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.

Course was in great shape

Haven't played here in a couple years but was very impressed with the condition of the course, great shape all around. Pace of play was good too as our fore-some finished in 4 hours.

Excellent, challenging greens...

The actual course itself is in pretty good shape, and is challenging. The greens, for the most part were in excellent shape.
However, the wooden paths that are driven on have seen better days. They are in very bad shape, and in some area very dangerous to drive on.

Challenging for an average golfer

great value for the money, the course is maintained pretty good. they can use better carts and cart paths. There are multiple hazards on every hole including water before the green and some bunkers. The greens are extremely challenging especially for inexperienced putters.

Short course needs work on the greens.

I played the par 3 executive course. The greens were in bad shape - lots of bare spots. Cart paths were not marked. I didn't know where the next tee was. It was, however, challenging.

Target Golf, good value

lots of water, lots of blind shots. Not a course to get out your driver and blast away. greens and fairways were in great shape.
A few of the greens have crazy slopes if you are on the wrong side of the hole. Overall this course was a good value and fun to play.

I would play again.

Play was slow but can't blame the course for slow players,the ranger did push the groups ahead of us. The tee boxes need some attention,the rest of the course is in very good shape.

Challenging layout, but rough around the edges

This is not a 5-Star course, but is a very fun and challenging layout for a reasonable price. Paid $27 for 18/cart during prime time on a Saturday.. better than most courses in the area. Many very interesting and challenging holes. Sometimes the holes are pretty close together (you'll hear 'fore' a lot is the course is crowded), but at least it's visually appealing and not surrounded by houses. If you can get a deal, it's worth trying.

Greens are very tough and the course is in good shape!

I am a fairly new Golfnow.com user and was extremely delighted with the value and ease of using this application. My friend and I played 18 holes w/ cart for $9 each, which was normally $24. Great service, great golf, great price!!! Thank you Golfnow.com...who says golfing has to be an expensive sport???

Not very different but fun

Didn't have many exciting holes, pretty standard 18 hole course. It's a little short, had no problems reaching par 5s in 2 or par 3s with short irons. Fun time though, played quick, not too busy.

Great place for a Kolve game

Great course with several very challenging holes. Accommodating club house, and staff. Great pick as a destination for friends, and business associates. Not easy, not difficult. All will come away with a story or two.

Not a Good Course

This course was in very rough condition and not taken care of. The pace was slow and the tee boxes were sand, not grass. It looks like they built the course and forgot to put the tee boxes in and just jammed them wherever they could. I would never go to the Myth again and have told friends to golf elsewhere. Also they advertise it as a link style course, which is untrue!

This is not a links course. It is cut out of thick woods, with long cart rides on rickety plank roads green to tee. It can't be walked. Errant shots are very often not found, and play can be generally slower than other comments said. Several tee shots are to blind landing areas, which border other holds, which leads to balls being picked up or played in error by other players.

I agree that the course conditions are less than well manicured. The staff and hospitality are as advertised, and the course has potential. I just hate hitting a relatively decent shot over a hill near the edge of a fairway, and losing the ball. This happened repeatedly each time I've played "the Myth". It's old name Beaver Creek was more appropriate.
