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 place
Was a really busy day, everyone was really nice but the grumpy ranger driving around the course not saying a word to anyone just staring. But really really well set up course very challenging and the drives between holes are like nothing you've ever seen before with all the wood planks, very cool.
Myth revisited
I just enjoy the course.No easy holes. Only problem is the course is a bit squeezed. Several times we waited because people had hit there balls on our fairway.This is the only problem that I could think of.Lots of hills.One fairway is about 15 yds wide.Accuracy counts more than distance.
Ok course to get out and hit.
Tee boxes need some work. Tee box in 5 is a wreck. But if you're looking to get in 9 after work decent value to work on your game.
Myth Golf Course
Decided to try The Myth after a few friends told me to play there. Thought the course was quite challenging, enjoyed playing hole 13. I recommed bring a few extra balls because if you don't hit it on the fairways, your not going to find your balls. The course was kept up expect for the wooden bridges they have to get to the other holes. They were in bad shape and seemed they were about to collapse at any minute. I played during memorial weekend and had to wait at each hole because it was so packed. Overall, I would go back, seemed to be a good value and a fun challenge!
Reminded me of Cedar Point
About half the course is through swamp area, requiring riding on old wooden bridges for most of the paths through the first nine holes. The bridges were being worked on, but could probably use some investment in making them more permanent. Hold your beer in your hand... Course wasn't too difficult, but a bit narrow at times. If you spray the ball, this might not be the best place for you.
Hit or Myth
I have been to this course before and I heard of the recent vandalism to the carts at this location. However, I wasn't expecting that they would be charging mid-season rates for a course that is in such disrepair. The fairways were burned out in many spots of the course. The irrigation system was not functioning properly. There were excavation holes in nearly all of the fairways. The wooden bridges that you must drive your cart on from hole to hole are in need of serious maintenance. The greens were not manicured and many had week old goose excrement on them. I called the clubhouse while on 16 to let them know that the complete irrigation housing was laying in the middle of the fairway and water was flooding the fairway completely. Water was shooting in the air like a geyser. They told me that it's okay. The irrigation maintenance crew was just doing their annual spring checks. I let them know that this wasn't a check. They were actually flooding their golf course. This golf course has been good in the past, but that is not the case right now...not at all.
Rough
Went Sunday and made the turn around 11:30 and there was no hot dogs or anything but love the course, very challenging
Nice course but it's difficult to get around.
A very nice facility. Friendly staff. Hole are connect by several wood boardwalks that are in dire need of repair!
Challenging & Scenic
The greens are awesome with many undulations, Par3 are long, Par 5's are challenging. Some par 4s are long 400 plus yards. Every hole has water or swamp to deal with from tee to green. One needs to play with strategy. The cart paths are wooden platform, rattling, but didn't bother me as the course fairways and greens are well maintained. This is a great course
The Myth
Played the course about the same time last year. Better shape this time but still needs TLC. Tee boxes are horrible...weeds, mud, uneven. Every ball cleaner smelled like rotten eggs. Some interesting holes but some are rather gimmicky. Not terribly long but you do get the opportunity to play most of your clubs. I agree with a few of the previous reviewers...the yardages on some of the holes don't sync up with map, card, signs. The greens are the most challenging aspect of the course (aside from bouncing up and down riding the "charming" wooden cart paths), good condition but the pin placements the day I played were impossible. I'm a good putter but was punished numerous times for good approach shots with 2 and 3 putts...one 4 because of pin placements and putts barely tapped rolling off the green. The GC must have thought it was Sunday at Augusta. The mark of a good course is playability for all handicaps, challenging but fair if you hit good shots and putt better than a beginner, and making you think, not scratching your head. The Myth has potential but hardly "nothing short of spectacular" as their webpage claims. I would play again and recommend but only at a "real Hot Deal" price.
narrow fairways, super tuff pin placement, very fast greens
Unless you hit every shot straight bring extra balls. The greens are very tuff to judge and the pin placements were as about as difficult as they could be. Normally course plays faster but there was a big outing in front of me which I knew before hand and new I was going to have a long round. Burgers were awesome and reasonably priced and the staff was good.
This course wes very challenging.
The course needed to be updated and better maintained. I had not played in over 10 years and was much better in the past. The current owners have ran the course down and is obviously not putting any money into the course.
bang for your buck!
Definitely a good value for $30! Reminds me a bit of a city course. Some holes seemed to barely fit in, some wasted space in terms of tee boxes. Tee boxes were rough! A bit muddy and grass was too long on the tee box.
The Myth
The Myth is a good course but not excellent. However, average players love this course.
Rough shape
The tee boxes were the worst I have seen there in a long time. You could not get a even stance off tee boxes and the pins were in impossible positions almost comical not unlike a putt putt course.
challenging course.
Narrow fairways and sloping greens make it a challenging course. Still a fun round of golf. Good mix of par 3s, 4s and a few 5s. Definitely get to use your driver a lot on this course. Only complaint would be that the yardage on the score card did not match up with the yardage marked on the signs at the tee boxes.
Great Course, bad trails
The course was in very good conditions based on the dry weather of the past few weeks. They need to replace their wooden pathways to make it great, but for the price, Excellent
Needs some work
Tight course with too many blind shots. Yardages from tees are not accurate. One blind shot the gray tee was moved 125 yards forward on a dog leg blind shot. Yardage showed the tee to green was 277 yds. It was actually 150. It was our 1st time playing the course. I played a driver and was 75 yards too long and a lost ball.
surprises on every hole
Conditions where very good. Better course map would help. Greens are a challenge
