Michigan Golf Courses Comments:
This true links-style course is set on a bluff, offering breathtaking views of Lake Michigan from every hole. The sculptured fairways offer generous landing areas, although some can be rather tight and demanding. Large, well-undulating greens, playing very fast, increase the level of difficulty. The signature hole is 15, a lengthy 633-yard, par 5. This sweeping dog-leg left features a narrow lay-up area, with the green perched 200 feet above Lake Michigan.

Michigan Golf Courses Comments:
This course was built on typical Northern Michigan terrain that features rolling meadows and maple woodlands. Water hazards come into play on a few holes, and sand bunkers have been incorporated throughout the entire course. Half of the fairways are tree lined, while the other half are wide open. The greens vary in size and undulation, as do the fairways. The signature hole is 6, a 401-yard, par 4, requiring shots past the scenic wetlands in order to reach the green.

Michigan Golf Courses Comments:
This course was built on very rolling terrain, so you can expect uneven lies and many changes in elevation. The wind is what makes this course quite challenging. The tree-lined fairways range from open to narrow, and the large greens are undulating. Water hazards (lakes) come into play on seven holes. Some of the greens and tee boxes are elevated.

This nine hole course was built on rolling terrain. The tree-lined fairways are defined by a thick cut of rough. The greens are medium in size and speed, and water hazards come into play on a few holes.

Michigan Golf Courses Comments:
This executive course is moderately hilly, but is a good course for learning the fundamentals of golf. It is very rare that someone will shoot 30. The medium-sized greens are soft enough to hold your shots, and some of the greens are elevated.

This course is located in an old fruit orchard. Trees don't come into play but they do surround the course. The signature hole is 18, a 605-yard, par 5, which requires a tremendous tee shot to the dogleg fairway.

Michigan Golf Courses Comments:
This course requires a wide variety of shots from a wide variety of lies, including uphill, downhill, and sidehill, since the fairways are sloped. The greens are very fast because there is a constant wind that dries them out and affects play. Several holes were built alongside the banks of Lake Michigan.

This narrow, tree-lined course was built on rolling terrain, so expect uneven lies. All the scenic fairways are bordered by a standard cut of rough. The large greens are undulating, but their speeds are a little on the slow side since the management likes to keep them cut somewhat long.
