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.

Hole 13, fun par 3 Photo submitted by Tait2dn on 05/09/2013
Disappointed
On a Wednesday afternoon, it took three hours to play 13 holes. Then the backlog seemed to worsen so at that point, it wasn't worth the waiting, so I quit. In addition, the course has many holes in close proximity to one another. Consequently, several times players from another hole would appear seemingly out of nowhere on the hole you are playing. Some of this happens from time-to-time but, some fellow golfers seemed ignorant to yielding to other players when they miss hit and play in your fairway to hit back to the fairway they were are playing from. Everyone I encountered face-to-face were very friendly so maybe there were a high number of rookies on the course which may have contributed to the slow play as well.
Nice course for the money
Good course for the money, played during the weekday. Course was in good shape, has some hazards to avoid. Greens have too much slope in my opinion. Overall a good time.
Boyd's review
Overall the course was in decent shape, with the exception of quite a few of the tee boxes. The tee boxes were chewed up and some looked like they weren't meant to even be a tee box. The pin placement on the day we played was difficult at best. For average to high handicappers like my son and me, we felt punished for hitting decent shots into the greens. I don't mind a challenge, but whoever decided on the pin placements that day seemed to want to inflict suffering on the players. All I ask is a chance to make a par. The pin placements made that very difficult and that was disappointing.
unique golf course
Different kind of course, lots of wooden bridge paths,
huge moguls, nice greens, not a walker
It's what I'd expect for a par 3 course
The Little Myth par 3 course was good practice for that short, within 150 yards of the green part of your game. Since it's a par 3 course, you really can't put too much variation on the concept of having to get on the green from the tee box. Most of the holes were very short (120 or less). The longest club I used out of the bag was a 9 iron. There are some interesting holes with either a short lane to make your ball go through, some obstruction with trees, a change in elevation, or a water hazard or large pit you have to try to navigate.
The course was kept up just fine. It's seen its share of use but it was good condition. If you come to a par 3 course thinking you're going to see country club conditions you need to set your expectations a lot lower. They also use this course for foot golf, so there are the large cups on each hole for that, and you may be mixed in with groups playing that instead of golfing (In my experience foot golfers aren't really aware of traditional golf etiquette).
I booked the round on a hot deal 20 minutes before the scheduled tee time. When I went to check in, I was in the computer and everything but the gentleman at the counter seemed confused. He also inquired how much I paid and seemed kind of annoyed over the whole thing. Not at me, but at the circumstances, I guess. He was very patient with me and answered all my questions.
I was sort of speed playing, so I had to play through the same group of people twice (did 18 on the 9 hole course). First guy was a guy teaching two young kids to play. He was very annoyed with me when I came around the second time and was venting about how they "let adults play on the kid course." It's a par 3 course, not mini golf and I paid to play it just the same. The other group was a single guy taking his time on every hole playing approximately 2 dozen balls. He was super chill and very apologetic for getting in his way. That guy was a good guy.
Overall, I recommend this course if you want to work on your "approach" shots. You're probably not going to use anything other than the short irons and the putter, so if you're looking for something a little more challenging, I'd suggest trying the actual main myth course instead.
Myth
The Myth is a fun course. It's not a long ballers or a sprayers paradise. You can, and probably will, play every club in the bag. If you are accurate off the tee with your driver there are some holes you can really take advantage of. GolfNow prices for this course are a good value.
Vargo course
I wasn't impressed with the course. I kept thinking that it could be better while I was playing. Tons of old wood bridges that are extremely bumpy and hurt your back. When I looked it up after and saw that it was a Vargo course, everything made sense. I've played Chandler park and rackham and they all have the same feeling of under managed.
Very nice course
I'm a new golfer so it was challenging for me. My husband really liked the course we will definitely golf there again.
Great course, esspecially for the price
I've played this course 15-20 times over the past 3-4 seasons. Pace is normally 4 hours during the week, 4 1/2 hours on the weekends. It is important to call the clubhouse during the week to know if they have any outings scheduled, otherwise you could get stuck behind one and you're looking at a 5+ hour round. Course is well kept, with usual clubhouse amenities, and usually friendly staff. Would recommend for the $15-$30 prices found on golf now. I usually take beginners here because the course is usually less crowded than surrounding courses.
Unique
Played here 10 years ago and was extremely disappointed with conditions. I was pleasantly surprised given the vastly improved greens and fairways now. They were top notch. The layout is a bit quirky with doglegs and hazards but a fun challenge. Lots of bumpy cart travel on boardwalks over marshland.
