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.

Much Better Out There

Came to the course from a friends recommendation. Wish I didn’t go honestly. The layout is pretty gimmicky taking driver out of your hands on most holes. I heard “FORE” at least 10 times during the round. Tee boxes were awful and greens needed some work too. Fairways were nice and drinks weren’t overpriced so there’s some good. The course is short and not overly challenging aside from tight fairways and blind shots. Wasn’t my favorite experience.

Car hit by ball

My windshield was shattered in the parking lot by a ball while I played. Turned an already overpriced round into a wildly expensive one. Not to mention I was teeing off on dirt a lot of the round.

Ridiculously slow and zero organization

Playing right now. 3 groups on every tee box, took over 2 hours to play 6 holes. Tee boxes are in awful shape.

If you don’t have 6 hours to play, forget it.

Ranger is barely alive and doesn’t seem to care about pace of play, driven past 4 times.

1st Time, but never again

I've always heard the Myth was great. But honestly after my last round, I will not be going back unless it is 50% off. The greens were horrendous. Your ball would bounce and jump off you line from all of the marks on the greens. Fairways were hard and the grass was dry. We got caught in a rainstorm, which was fine, they did have shelter around the 7th hole, but once the rain left the course didn't drain well and there were many mini lakes on the greens and fairways. Even before the rainstorm the green cups were full of water from the night before. I was looking forward to this course, but after this round, I'll be going to other course with better conditions.

Not to friendly

The guy in the pro shop should probably be on suicide watch. Easily the most miserable person I’ve encountered in years. The ranger stopped us after we drove past the 13th tee and had to turn around and told us we already played and had to leave. We told him to get bent and that we just finished 12 and paid for 18 holes. After that he proceeded to follow us around for the rest of the back. Nice coarse, but super unfriendly staff.

Good, local, friendly course

The course is on a pretty cut of land with rolling hills and deep vegetation. The course is also challenging by the tightness of the fairways - ensure you keep the ball in control when playing this course! However, the course is dated and needs maintenance. The cart paths are in desperate need of repair and tee boxes need updating. Sand traps were in good overall condition and so were the fairways. I really wish this course, and similar public courses would demand their guests repair ball marks (on traps) and replace divots on the tee boxes and fairways. This course is lackadaisical in this regard as confirmed by not having any seed/sand on the cart or at the tee boxes. Nevertheless, I would play here again while repairing two divots and ball marks left from others in each hole.

95° , 40 minute rain delay

We were a twosome and they paired us with a single.(good player)

It was super hot and muggy. The course was playing soft but still some greens were playing faster than others.

The heat kept the crowds away so we had the course to ourselves.

We had a storm alert sound on 14 that caused a 45 minute rain delay. The staff alowed us to park the cart in the garage until it passed, and we spent the Time in the air conditioned clubhouse.. Then we went back out and finished the last 3 holes.

Super fun round.

Played here before... course was in great shape!

This is a fairly short but challenging course. Have to hit your drives straight. The course was in excellent condition. Best I have ever seen here. We enjoyed the round despite the temperature being in the mid 90s. Will be back.

Horrible Pace

Stuck behind a group that didn't know the game,. waiting for greens to clear on par 4s while not being able to drive over 200. Ranger was useless at enforcing pace, showed him they were playing slow and they told us to relax.

Course was kinda cool but the tee boxes were horrendous. There was maybe one semi-flat tee box the entire round and every single one was shredded to pieces. The fairways were maintained well but the greens could use some work. Not worth $45.
