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.

narrow fairways, super tuff pin placement, very fast greens

Unless you hit every shot straight bring extra balls. The greens are very tuff to judge and the pin placements were as about as difficult as they could be. Normally course plays faster but there was a big outing in front of me which I knew before hand and new I was going to have a long round. Burgers were awesome and reasonably priced and the staff was good.

This course wes very challenging.

The course needed to be updated and better maintained. I had not played in over 10 years and was much better in the past. The current owners have ran the course down and is obviously not putting any money into the course.

bang for your buck!

Definitely a good value for $30! Reminds me a bit of a city course. Some holes seemed to barely fit in, some wasted space in terms of tee boxes. Tee boxes were rough! A bit muddy and grass was too long on the tee box.

Rough shape

The tee boxes were the worst I have seen there in a long time. You could not get a even stance off tee boxes and the pins were in impossible positions almost comical not unlike a putt putt course.

challenging course.

Narrow fairways and sloping greens make it a challenging course. Still a fun round of golf. Good mix of par 3s, 4s and a few 5s. Definitely get to use your driver a lot on this course. Only complaint would be that the yardage on the score card did not match up with the yardage marked on the signs at the tee boxes.

Great Course, bad trails

The course was in very good conditions based on the dry weather of the past few weeks. They need to replace their wooden pathways to make it great, but for the price, Excellent

Needs some work

Tight course with too many blind shots. Yardages from tees are not accurate. One blind shot the gray tee was moved 125 yards forward on a dog leg blind shot. Yardage showed the tee to green was 277 yds. It was actually 150. It was our 1st time playing the course. I played a driver and was 75 yards too long and a lost ball.

A fun course

I play this course often, the woods make most tee shots challenging. You don't want to spray the ball off the tee box.

It took 4.5 hours to play 12 holes....

It took 4.5 hours to play 12 holes....and then we decided to walk out. And we were just 2 players.

I have played this course before but this time something was majorly wrong. Not sure if it was the scheduling by the staff or what.

On hole no. 3 had to wait for 35 minutes to tee off.

Marshalls were seen all around but none of these kids helped in increasing the pace of play.

Total waste of time and money on this round.

Fun but tough course

Front nine isn't too bad but the back nine - the last 7 in particular - are very tough...bring extra balls and put the driver away. Greens in pretty good condition although as with most public courses, ball marks are not repaired. A lot of swampy trees and wood cart paths but the rickety cart paths add to the charm of the course. Handicapped seniors should avoid as some tee boxes involve unstable stairs.

Good value

Played 18 with a cart for $28, which is a good rate for the area. The course is in descent condition. The green on #13 desperately needs to be raised. It's a great par 3 protected by water all along the front, but the green is just about at water level and is very water logged. The wood bridges that run between most holes also need to be replaced. They are terribly warped and look on the berg of collapse. The rest of the course is in good condition. It's a challenging course with a good layout.

myth

They were repaveing the path way. Other pathway is like diving Mario cart on wooden boards that go up down, left, and right. Course was good. Had one bad golfer behind us and we were behind someone else, he cut in front of us and skipped a hole. He was rude. Would go back again

Good Value, Decent Course

My buddy and I played this course for the first time on a Sunday morning in early October. Pace of play was excellent, and for the money we got good value. The main complaint I would have is that the teeboxes were in poor condition (could be a result of it simply being the end of the season).

Nice course

Got a very good deal on this course. Forgot it used to be beaver creek. Fairways and greens good. Tee boxes need work badly. Had fun though. You need to put the driver in your bag on a few holes.

Fun and picturesque course

The course is well maintained and features 18 holes that are unique and picturesque. The ride from green to tee on most holes is interesting due to the boardwalks and travel through the woods. I would definitely play it again.
