Myth Golf & Banquet - Regulation Course
About
The Myth Golf & Banquet, formerly known as Beaver Creek, tumbles across rolling hills. Situated next to Lake Orion, the golf course sits on protected land that is home to an abundance of wildlife, including sandhill cranes. There is both an 18-hole championship course and a nine-hole par-3 course. In 2007, when the Myth was established, several improvements were made to the championship layout, improving its conditions and making it more challenging. The scenic golf course features boardwalk cart paths that cut through beautiful pine forests. Don't get too distracted by the scenery though because there is plenty to keep you busy including multi-tiered greens and water hazards on almost every hole. The 13th is the golf course's signature hole. This par 3 plays from an elevated tee over water to a generous green, offering a great opportunity for a birdie.

Golfer Reviews
Great staff but terribly managed
They are offering coupons galore and that should tell you they are drumming up a falling business. Maybe their focus has shifted to banquets rather than golf.
Don’t get me wrong-it is beautiful setting and a lot can be done by showing some love to what’s failing.
Tee boxes - there are only 18 of them. Fix the thing. Hard to get a decent foot hold. Should not cost you a lot to repair them. To me the biggest dread is when I drive up to each hole. Where do I stand to tee off?
Greens are great to terrible. No consistency. Some are horrible with brown barren patches. Some are dark green and it appears to have been colored or something.
No presence of rangers to control things. I was doing the turn and suddenly a foursome was squeezed in front of me. At the turn I ran inside to use the bathroom. It was not have been more than 3-4 minutes and bang a foursome is on the tee box. Don’t play there unless they fix this. Having said that I have already played 3 time at this course because my friends wanted to use up the coupons.
Tough course
I enjoyed it - difficult track playing it the first time with quite alot of dog legs and blind shots - want to try it again. Definitely worth the drive north! Tricky greens were very fast!
Busch league operation - potential squandered. 5+ hr round.
Biggest Issues:
-Pace of play is of no priority to them
-Large groups playing together
-Overbooked the course
-Numerous rangers that appear to do nothing for enforcing pace
-Neglected course infrastructure
-Poor signage to direct to ‘far away’ tee boxes
Pros: Staff were nice (anddddd that's the end of my praise)
Pace of play: I was a single on a busy Saturday afternoon. They threw me out by myself which sounds great, but I think they likely did this all day and created more ‘groups’ on the course. This only meant I sat around in my cart waiting alone.
I am not kidding when I said I got to the green of the 5th hole (or so) and I was the 7th cart parked - backed up for the following tee box.
There were at least 3 staff members at the starting area with ranger flags, 1 starter I believe. I never saw a single ranger on the front 9 in my 2hr 45 minutes. I had 3 others in my tee time where they booked my time plus the tee time starting 8 minutes later had 3 more ‘in their group’. This group played as 3 carts in one group of 6 golfers… on a Saturday. I saw another group of at least 6 in another group too.
The atmosphere seemed like it was just about getting groups out anyway they wanted. The younger guys in front of me were enjoying shot gunning beers to kill time waiting around, one of the 6 people groups were shouting on their tee box and hyping themselves up and painfully yelling “quiet in the gallery! Quiet in the gallery!” to try to help one of them focus on their tee shot while I’m on the next hole’s green trying to make a putt for once in my life. Just obnoxious, but they were having fun.
The tee boxes were beat up. As I was admiring the sheer amount of litter along their long wooden bridge through some woods, I saw a chipmunk run to the center of the tips’ tee box and dive into the center that had a hole in it. Tee boxes were generally uneven and sandy.
While this was my first time, I was confused on where to drive to get to the next hole several times and this included using 18Birdies to attempt to navigate my position to the tee box too.
I ended up calling time of death after about 5 hours after I got to the back 9 after maybe 12 holes and realized I skipped 3-4 holes and went up to 17. I was exhausted from waiting, a lack of care for the experience of their golfers, impressively getting lost from hole to hole 3+ times throughout the round and figured I had experienced the course.
If they don’t care about the experience, you don’t need to care about trying this course - at least on the weekends. But if you want to get grouped up with more than 4 golfers in a group, want to focus on drinking and don’t have anywhere to be all day, this may be the course for you.
The Myth in SE Michigan
Challenging course with unforgiving rough. Hitting specific targets essential here. Check out the course book for precise yardage to best targets.
Beautiful nature setting
Beautiful grounds well kept. Friendly ranger that kept the midday groups moving.9th hole a bit difficult to follow, otherwise appreciate the well marked signage.
Up North Feel
Great course with an up north Michigan feel. Pace of play was really slow, lots of waiting for the groups in front.
Terrible Pace of Play
We gave this joint another chance and won’t be going back. The pace of play is horrible and the Ranger does nothing to speed up slow groups. From the second hole on we waited on every hole . Generally there were 3 to 4 groups of players on every hole After 9 holes we quit. Won’t be back!
Fun Course
Tee boxes could use some love. But, otherwise, great value. Unique course with lot of fun holes.
Good course
Played here for the first time in a long time with friends from out of town. It was a nice course, some tough pin positions on slanted greens. Could use some better signage on getting to next hole and on hole 14 with a 90° dogleg left.
