This course was not maintained at all!!

I will never play this course again, absolutely not taken care of at all. I paid 35 dollars for 18 and a cart and they couldn’t pay me to come play there again. Cart paths had roots coming out of them. No signs on where to go for the next hole. Had to drive through hole 7 to get the hole number 3 and so on. Some holes were absolutely sad to look at, if it was dry, not cut, not even being able to see the holes. If a person who didn’t have a gps on there phone they would have no idea where to hit the ball. No signs on how the hole is laid out. Waste of my time and money.

Great for All

Course was in good shape, greens rolled just a little slow. Course was busy, but still the groups moved at a good clip and kept things moving due to the open fairways. Overall, it was a classic layout with some cool views from high up on the slopes. Perfect spot for an opening round if playing the other courses in the area. Crew inside was awesome and we will be back!

Amazing views

This gem of a course is one of the best I’ve ever played. Great views from elevated tee boxes, lush fairways, and perfect greens. I’ll play this course as often as I can and recommend you don’t pass it up if you’re in Gaylord.

Wow!

The course is somewhat of a challenge just because of elevation changes. Club selection is guess work on some holes. Wind gust did not make it any easier. Greens were very receptive . Would play here again on a calm day. It's nice to hit 290 yard drives at 68.

MI Fall golf - almost perfect

The Tribute is one of Michigan's premier golf courses to begin with, then add the spectacular colors of fall and it's truly an amazing experience. The greens had not been aerated or top-dressed, so this was another added bonus! The only thing missing was the sun to help magnify the intensity of tree colors!
