.

I was looking in the 18 holes.The position of the pin was surrounded by three bunker and was very worth seeing.I was impressed by the play of the professional player. I could watch the play of Tiger Woods directly for the first time, and it was unforgettable the day.

Beautiful weather, great event. Well planned. Lots of anticipation and speculation. #17 was very entertaining. Tiger brought it all home. Couldn't ask for a better venue!

Course was amazing along with the fans. Couldnt ask for a better weekend!

I will never forget following David Duval,,and then trying to stay with Tiger. The watching areas around some of the greens, (especially 18) were slopped reverse, which made it hard to see anything. I think we could have used a few more restrooms. But we got by.

The Buick Open was great, all the volunteers were polite and helpful. The course was perfect. Tiger was amazing.

For what is most likely the last Buick Open, the atmosphere at the tournament was exciting. The fans let the players know how much they appreciate them coming and many of the players also displayed their appreciation to the fans. Woody Austin clapped towards the crowd at the 17th hole. Tiger Woods threw his golf balls into the stands at 17 and 18 as a sign of appreciation. That is unheard of from him. It was an amazing event!

Great chance to see Tiger up close and personal. Wonderful course. Great fans. Hope this doesn't move.

The Buick Open has by far one of the most electric atmospheres in all of golf. It was a great experience going to the tournament.

This was my second Buick Open, I attend last year and I had a fun! But because it rained that weekend it wasn't as fun as I thought it would be plus Tiger Woods couldn't play because he had surgery on his knee. Because Tiger decided to play in this year's Buick Open I decided to go, but man let me tell you watching Tiger was a blast but the atmosphere was fun and of course CRAZY fun on hole 17!!! If this is truly the last Buick Open at Warwick Hills, the tournament will be missed. Let's hope that if another sponsor picks up the tournament and decides to keep it at Warwick Hills and will maintain and encourage the fun atmosphere that currently exist!!!

Very well organized. Alot of fun. Cergtainly hope they will find a sponsor for next year so there is another one. I think Tiger should sponsor it!

THIS WAS MY FIRST BUICK OPEN AND I AM SO DISAPPOINTED THAT IT WILL PROBABLY BE MY LAST, SINCE BUICK HAS PULLED OUT IT'S SPONSORSHIP. WE HAD A GREAT TIME, ESPECIALLY AT THE WINE TENT ON THE 17TH HOLE!!! A GREAT DAY FOR WEATHER, PEOPLE AND TIGER.

I had a great time and got to see Tiger Woods play in person for the first time and experience the madness at the 17th hole. This is a great event for all of us who live in the area and all golf fans. Something must be done to find a new sponsor and keep this tournament going for years to come. Thank you Buick and Warwick Hills for 51 years of great memories.

This was my 4th Buick Open tournament. I loved being there and watching Tiger but the field was not as great as in past years. The weather was perfect but needed more bleachers around the 18th hole. Had to stand most of the time. Really enjoyed being there as I love to golf and love watching the sport

I had a good time! I wish I would have upgraded my ticket package to see more! However, I definitely enjoyed myself! and I got to see TIGER WOODS!

Great day, Tiger won. Got to get pretty close to a lot of the action. Wish Duval would have been able to have a better round.

Nobody does golf like Warwick Hills, people of Grand Blanc, and the one and only Tiger Woods. What I witnessed was similar to how my Grandfather use to recall seeing Babe Ruth play the Detroit Tigers. I will tell this story for years to come. It is a real shame it is all coming to a bitter sweet end. But I, my son, and good friends were there to witness the very last time Tiger will grace our presence. He is the one and only three time Open winner - now, no one will ever get the chance to duplicate what the 69 PGA tour champion accomplished Sunday afternoon. Tiger Woods played amazing golf, and what was more special, he played almost as if for us, knowing the people of Michigan were losing this amazing tournament lovingly put on for 51 years. The great one even told us, the die-hard golf fans, that we were the best he had ever had the pleasure of playing for. And I got to see it all! No other sports event will ever come close to touching this one, not even if the Lions win the Super Bowl some day. Thanks Tiger!

If you love to golf, this is an event you can not miss.

GREAT EXPERIENCE FOR ALL GOLFERS AND NON-GOLFERS. LITTLE DISAPPOINTED WITH SOME PGA GOLFERS ETIQUETTE(SLAMMING CLUBS ON GROUND AND NOT EKNOWLEDING KIDS, NO NAMES MENTIONED) BECAUSE OF ALL THE YOUNG JUNIOR GOLF FANS WATCHING INCLUDING MY 2 DAUGHTERS(9 AND 11) ASKING ME THE QUESTIONS WHY DID HE DO THAT AND SAYING THAT'S NOT HOW YOUR SUPPOSE TO ACT. SOME NAMES TOO MENTION ARE JIM FURYK, JASON GORE AND DAVID DUVAL STOPPING TO SIGN FANS ITEMS INBETWEEN HOLES, NOW THAT'S PART OF HOW YOU BECOME A GREAT PLAYER, ALONG WITH SOME OF THE UP COMMING PLAYERS ALSO THAT THE KIDS DID NOT EVEN KNOW BUT WERE SO DELIGHTED TO HAVE THEM SIGN THERE HATS.

What an extreme honor to be amongst some of the best athletes in the field of golf! Golfers and fans alike paid respect to the event, the community and to each other. This is one of those events that will long be remembered and I am honored to have had the opportunity to be part of it!

I brought two of my kids and when we arrived received VIP passes to the Buick area and that was awesome. We received photos in front of the 17th hole, sleeve of balls and got a perfect seat viewing the 17th hole...Great time, Great event in Grand Blanc...it will be sad to see it leave us.

This event was soooooooo much fun. The Buick Open needs to stay in Grand Blanc, MI. We had such a good time my sons went back on the weekend. Great job, Warwick Hills! Very well run.

As usual a great tournament.I hope it is not the last.

This was my first PGA Tour Event. My Father turned 60 in July, and I wanted to get him something memorable. Since he has watched the PGA Tour for many years on TV, we decided to get him a chance to see it up close. It was AWESOME. We were sitting on the 18th green during the final 3 hrs., and it was one of the most memorable moments.

An awesome event! The viewing for spectators and the set-up of the course is top-notch. Plrase don't lose thiws event

I was impressed by all of the players but most especially found watching Tiger and Bob Seger fantastic! I wish that Ticketmaster had been more specific about camera limitations. It was my understanding that cameras were prohibited when they were actually permitted during the practice rounds!

The entire property was beautiful! The event was very well organized and the shuttles were amazingly on time. My only problem was with the food. The hamburgers had no taste and were dry and hard as a hockey puck.

Great event from start to finish. Hopefully someone else will step-up to sponsor next year.

Please get rid of the bleachers at the 17th hole. They are too disruptive.

If you weren't there to see Tiger you had great accessability to every other golfer on any tee.

I went on the friday and watched Tiger Woods play holes 10 thru 18 as well as a few on the front 9. I saw his birdie-birdie-eagle-birdie-birdie streak and had a front row view when his eagle chip on 12 flew in! He teed off early in the morning, so it was easier to watch him as there are less spectators in the morning. On his way to the 10th tee, he walked right by me, and on his way to the 15th, he actually said "hey" to me!! Also, i watched Danny Lee and met his manager. Danny also gave me his golf ball too! My friend and i also visited the lacrosse landing and received free golf balls, a photo of us, and a pro swing review. Overall it was a very memorable and exciting event. It's too bad this tournament is in jeopardy for next year. If it is the last one, i'm glad i went and what a way to go out!

I want to ask the organizers of the Buick Open. Why not post signs at the parking lot describing all restricted items?! That would have saved a lot of people the hassle of checking items before entering the event. As for myself... I got into the entry line only to be verbally 'dressed-down' by the security officer for -- (gasp) carrying a satchel bag! Instead of requesting me (and my guests) to check our items, he just took it off of me and held it. As I entered the event the bag was just sitting on the ground next to the entry line. (not the image of secure) Thankfully it was checked and no items were missing. But I ask, why was this 'drama' necessary? It made for a stressful beginning to what should have been a relaxing day. I was entertaining guests from Japan and the same situation happened to them. I can respect the rules and complied. But it would have been SO much simpler if the signs (explaining Restricted items) would have been posted at the bus pick-up point at the public parking lot.

This was the first Buick Open I have ever been to and it was amazing! There is not another course where fans can get so close to the golfers. I would hate to not be able to go again. This area deserves to have them back whether Gm be a sponser or someone else pick it up. If the Open is back then I will be back. Next time I would go for more than just the one day.

This was my first Buick Open and unfortunately my last. I spent all day Saturday sitting in the stands at the 17th green. What an experience. Tiger's 33 foot putt was amazing. I understand why Buick has to stop sponsoring the tournament, but it is a shame the Grand Blanc area is going to lose this event. The amount of good it does for the community is tremendous. We parked each day at Grand Blanc High School. The funds raised for their school I know is greatly needed. The Boy Scouts recycling cans and bottles I know helps their programing. Maybe some company will step up to the plate and sponsor the tournament for next year. We can only hope. If that happens, this won't be my last tournament at Warwick Hills. Thanks Buick for over 50 years of great memories!

The access to the players, greens, tee boxes and fairways was excellent. Able to get very close to players including Tiger Woods. The crowd was excited and the grounds were immaculate. An expereince we will not forget, rates as one of the best sports experiences I have had.

The weather was great first off, all of the fans were amazing for the event. Watching Tiger Woods was just unbelievable as the crowd was just crazy! Also, there were many additions to the course for fans that made the day an unforgettable one!

I wish that GM would keep this event. This event gets better & better every year! The players are outstanding & put on a great show! Let's keep going forward with this event GM.

We went on Thursday and Friday. On Thursday we watched Tiger at the putting practice area and were within 5 feet of him. It was so cool to see Steve Williams, his caddie, too. We also saw alot of other players we love.

It was a perfect day to watch the tournament. Concesssion stands were readily available, and all the staff at this event were very pleasant. Had a great time!

Buick club house was not worth the extra price for admission. Just a way for the sponsers to earn additional money. Service was slow and waitress were indifferent. I thought we would get a good view of the first hole and the putting practice range but there were so many people to block the view. We will save our money if there is another Open..

What a well orchestrated event. From the parking to admissions to concessions...everything was so smooth. It was a beautiful day to be outside watching golf. My husband and I brought our three boys. They loved it and wanted to play golf later that night after being inspired by the pros.

Great day, great venune. Too bad it might be last one. Parked at Grand Blanc high school and great set up. Too bad High School might lose this revenue.

The Buick Open was a grand event! Getting in and out of the event was a non-event and much appreciated. The grounds were immaculate and the course in perfect shape. We were able to go where we wanted to go although we did kind of avoid the huge crowd around Tiger most of the time. When we wanted to see Tiger we positioned ourselves ahead of time and had no problem seeing him. The facilities (restrooms) were very well maintained and there were plenty of them (thank you!). It was a thoroughly enjoyable day and I've been telling everyone how great it was! Thank you!!!

Tickets only cost $15 a piece and I got to see some fantastic shots, and perhaps the greatest golfer ever -- Tiger Woods. I went in 2008 too, and even without Tiger it was a fun time. I think next year I may go on Saturday though instead of Sunday so the crowds are not so large. The best thing about being at a live golf tournament is getting close to the greens in order to see the approach shots and good wedge/putting play. I expect it to be easier to get close to the green on Saturday.

It was good to be back at the Buick Open at Warwick Hills. The parking is set up well, the services and facilities is adequate and the environment is friendly. It is very nice to have an opportunity to see the PGA Pros in their environment. I would definitely go again, if its offered.

I really enjoyed watching the pros play in person. It is amazing how far they can hit the ball. You just don't get the same effect on TV. My recommendation is you find a hole and stay there to watch, as the crowd will follow Tiger, so if you want to see him you need to be ahead of the crowd and wait.

Parking was great and getting shuttle was easy. The golf course was truly great...so sorry that the tournament won't be there anymore. I think the group of fans/staff/volunteers was superior...politeness and everyone appeared to be "in it" no matter who was on the green. The concession bucks were great as we only had to pay another $3 for a nice picnic lunch.

WHAT MORE COULD YOU ASK FOR WONDERFUL WHETHER,GREAT PEOPLE,WELL DONE, AND WAS ABLE TO SEE TIGER WOODS WIN FOR MY FIRST TIME.

Attending the Buick Open in person provides you with close access to their event. It was great to watch Tiger Woods tee off from only ten feet away! There were also lots of nice extra attractions, such as getting my golf swing analyized for free! the Clubhouse pass also provides access to good restaurants and the silent auction. The parking and shuttle bus service ran flawlessly and I can not find anything at all to complain about!

PGA... Do NOT let this event leave. We have the best fans. Hole 17 rocks.

This is the 5th year of attending the Buick Open, and as usual it was great from start to finish. We parked at the high school for $10. This price includes an air-conditioned motor coach ride to and from the venue. They drop you off at the front gate and you could walk right in\u2026except they only had 1 security person. When you walk in, the practice driving range is right there and it is so cool to watch the players practice with their coaches. Then you can watch them on the practice green, also very neat. When you get on the coarse you can stand so close to players as they hit their shots. You really get a good feeling for how talented these players are! This event will be greatly missed!

Perhaps the last Buick Open. Could it have been more dramatic? Possibly, yes. But then, they can't all be gems. Tiger did not disappoint, nor did the next batch of young guns. It's all good for the game. I hope the venue continues (good for Buick, GM, and Michigan).

This was my first time at a PGA Tour event! It was really great! I wish I had been given more information about LaCrosse Landing. There were so many people following Tiger but it was exciting. We sat in the bleachers at #17 and that was a lot of fun watching all the players come through, especially when Tiger sank a long putt on that hole! I would definitely go again.

For a duffer, like me, it is so much fun to see golf played in a professional way. It is also heartening to see the pros make the same mistake that I might make (just not so many as I would make!) When you watch golf on TV they only show you the great shots so you start to believe that the pros only make great shots or great putts. Watching golf live you get the true sense that one, everybody struggles at this game and two, we all need to practice more if weexpect to play better. I t is sad to hear that the Buick Open will be no more. We understand as corporate costs must be cut in order for an auto company to survive. But, having attended this event for many years I can honestly say that for the fans on site and for the pros in the field - it will be missed.
