About
The Natural at Beaver Creek Resort sits along the western shore of Otsego Lake. As its name implies, the course blends seamlessly into the beautiful surroundings. The challenging layout requires accuracy so don't let the scenery distract you too much. Trees line the meandering fairways and water hazards come into play throughout. Strategically placed bunkers lurk along the greensides as well. The front nine is somewhat tight but the back nine spreads out nicely. Before finishing the front nine, golfers will face one of the course's toughest holes, the par-4 eighth. This tricky risk-reward hole has trouble everywhere, including tall pines, two water hazards, and bunkers. You can play it safe with a long iron or 3-wood down the right but you'll be facing an intimidating and long carry over wetlands.

Steep Hills with Beautiful Layout
We played as a twosome on a beautiful day. The course and greens were in excellent shape. The rolling terrain required careful shot placement and some unexpected rolls or lies on semi-blind shots (our first time here). We older players who rarely hit the ball 200 yards, but had a great time playing this course (even if we didn't score as well as we would have liked). We would recommend it for those wanting a scenic round with some interesting challenges.
Thank you for the great review! We're happy to hear you played on a beautiful day. We hope to see you out there again soon!
Awesome
With the exception of unappreciative players leaving ball-marks Unrepaired the course and staff was amazing. We were very pleased and will be back for sure.

beautiful
The course had beautiful scenery. True northern MI holes with elevations to.make you think
We're glad you enjoyed the scenery the course has to offer!
Challenging Course
Course was pretty challenging but a lot of fun. So if you are new to golf, probably not the course to try. Staff was great and course was in excellent condition.
We're glad you enjoyed the challenge. We hope you come back for more!

Hello, Mike9081867. We are sorry to see that your overall experience was anything short of 5 stars, but we hope you'll give us another try in the near future.
Need better marking
Great course! However, adding 100 yard stacks would help immensely
Picturesque Course
Played four courses in the Gaylord area and this course was excellent. Some challenging holes and would look forward to playing it again. The course was hilly with a lot of different lies. The club house was very nice.
Thank you for the excellent review! We're glad you recommend The Natural at Beaver Creek overall for anyone in the area.
Totally miss managed and outrageous pricing. Hot Dogs were $7.50?????? Talk about price gouging. No rangers on the course to keep play going. Very slow and no help from the course. I would never recommend this course to anyone and am very disappointed that Tree Tops booked this as they are such a class act and a wonderful place to play and stay.
Hot deal

Best of Michigan for a decent price
Teens were well marked good to better condition
