Treetops Resort

Links style course cut into the hills of gaylord is of pga quality. Immaculate course conditions coupled with breathtaking scenery made this one of the best courses played

Played the Masterpiece. Be sure to play the proper tee for your hadicap. Coming up a few yards short on yourt drive will cost you dearly. With a 147 slope rating and well protected elevated greens, accuracy is key. Need to have a single digit handicap to score here. High handicappers can enjoy the scenery and expect many blowup quintupple bogies.

While camping in northern Michigan we were trying to find a fun golf course to play even though treetops was almost an hour from our campsite the deal we got on golf now was irresistible I did not even think I would be able to play such a nice course but the hot deal was better than the local 9 holers the signature course was visually stunning with mountain views stretching for miles most of the resort traffic was done for the day and the course was still in fabulous shape definitely a do over

Signature: Greens were absolutely blazing fast and have some of the most severe slopes i have ever played. Our 3-some had more than a couple putts end up off of greens.

The rest of the course is reasonably open and it great shape. Its a challenging but fair course that higher handicaps can enjoy too.

$55 on golf now was a bargain for a course of this caliber..

The Masterpiece was very scenic. Some really beautiful holes. Condition was very nice. Greens were rolling great, but not overly fast and the course is very fair and reasonably open.

We paid $55 and it was a steal. Not sure if its fair at the $100 regular price.

Simply a terrific course. Beautiful tree lined holes. Challenging layout. Greens in great shape and OH MY! some extremely challenging breaks!

If you make it to Gaylord, you MUST play Treetops.

Other than lacking paved cart paths, Treetops - Tradition was in very good shape. Greens were not overly challenging but rolled well and the fairways were well manicured. Not too busy for a Saturday morning in June, so we were able to get around the course quickly.

Course was in great shape as expected for a treetops course. Not as difficult as some of the other courses on the resort but a very fun course to play. Would play there again for sure.

Second time we played here in 2 weeks. Love the course, very friendly staff, we will be bac

This was my first time visiting Treetops, and maybe my expectations coming in to the course was too high, but even with may deeply-discounted round through golfnow I was left extremely disappointed. I played the "Signature" course, which does offer a number of scenic vistas throughout the track which winds through the woods and hills of norther Michigan. However, the major let down was the extreme failure of proper course maintenance. If a course prices itself at $100+ a round I believe it is fair to expect a high-level of overall course conditions. Instead, this is what I found:
-Unevenly mowed tee boxes littered with divots so numerous it was impossible to not be force to stand in one and broken tees everywhere.
-Bunkers that have not seen fresh sand in some time and are not raked daily by staff.
-Fairways with numerous soggy spots due to poor drainage
-Cart paths that were 25% paved, the rest being dirt/gravel or just grass
-Healthy, long rough that presented a challenge but filled with piles of clippings and no clean first cut.
-Greens (the worst part) with dead spots, signs of mold damage, ball marks more plentiful than dimples on a golf ball, and even entire baseball-sized chunks of turf missing from the green.
-Golf carts are gas-powered and showing their age. No sand, tees, or ball washer was provided on them.

To sum things up, the course had the maintenance of a regular municipal course at very best, which significantly devalues the Treetop experience. I've played just about every other resort course in the state, all of which are similarly priced. In the future I will probably stick to those other options like Crystal Mtn, Boyne, and Tullymore which seems to get all the aspects of running a course including the small details beyond just mowing the grass everyday right.
