Every hole could be on a post card. The holes are lined with trees, but fairways are wide enough to be fair.

Nice track

Fairways were heavily watered and green, but slightly soft due to excess watering.

Bunkers were well maintained

Greens rolled true and fast.

Northern Michigan Gem

I wanted to leave a bad review so no one would come up and play….the course is well maintained and absolutely gorgeous. Course is tough but playable. Woman’s tee placement were excellent. Staff was super friendly.

Always a great place to play, being late in the season the greens were aerated but still rolled pretty true, we will be back next season 👍
