About
The beautiful setting of Twin Birch Golf Club in Kalkaska features stands of red pine and birch trees lining the fairways and the Boardman River, which winds its way all throughout the course. The golf course is mostly flat with the exception of a few raised greens on the back nine. The greens on the front nine are level with open fronts, inviting players to attach the flags. There are ample landing zones along the tree-lined fairways, making Twin Birch a golf course that will appeal to beginners and high handicappers but there are still challenges in store for the more advanced golfers as well. Some of the doglegs holes can be quite tricky. There are also several strategically placed bunkers lurking along some of the greensides and water comes into play on eight holes.

Great Golf and Brews
The renovations are awesome, you can see how much care has gone into making this an inviting destination for golf and good food. An up north feel with modern amenities, especially the open air patio dining.
Well groomed course
Brought a friend and he was very impressed
Looking forward to playing again soon. Thanks
Little Gem!
We loved this course.,,Staff was friendly and helpful.
Nice job around there
A good place to play golf that is becoming a great place to play golf.
Twin Birch is a good play
Went to Twin Birch because it was 25% the cost of Grand Traverse… and it was worth it! Course is in great shape, only comment is that getting from one hole to the next is sometimes not so clear… but we found our way. Food was great in the grill, they even sell a knock-off Bill Thomas Halo burger with Mayo and olives! The best! Great affordable golf, electric carts, no pressure.
Great golf course.
Staff was friendly and course was is great shape. Golfed there twice over my vacation in Kalkaska. Definitely coming back.
Nice course
The course was in very good condition! The pace of play was slow but expected on the weekend. The course isn't too tough but it does have quite a few dog legs so must hit certain distances/layups or be able to draw/fade some tee shots!
Northern Michigan Gem
I like the course a lot. Tons of challenging holes and the tees, fairways and greens are top notch. Tons of dogleg holes which I enjoy. I’ll be back!
Nice Course
The course was in good shape. A little too expensive for the overall course.
