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.

The myth par 3

It’s a par 3 course so, short quick rounds. Only 9 holes, but for $10 doesn’t get much better for a warm up. I’d like to see some sort of small fairway for some of the longer holes. The greens are challenging as well as some of the tee shots. It’s a par 3 tho, so don’t expect much. Good warm up for the main course tho at the myth

An Honest and Fair Review

I have to say, this course gets way more hate than it deserves.

The Good:

- What a spectacular layout. A few challenging holes, and a few easy holes make the course tough but fair

-Conditions: for a $30 course, you won’t find a course in better shape. The greens were soft, and receptive to well struck shots. The were on a slower side, but we’ve had rain, and with the hilly greens, the course would get nasty if they made it super quick. Fairways were great, mowed, and rewarding to hit. The rough was short and not very punishing, which is standard for public courses.

Bad:

The bridges are alright. They are bumpy, and you have to go a bit slower on them, but it’s far from a deal breaker that some make it out to be. They could use some love.

Teeboxes: this is not a big deal, as it was isolated to a few holes, one being a 120 par 3 that gets a lot of wedge abuse. Maybe one or two others were beat up poorly, but the vast majority were good. They also are very uneven, but you can usually find a flat spot to tee up in.

All in all, a good day. For $30, you won’t play a better course.

Great value

Great course for a great price. The travel between tees is fun and offers well shaded relief from the heat. Very green and well watered course when I went. Challenging fast greens. Great beer selection.

Not Great

The greens weren't in great shape. The cart paths were rickety and somewhat unsafe. There were 2 tee boxes that hadn't been manicured. We hit off dirt. No cart person. Course has some challenging holes. It would be real nice course if they spent some money to fix it up. Only $20 + fees for 9 riding. And yes, you need a cart.

Storm Cancel

I am looking to receive a refund for my round. I paid $16 and some change for this round but it was cancelled due to weather when I was teeing off on the second hole. If you check the weather report for the area, we had a severe thunderstorm warning in effect all day. I would either like for my card to be refunded or for my account to be credited. thank you.

Hodgepodge

fairways and greens in excellent shape, but the white tee boxes some were not mowed in weeks it looks,, had grass and weeds about a foot high.. Also some of the tee boxes did not even let you know what hole you were on when sharing 2 tees for 2 different holes.

Course needs repairs, maintenance

Curb appeal from the road is relatively nice. Arrived and waited 10 minutes in the pro shop for someone to assist. Other customers were walking around trying to find someone to serve them beverages. Course cart paths, bridges, tee boxes and stairs were not the best condition. For the most part greens and fairways well well kept, especially considering the recent heat. Golf carts were clean and appeared sanitized.
