Beautiful course
Wife and I played during a short trip to Traverse City. Course is beautiful and excellent condition. Staff was courteous and helpful. The course wasn’t very busy so the pace of play was pretty good. Really didn’t have to wait on the front (after the first hole). Caught up with a threesome on 10 and waited on most holes on the back, but still played in 4 hours. It looked to me like the sand in the bunkers on the back wasn’t as nice as on the front, but that’s being a bit picky. We enjoyed the course and would like to play it again.

A Real Gem!
Delightful golf course. Scenic, great condition and a classic understated club vibe which we loved. Greens were pure, fairways perfect and although plenty challenging, fair.
Service was top notch!

Worth the Trip
If you are looking for a course that is quiet, geographically different with a great staff and equally great conditions, book a tee time here. Great incorporation of the hills, challenging yet fair greens and a few well placed bunkers make this a good test of your skills.
