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.

The Ridge

Only issue was they didn't have carts ready, so we had to wait 20 minutes for carts. Course was in great shape.

Tight/Narrow Fairways

Fairways were extremely narrow and several holes are doglegs with blind shots. May enjoy it more if I were play it again.

Thank you for your feedback! We’ve initiated a tree removal plan across all three of our courses, starting this fall. By the 2025 season, you’ll notice significantly wider fairways. We hope you’ll give us another try and experience the improvements firsthand!

Must of hit a bad day.

Course is beautiful. Got caught in a storm delay for about 40 miinutes. That’s no one’s fault. A group of sixteen (four groups) were loud and drunk and having a good time which made the round last just shy of six hours. Someone should have been watching the pace of play. I’m sure it was just unfortunate timing.

Beautiful Gaylord course

This course has it all, links-like holes, holes with great views and elevation changes and holes wrapped around lakes. So much fun. Pretty good condition considering the lack of rain - it was still very green throughout. My favorite of the 3 Loon resort courses.
