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.

Beautiful Course
Try to get at least one round when we spend our week at Shanty Creek. The course is pathetically appealing and offer a fair challenge. The new club house is fantastic.
Still a Favorite
I just reviewed this course. I really enjoy playing it. The only problem was a couple that did not let me play through. So, I skipped that hole and went ahead when the next duo let me play through. I like to play fast.
I should also mention the restaurant. I had a fabulous cheeseburger at a very reasonable price. The service was friendly.
fabulous golf
I played here a lot two years ago when the new building was under construction. I was gone often last year and didn't play. I am so favorably impressed by this course. The greens are flawless and the fairways almost perfect. Two holes were golf ball gobblers, but I had not played in a year. This course is also very beautiful. The birds are singing as you travel the course. The paths were a bit rough, with debris. What you also notice is the maintenance staff all around keeping the course tiptop. This is still favorite place to play, even with the 45 minutes each way.
Great course. Will be back.
