The Inn at Bay Harbor

Played after links/quarry, which might have diminished crooked tree a tad. Still a very fine course, great condition and pace was fantastic. A couple holes tighten up if you don’t hit the fairway, so an accurate tee shot is a must or you might get frustrated with the OB.

Would recommend, but they’re are plenty of equally nice courses and quite a few nicer courses up in the area.

So this was the first out of a group stay-and-play thru the Highlands. Overall with the 5 courses we played the value was excellent; however, the single play is quite steep—definitely recommended the stay/play, great courses and great room accommodations.

The course was fantastic. Views out there are only matched by a few courses here in Michigan and the overlook onto the approach and green on 18th is spectacular. Zero issues with pace of play and the course is very fair, there just a few holes with construction on-going or nearby otherwise this would be 5/5.

North Michigan holiday, weekend, Have played crooked tree before and looked forward..Would be higher rating but informed before round at check in that 2nd hole closed for repair, told to take a birdie on my scorecard and they would discount round by 10%…, disappointed not to know this when I booked for me and my son, and later called to add nephew ,, otherwise course in good shape and nice pace

Every 9 at bay harbor is amazing and while I had played Links/Quarry a couple of times, I had never played Preserve before. It is wonderful! The golf is every bit as good as the others, it just lacks some of the views you get on Links/Quarry. It is more traditional up north michigan/tree lined, etc. Don't let that turn you away though, you can often snag a discounted tee time for early or twilight for a routing that includes the Preserve and you will love it. As with all the courses at Bay Harbor, conditioning was excellent.

Good views. Recently aerated and didn’t tell me or provide a discount. Fairways were nice. Definitely not worth the price considering the other options in the area.

Not the most exciting course I’ve ever played but the weather and the views on some of the holes made up for it. Course conditions are excellent and the overall experience was exceptional!

Very friendly starter (host)

Play was a little slow due to the foursome I front of us

Course is beautiful

This golf course name describes the layout - crooked. Most fairways are dog legs. The course itself is in very good condition. Greens are large and difficult. There are many blind shots and the only course description is provided on an App that didn’t work. Make sure you have a range finder.

Scenery was beautiful..

However I cannot recommend this course because of the unbearably slow pace of play. Our start time was 1:30 and if we had played the entire 18, we would have finished at 7:30 pm.. The course was sold out for the day, so there were many frustrated golfers playing behind us and some asked to play through until they realized it was useless. By the time we reached the 10th hole we were waiting 20 minutes on every tee box.

There were no Marshals and no attempt to speed up the 6 foursomes causing the delay. The 2 people working when we left at 6:15 pm (after playing 13 holes in 4 1/2 hours, ) rudely informed us that they knew about the delay and turned away..

It was an 80 degree day and when we made the turn, there were no water cups or ice.

Overall it was a very unenjoyable experience.. Boyne Mountain rResorts wanted our green fees but did not provide the service we deserved.
