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.

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.

Fun Test

Fun test of golf. Beautiful clubhouse, and a fun layout. Good mix of challenging holes and ones that aren't too difficult. Great conditions, this place is very well taken care of. Clubhouse staff was friendly and attentive. I ordered lunch on the patio and everything came out delicious. Server was attentive and friendly. Highly recommend to someone thinking about coming. Great addition to the Golf Mecca.

Must Play in Gaylord

This course is one of the nicer ones in Gaylord. Staff is very friendly. When I got checked in I would have behind a bunch of 4 somes. The cart guy suggested going off the back as no one was out yet. I got around the back quickly, and by the time I got to 1 there was no wait. Course is a great layout, with a good mix of challenging and fun holes. The front has some crazy holes that test your accuracy, but the back opens up and is a lot of fun to play. I would play again in a heartbeat.

Great course with a great golfing experience for our entire group of 20. We have visited this resort 5 times and the course is always in great condition and memorable.

Thank you again.

Part of a great weekend

Great course with a beautidul layout. Course needs some TLC and will be the best course of the three options at the loon if completed.

Definitely recommend the entire Loon Resort and this course to anyone considering a stay and play package in the gaylord area. Great value and hospitality every visit.
