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.

3.6/10 Golf Course

Played 18 holes at the Myth on Saturday, 9/20 and it was arguably the worst conditions I’ve played all year in Northeast Metro Detroit. The greens, fairways, and tee boxes looked dejected, and for a course that is very tight/difficult to begin with, the condition of the course made it really unenjoyable.

Electrical wires exposed in the middle of the fairway, nails sticking out everywhere from the wooden cart paths, dirt tee boxes… it was bad, and paying $60/man felt wrong.

Side note: The attitude from the guy in the clubhouse about providing my DRIVERS LICENSE NUMBER to rent a golf cart was also not appreciated.

I’d find somewhere else to play!

Terrible pace of play

Over booked. 3.5 hours for 9 holes. Tee boxes were sand. They apparently don't have grass seed. Go down the road and spend a little more you will be happier.

Illegal Pin Placement

To start I’ll say I’m a 15.9 handicap golfer so I’m good not great at golf. The course is very narrow but that has nothing to do with my low rating. I came on a Friday afternoon and there were multiple pins placed on hills that made it impossible to keep the ball anywhere near the pin. Hole 5 had it placed in a spot where if you miss the ball rolls completely off the green down a big hill into just dirt about 75 feet from the pin (the ball would actually roll backwards even if you putted from the low side). If the pins were placed in legal spots and had actual flat areas, this course would be solid, just difficult to score on.

A challenging and rewarding course

I'm still fairly new to playing golf, so I was very surprised at how hard this course is compared to the course next to my house. Lots of really fun par 3s with good hazards. Next time I come back, I'm bringing a bunch of used/refurbished balls, I ended up killing over 20 balls, but that's mostly because I won't get off the tee till I make one in bounds. Pro shop prices are incredibly fair, had to buy some balls at the turn, but they were 30 for 2 dozen so it wasn't that bad.

I loved my time at the course, but I'm definitely going to spend a lot more time at the range improving my shot accuracy, before coming back though

This place is overrated and overpriced.

Very narrow course packed with too many people being let on overlapping eachother. Played through hole 15 and left as my round was approaching 5 hours at that point. Was waiting for 2-3 groups at each hole even though my pace was pretty quick there was no chance of playing through. There were multiple rangers on duty even at the first hole but they just kept piling everyone up. Not fun. Would not recommend coming here unless you got a steep discount. This course being anywhere above average is the Myth they are referring too it seems.

Poor maintenance

Course layout was nice. Unfortunately, the tee boxes were mostly mounds of dirt. The greens had patches of grass missing in scattered spots. Would have paid more like $40 for 18 as opposed to $60.

Hated everything about this course.

Played here for the first time the other day and will never go back. My round started after 8am and they had a maintenance guy cutting the greens on almost every hole we played, which held up play significantly. The tee boxes were in such bad shape that on many holes, it is basically just dirt and you hope for a reasonably level stance (which wasn't the case on some holes). Fairways and greens were in better shape than the tee boxes, but still not great. Overall, even if the course was better maintained, the layout is not fun to play. Tight fairways, unfairly (almost comically) sloped greens and a number of holes where you are forced to hit certain tee shots. For example, I hit a 7 or 8 iron on half of the par 4s and 5s because there was a 90 degree dog leg or something similar. All around it was just a bad experience.

Go to Copper Hills Instead

Very slow pace of play, 3 hours for 8 holes. Course condition needs lots of work.

BUYER BEWARE!

Do not waste your money!

Tee boxes were in poor condition, greens were poor as well with large patches missing.

Pace of play was awful with at one point there was 4 different groups lined up at a home waiting. Nearly 3 hours for 9 holes

Maple lanes has an extremely poor reputation and I have played there and this course was not much better.

Do not waste your money for $60 this place was not worth it, will not be playing here again and do not recommend it to others.

Worst conditions ever

Honestly, they should pay YOU to play this course. Not charge $60. Where is that money going? Not back in to the course that is. This course isn’t worth the gas money to drive there. The “tee boxes” are mounds of dirt that almost seem intentional to not have somewhere flat to tee off. I’ve never spent more time looking for somewhere to place my tee, just to find the equivalent of cement in the dirt. So bring a hammer to get your tee in the ground. I seriously cannot recommend against this course more. Go find your nearest construction site and hit a couple balls around there instead.
