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.

Lost my sunglasses!

Shot a 79 with 2 doubles, had to let a few single, super fast guys play through, my wife had fun! With lost a few balls but found a lot too. Besides losing my sunglesses in a pile up hole number 15 16, of bad things happen corner. I’d say it was a pretty good place to play for the price. But seriously there were balls flyin over are heads, the lawn mower guy was trimming the tee, I put my sunglasses down on the seat of my cart, then never remember seeing them again.

CART PATHS

The over all course was in pretty good shape and some challenging holes. But if they do not get the cart paths fixed they are going to have a lawsuit on there hands. They are getting worse and worse.

Give it your best shot

Twilight golf. a couple of groups, in front of us should have been playing from the red tees, yes they are for guys too. The course was in good shape. Some greens rolled well, some were furry and bumpy. Tee box 14 was like trying to drive a tee into hard clay.. The course itself: Well, I'm not fond of holes with blind fairways, not knowing what's beyond a large mound blocking ones view. thus forcing a lay up, only to be faced with a long second shot into a par 4. Plus many doglegs, narrow fairways, water and marshland, again forcing layups. I will have to play this course a few times to figure out the shot placement necessary to shoot a decent score on this course. Bring extra water balls. I think, once I figure out this course, it'll be fun.

Nice course

I’ve golfed this course in years past and this seemed to be in the best condition in awhile. I would have given the “course condition” 5 stars but a few of the tee boxes were in rough shape, other then that it was good. Nice job on getting the course in good playing condition.

Went on memorial day

Very challenging for an average golfer. Ball placement and club selection are key. Study the holes before hitting there are streams, ponds and traps everywhere. I recommend this to mid to lower handicap players. Great scenery and conditions are excellent this time of year!

How far is that?

Greeted with negative attitude by person taking our money. No accurate yardage marker on any hole. Greens with gauges and tall cuts. It was my last time there.

Disappointed

On a Wednesday afternoon, it took three hours to play 13 holes. Then the backlog seemed to worsen so at that point, it wasn't worth the waiting, so I quit. In addition, the course has many holes in close proximity to one another. Consequently, several times players from another hole would appear seemingly out of nowhere on the hole you are playing. Some of this happens from time-to-time but, some fellow golfers seemed ignorant to yielding to other players when they miss hit and play in your fairway to hit back to the fairway they were are playing from. Everyone I encountered face-to-face were very friendly so maybe there were a high number of rookies on the course which may have contributed to the slow play as well.

Nice course for the money

Good course for the money, played during the weekday. Course was in good shape, has some hazards to avoid. Greens have too much slope in my opinion. Overall a good time.

Boyd's review

Overall the course was in decent shape, with the exception of quite a few of the tee boxes. The tee boxes were chewed up and some looked like they weren't meant to even be a tee box. The pin placement on the day we played was difficult at best. For average to high handicappers like my son and me, we felt punished for hitting decent shots into the greens. I don't mind a challenge, but whoever decided on the pin placements that day seemed to want to inflict suffering on the players. All I ask is a chance to make a par. The pin placements made that very difficult and that was disappointing.
