This executive course has five par 4's and four par 3's. Although there are no water hazards or sand bunkers, grass bunkers come into play on a few holes. Some of the fairways have dogleg configurations and some of the greens are undulating. Two putting greens are available for practice.

This executive course's greens are large and elevated on the back nine. The narrow fairways are lined with trees that can alter your shots. A bridge crosses the water hazard between holes 9 and 10, and both holes require tee shots over water. This course is very easy to walk.

This facility expanded to an eighteen hole course in 1998. It has sloped greens that are undulating and of medium speed. The fairways are manicured and tree lined. The back nine has a little more slope than the front nine. There is a good mix of holes on the course. Water, in the form of ponds, comes into play on five holes.

This course was built in a valley. The greens are small and the course is hilly. The fairways are forgiving, making for a very enjoyable game. Soft spikes are strongly encouraged but not mandatory.

The Wolverine Course is the newest design and features two distinct nines. The front is more open and flat, while the back nine is more similar to the Bear Course in design. The Bear Course is the most difficult of the three courses because it features narrow, tree-lined fairways that are terraced. The greens are undulating, but putt true. The Spruce Run Course has 1,100 spruce trees that can affect your shots. The fairways are open on the front nine and tight on the back nine. This is one of the many Resort Michigan golf courses.

This course was Tom Doak's first solo design and is still the truest to his art. Doak is known for his minimalist, lay-of-the-land philosophy, and no course better represents it than this one. The front nine features a Scottish links-style design which is not normal for Michigan golf courses, with wide-open fairways and rolling greens. The back nine has very narrow fairways lined with beautiful pine trees. The terrain is hilly and the tee boxes are elevated.

Golfers who regularly play the courses of the Traverse City area agree that this course is one of the most scenic and lush layouts in the region. Laid out through a mature forest of large mixed hardwoods and white pines, the course challenges the weekend golfer and low handicapper alike with strategically-placed bunkers, water hazards and tight fairways that make the course a club selector's delight.

The course is constructed on high rolling grass land, accented with mature hardwoods and pine forests. The front 9 is designed in a tree-lined parkland style, while the back 9 is more open and (linksy). The greens are medium sized, averaging 8,000 square feet, are well undulated, and play fast. Very little earth was moved during construction, and the course follows the natural lay of the land.

This course features rolling, tree-lined fairways. Native grasses are incorporated into the roughs and strategically placed bunkers wait to swallow wayward shots. The generous greens are nicely contoured. Golfers will enjoy the many views of East Grand Traverse Bay throughout the course.

This nine hole course, built on flat terrain, features a thick cut of rough lining its fairways, plus trees of various sizes that can affect your shots. The small greens are slightly undulating, but roll true. The course plays longer than the yardage indicates, plus it can be difficult at times because of a winding creek jutting across and alongside many of the narrow fairways.

Michigan Golf Courses Comments:
The resort, has three regulation eighteen hole courses. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, the Bear Course winds its way through the rolling Michigan hills. Almost two miles out at the turn, this expansive course features large, elevated fairways and multiple-tiered greens. Accuracy off the tee is essential, as this hole plays over a pond to a cloverleaf green and is protected by four sand bunkers. With an abundance of native pine, spruce, oak, and birch, both the Wolverine and Spruce Run courses boast scenic views of the Easy Bay of Lake Michigan.
