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.

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.

The course is quite narrow as it is laid out on a marsh. It is a beautiful location.

The tres need some work as they are uneven.

Very slow pace.

There were two outings on the course at the same time we were scheduled to play. Course is in rough shape. Back nine was better of the eighteen.

Love the cart paths!

Myth is easily one of my favorite courses that I've experienced that isn't on the high end of costs. Got a deal with Golfnow using the hot deal for $17.00. I was very impressed with the course.

The course is challenging with trees, water, and many other obstacles that can be frustrating. Be sure to bring extra balls! I really enjoyed the challenge and layout of each course. The cart paths between holes are really something else and one of the most different and fun experiences I've had on a golf course.

In addition, there was virtually no waiting on any of the holes, which was a Monday at noon. Really great experience, and suggest that anyone considering trying the Myth definitely make it a place to go!

Good Value

It's sort of a hike to get out here, but the course is good for the money. They've put a lot of work into this course in the short time I've been coming here, and I'm sure those bridged paths are a pain to maintain, but they do a good job. The greens, however, are very slow.

Great Value for Good Play

This course struck me as odd. It's a bit off the beaten track, but a nice atmosphere. Staff was very friendly, and the clubhouse in good order. The layout of the course is pretty strange, and it's mostly built on a swamp, with card bridges going every which way. Yet it lends a unique feel and creates interesting and challenging holes. The tee-boxes were in bad shape, but the fairways and approaches were excellent. The greens were a bit bouncy, but that's weather dependent I suppose. Overall, you can't beat it for the value!

Course is surprisingly tough

The course is difficult you must hit good shots to score, and the greens are difficult but true.

Challenging 6200 Yards

The Myth is only 6200 yards from the back tees but it is a very challenging course. It is in good shape but some tees definitely need work. There are some short par 4s but there are also 4 par 4s over 400 hundred yards. Dog legs etc. make the course play longer than the scorecard reads. The rough isn't over long but it exacts a price. Really try to keep the ball in the fairway. There is a premium on shot placement especially when it comes to shots into greens due to greens that are very undulating. Put the ball in the wrong place and three putts are very possible. Definitely a course that plays easier if you have played it before. I would definitely like to play it again.

Pros and Cons

This course has many pros and cons. If you could live with the cons, then play here.

Pros:
1) Golf course is challenging for all skill levels. It's a good test of golf.
2) This course is the only one around other than Greystone that has an island green par 3. At 100 yards, it gives everybody an opportunity to hit the green and avoid the water.
3) Some holes look fantastic and well designed.

Cons:
1) Course is hard to navigate. Between holes your riding through the forest on bridges that sounded like they were falling apart but in reality they were fine.
2) Since the 13th hole is an island green, and the group behind us was two holes behind, I took a couple pictures of the island green. While I was taking a picture the ranger yells at the top of his voice "HURRY UP YOUR SLOWING DOWN PLAY! YOU CAN'T DO THAT OUT HERE!" And then REFUSED to leave until we finished the hole. He caused me and my playing partner to chunk our shots into the water. His attitude is why I will not be returning. He made me feel like dirt and didn't acknowledge me as a paying customer and I could take a quick picture before I tee off. If you see a ranger, older guy with blonde/grey hair, and seems to be staying in the same place all the time rather than driving his cart, AVOID AT ALL COSTS.
3) There is no drink cart, you have to wait until you reach the clubhouse to buy drinks.

Overall it's the ranger is why I won't be returning. His rude and inconsiderate attitude changed my opinion on the entire course there's better courses in the area that has great staff, and perhaps the ranger won't mind if you take a quick picture before you tee off!
