Tullymore Golf Club

This course was super challenging! If you’re playing from the championship tees it will definitely test all your skills. What made my experience even better was how friendly the staff was. From the cooks straight to the cart girls. Everyone was so welcoming and joyful to talk to. Was worth every penny. I hope my next trip is just as good.

Played in October, the greens were punched but still rolled well. It's a very pretty course with great mounding and tree lined holes. Lots of forced carries off the tee and fairways usually slanted towards the hazards. Quite of few blind shots as well. Fun to play but definitely not a minimalist sort of course and probably not worth the standard rate.

Second most difficult course I played this season but I’m glad I played it. Kind of a strange layout with an extra par 3 and par 5. The front nine has three par-3’s in four holes. My advice is to really prioritize the approach shots and strive for advantageous angles into the green. Greens were very deep and undulating and I’m guessing they were rolling quicker than an 11.5 Greens didn’t hold approach shots well which got annoying. Bunkers didn’t have as much sand as most courses do.

My only complaint is the staff was cold towards us. We were told 4 times by different employees to keep pace of play because they were so busy. On hole 15 we were advised we were 4 minutes behind. 4 minutes behind is not a big deal in my book.

Tullymore has eluded me the past few years even though I played the sister course - St. Ives - twice. I can say that Tullymore is considerably more difficult. The course is very tricked up, with lots of difficult carries, undulating fairways and greens, and an assortment of difficult pin placements. The course was in great shape and I consider it one of the more difficult and yet beautiful courses I have played in Michigan. I highly recommend it.

For a course that bills itself as a premier destination golf location the conditions were rough. Greens were marked up pretty bad and the fairway were rough in spots. This probably was due to the late season but for the price it disappoints. The design gets boring after a while too...all but a few holes had forced carry off the tees. People were very friendly and helpful. Would hesitate to recommend this course as a jewel.

We played 36 holes starting off at sister course St. Ives and finishing the round at Tullymore Golf. Simply put - outstanding golf course. Well maintained. You set the level of challenge depending on the tees you select. A hybrid of blue and white was perfect for our foursome. Beverage cart was well-stocked and kept us properly hydrated the entire round. Water views on the back-9 were stunning. Great layout - a true gem.

Course was in great condition. The clubhouse has a upscale country club feel. Staff was friendly

An interesting and beautiful layout demands thoughtful shotmaking. Manicured bentgrass fairways and smooth greens make this course a delight. Golf cars have latest technology to help with this.

Fun golf course with 5 par 5’s and 5 par 3’s. It is very playable and with 5 sets of tees, it can challenge ANY PLAYER! It was quite wet the day I played it, so the greens were a bit slow for my liking, but they were VERY SMOOTH. I was unaware that this was part of a resort until I arrived here. The driving range is small, the putting green is a bit small, and there is not much of a chipping area to speak of. The layout is a Jim Engh design, and I generally don’t care for his work, but this course was an exception. Although, this course has some of his common design elements (wayward shots are funneled toward the target green or fairway) it’s not too prominent. You will have the opportunity to use every club in the bag, and the carts have GPS. If you are on your way traveling from central MI to northern MI, give this course a try, I think you will really enjoy it.

I was blown away from start to finish, and what I mean by start is even the initial phone call I was treated with such kindness and respect! Without making this long and drawn out Tullymore knocks it out of the park. The best way I could describe it would be if "Pilgrim''s Run somehow got even nicer in every area and moved to Traverse City and that is how you feel as you play Tullymore, IT WAS GOOSEBUMPY! Enjoy and hit em straight because if you get sloppy it can be a long day but if you stay disciplined you can light it up a bit. Only complaint is the greens were basically unplayable because they aerated them and they were just caked in sand so putting was impossible. Would have been nice to know that however we were never told but I also am guessing why it was such a great deal! It didn't take away from my appreciation of this beauty, instead all it did was make me want to come back even faster to see how much better this place could potentially be! ENJOY!

Great condition and course, friendly staff. Pace of play was great. Got 18 hole in under 4 hours.

Nice course played from the whites im a higher handicap and never played this course before. Studio i found the layout nice And challenging for my skill level. Course was in decent condition grass was a little burnt but due to the courses not allowed to be staffed over the past few months im sure the course condition will improve overall id love to play again. And the clubhouse is awesome great merchandise as well

First time playing the course and we were not disappointed. Great course and conditions were excellent. Fun and challenging, would definitely go back.

While moderately challenging to hit fairways most holes have a small preferred landing area that if you miss you may be blocked from the green. The real challenge is the approaches into greens. Most greens are narrow and well guarded by narrow and very deep bunkers. Tullymore is routed through wetland and woods. Tall reeds grow in the wetlands and make the course play more challenging by obstructing views and disturbing depth perception. Tullymore is located in Stanwood, MI and was halfway between Detriot and Traverse City. The course was in immaculate condition and played relatively firm and fast which is surprising for a course with wetlands.

The Courses- the courses at Tullymore (Tullymore and St Ives) were absolutely awesome! The course at Tullymore is very challenging, yet fair. The greens and fairways were in excellent condition, and lets be honest folks that's all that really matters. The course at Stives is more rolling hills and tree lined and that course was fun to play and prob 3 or 4 strokes easier than Tullymore. But overall both courses were in good shape.

With 16 guys we elected to reserve to cottages side by side to sleep the 16, and boy was that a perfect setup. Post round you can sit around drink, play cards, walk outside chip and putt, hit the pool or hot tub...it was just a great setup. Bathrooms were clean and functional, beds were clean, I mean as long as your not some country club snob the accommodations are more than good enough.
