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.

Poorly maintained.

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

First Time Playing

We understand that the pace of play may be delayed on a sunny Sunday afternoon in May however, there is not excuse for teeing off 40 minutes after our tee time. Especially when we were ready waiting near the box 20 minutes before our tee time. In conversations with others standing around, we determined that there were 6 people with the same tee time as us. We had fun playing this course but seems like there is some disorganization with booking

The Myth

Drove down to the myth for a hot deal. The day was a little rainy, so the course was empty and I just played at the pace I wanted to. Of course it’s not always going to be that way but that’s not what I’m reviewing. It’s not a long course so you’ll have to keep your driver in your bag for a lot of the round. The greens will challenge you for sure. They did some work since last year and rebuilding some of the pathways through the trees that used to make it sound like there was a gun range nearby. I like this course and will be back.

Good not great

Course is fine enough for what the greens fees are, but boy oh boy you’ve got everyone piled up on top of each other when it comes to tee times. Played one hole and then waited behind three groups every hole after that. Ended up grouping up with two guys in front of me and really took our time and still had to wait for two groups in front of us. Shrink the game.

The Myth

Good name for this track. A terrible layout, THERE are far too many "Blind Shots" that cause a log jam. We quit after 12 holes and 3.5 hours of waiting on every hole. The Mythe is just that, something that is not as it should or could be.

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!
