The Myth Golf & Banquet used to be known as Beaver Creek before a major renovation in 2007. The former course was transformed into a scenic 18-hole championship golf course and a nine-hole, par-3 course. The courses were redone from the tees to the greens, one major improvement was the removal of all artificial tees. The 18-hole golf course has a traditional but challenging design that is still playable for all skill levels. The short course offers great practice for beginners and it's gentle enough for juniors. It's a good layout for families to play, but more advanced players can also enjoy a fast, casual round of practice. The Myth has a scenic location adjacent to Lake Orion, it sits on protected land that provides a home to a variety of wildlife. Sandhill cranes can often be seen throughout the golf course.

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.

Very slow pace of play

Nice course and cool layout, but they heavily over book. They allowed a 6 sum that only came with 2 sets of clubs to tee off in front of us even though 2 of them shared the same tee time we booked. Every time I play here it is a 5 to 6 hour round. Not worth it imo

Good but so slow

The course was very good layout wise, the front 9 was very beautiful, the back nine didn’t seem to be as well kept. The pace of play was horrible, the 4 man group in front of us was taking their sweet old time and took a breakfast ball like every hole. When asked if we could play through since we were a two some they said “h*llno we ain’t waiting for you two” the proceeded to snap hook his drive into the trees. 18 holes took us 6 hours and 12 minutes. We tried speaking to the ranger when we saw him but he drove off talked to them but nothing happened.

Tight, forest design not for me

Basically no rough on this course, just narrow fairways carved out of very dense woods. Every shot not on fairway is a lost ball. Greens are severely sloped and very challenging. Interesting wood cart paths through forest. Nice scenery and sculpted landscape, but very tough to score well, and lost balls make it very frustrating. With all the other choices in the area, we won't be back.

Great value

The course is challenging and will make you pull different clubs besides your driver on some holes. We had a wedding cheering us on at 13 which added and extra star in the review. Worth every penny we will be back soon

If you’re ok with a 6 hour round, check it out

Really like this track, but be warned that you will be waiting 15-20 minutes at each tee box. We averaged just short of an hour per three holes. Made the turn at 3 hrs 10 minutes. Finished at 6 hours.

Poorly maintained.

Uneven tee boxes, swampy fairways, gimmicky holes, and bumpy greens. Starter was 20 minutes behind for our tee time.
