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.

Greens are challenge!

Course was not to be judged by scorecard. Longest 6,300 yd course I ever played! Greens were the toughfest I can remember. Noticed from dew that greens were not cut that morning. We did not complain long. Can't see even staying on some of these greens if slick! Many were like they erupted out of the ground! Very challenging and a great course for the price.

Very nice course

The place is easily accessible. The club house is very nice and clean. The staff is cordial and friendly. The fairways and Ts are well maintained. The cart paths are clean and well maintained, Directions for the next holes are clearly marked and easy to find. There are several ponds and brushes which can be challenging.

Beautiful course with sneaky challenges.

My wife and I are very casual golfers, so this was a pretty challenging course for us. It is beautiful and pretty well maintained. The fairways are very nice and the rough can be challenging. We enjoyed the Par 3 hole that is on a peninsula, that was challenging, and the par 5's were fun, too. The staff was great and we played at a pace that was comfortable for us, with a foursome in front of us and a couple behind us. We had a great time and would recommend this course to others.

Challenging, but fun course

Pin placements are a bit tricky, but overall a short, enjoyable course.

Much better than what this course was 5-10 years ago. For the money, one of the better plays in the area.

Good Par 3 Course

Good Par 3 course to practice wedge shots and putting - in fair shape - hole lengths from 90 yards to 170 yards - lots of young kids can make pace very slow (be patient) - walk-up green fee was only $7, didn't really need to use Golf-Now (fees made it more expensive).

Nice course ruined by slow play

The course itself was nice. The fairways and greens were in good condition, and I found the layout to be challenging, yet very fair. Also, the course is set back in the woods with plenty of wildlife around, giving it the feel of an up north course. A number of the tee boxes were in rough shape. One of them didn't even have grass on it. It was entirely dirt. The biggest problem with the course was pace of play. My wife and I waited 10 minutes on many of the tee boxes. It took over 3 hours to golf 9 holes. That is unacceptable.

bad course with great greens

this course is in need of major maintenance, some tee boxes are only sand, the cart path is like an old fashioned roller coaster & bug bites are guaranteed, but the greens are fantastic.
front nine is more difficult than the back, but either nine is not very long.
my tee time was the deal of the day & i also used the FBBOGO13 code to get 50% off, so it is hard to complain for $11 for 18 with a cart.

Very challenging for novice player

Course is laid out kind of strange. It took me quit a while to find some holes the first time I played. Fairways are narrow, greens are somewhat small. The travel from hole to hole, in some cases, is on a board walk that goes thru wet lands.

Fun but tight

The course was in ok shape. Some of the tee boxes were little more than a mud patch. The cart paths can be a little scary especially when wet. Greens were in pretty good shape. Really tight in some spots but fun.

Won't book here again.

I did not know that "Little Myth" meant executive par 3 course and only 9 holes. By not playing this course before, I didn't know that was what "Little" meant. Was very disappointed when I got to the course.

Worth every penny

For only $17 you cant beat it. Course was in overall good shape. Greens were great, although very undulating and pin placements were on some holes ridiculous. Tee boxes were the glaring issue. They definitely need to work on those but overall very impressed.

No ranger...left EARLY!

After playing for 4.5+ hours we finally arrived at the 13th tee box where approximately 5 groups were waiting to tee off. No ranger and too many twosomes that they didn't pair up! Not sure I would play here again. Pretty sad for a weekday round.
