About Loon Golf Resort

The Loon Golf Resort has grown to include a second location in Gaylord: The Ridge, formerly the Marsh Ridge Golf Resort. The Loon offers a townhome village with four-bedroom/four-bathroom units with full kitchens just steps from the clubhouse restaurant and the course. The Ridge is more versatile with hotel-style rooms, suites and free-standing condos, all within walking distance to the Summit Grill. Lodges named Copenhagen (11 rooms, one apartment), Summit (20 rooms) and Bergen (12 rooms) all feature a large common/recreation area. The Scandinavian Cabin sleeps 12 with six bedrooms, a fireplace, full kitchen and living area. Its 6,231-yard course is short but beautiful. The 6,418-yard Lakes course sports four holes on Lake Michaywe roughly four miles from both resort properties.

Well maintained, fun course to play. I try to make it an annual course for our up north trips.

This is a fun course to play. I played with my 80 year old mom, dad, and brother. We all had a great time. The course is challenging, but fair. Make it a part of your northern Michigan golf experience.

Nice Course for the money

Had a great time with my Dad there on Fathers Day, overall great experience. Couple tough tee shots, which would of been fine if I was driving the ball good that day, but I wasn't. Couple traps had a different consistency than the rest which caught me on one hole. Not sure if it was the rain we got the night before but mosquitos were out, they were fine the front 9, which is the farthest away from the marsh area, bring a little spray and it would be fine, we just didn't have any. I love coming down to Gaylord to play golf and I'd definitely come here again.

Very Playable, good conditions, scenic and enjoyable

Overall very good -- got behind a couple of foursomes on the back nine who probably took 6 hours to play. No one behind us so we replayed 6 holes on the back. Great value for the price and overall a good experience.

Nice course to play

Nice layout. Maintained. Tees, fairways and greens in great shape. Greens have some undulation to them making putting interesting if you get on the wrong side of hole.

Course was in good condition, but rough was long.

We played on Memorial Day so course was not crowded. We got to the course early and were able to tee off before our scheduled tee time. Pace of play was excellent.

This course has challenges for all calibre of golfers.

The course was in excellent condition, even for early Oct.. Players need to be aware of the hidden hazards as there are some elevation changes creating blind shots.
