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.

Last time I play here

I get to the course and the kid in pro shop said I can head to first tee and the starter will get us out. We were 25 mins early cause we never been there before. The ranger said you guys are too early and I got tee times before you. He said there is a foursome goes out before you so you may have to wait for them. There tee time passed and no one was there for it. So he finally let us tee off. He didn’t ask if we paid or receipts like most courses do. He just sat there in the shade under a tree and didn’t move.

Think twice about playing here, course is so beat up on fairways and tee boxes, I actually spent $75 for two golfers, so many nicer courses around them to play instead of here.

Not too shabby

Overall it wasn't horrible and was enjoyable.

Tee box's were the worst I've played all year, and

a lot of ball marks on every green unfortunately 😕

Didn't come in contact with any worker's besides Brad in the pro shop, which was very accommodating. Then the starter which just told us to go ahead and play, which we did.

Concerning

Typically, I like this course, it’s challenging and usually in pretty good shape. But my last experience was not so good, at all….T boxes are all beat up, nor could you find flat ground on many of them. Greens were shag carpets and the pace of play was slow, the ranger didn’t seem interested in doing his job. Oh well, I hope this was just an anomaly but I’m afraid it isn’t so buyer beware…

Much Better Out There

Came to the course from a friends recommendation. Wish I didn’t go honestly. The layout is pretty gimmicky taking driver out of your hands on most holes. I heard “FORE” at least 10 times during the round. Tee boxes were awful and greens needed some work too. Fairways were nice and drinks weren’t overpriced so there’s some good. The course is short and not overly challenging aside from tight fairways and blind shots. Wasn’t my favorite experience.

Car hit by ball

My windshield was shattered in the parking lot by a ball while I played. Turned an already overpriced round into a wildly expensive one. Not to mention I was teeing off on dirt a lot of the round.

Ridiculously slow and zero organization

Playing right now. 3 groups on every tee box, took over 2 hours to play 6 holes. Tee boxes are in awful shape.

If you don’t have 6 hours to play, forget it.

Ranger is barely alive and doesn’t seem to care about pace of play, driven past 4 times.

1st Time, but never again

I've always heard the Myth was great. But honestly after my last round, I will not be going back unless it is 50% off. The greens were horrendous. Your ball would bounce and jump off you line from all of the marks on the greens. Fairways were hard and the grass was dry. We got caught in a rainstorm, which was fine, they did have shelter around the 7th hole, but once the rain left the course didn't drain well and there were many mini lakes on the greens and fairways. Even before the rainstorm the green cups were full of water from the night before. I was looking forward to this course, but after this round, I'll be going to other course with better conditions.
