Michigan Golf Courses Comments:
This course has large, undulating greens with rolling fairways and elevation changes. The rough is a combination of grasses with the majority being heather. The course is in a rural area where one may view elk, deer and even an occasional black bear. The first hole is a practice hole, making Black Bear Golf Club a (nineteen) hole course.

Michigan Golf Courses Comments:
This course is always in great shape. The greens are really difficult because of their fast speed and varying undulations. The fairways were built on rolling terrain, and many are well bunkered. The design also includes flowers, water, pines, hardwoods, and rolling hills with panoramic views.

This executive course is not as easy as it looks, but it is easy to walk. The somewhat small greens are medium speed, and the frequently watered fairways are average-sized. Four of the fairways are tree lined, plus the terrain is predominantly flat. Water hazards come into play on two holes.

Michigan Golf Courses Comments:
This gently rolling, expertly bunkered course appeals to all levels of play. The course was built on hilly terrain, so expect uneven lies. However, the fairways afford generous landing areas, and the large greens are fast. Two lakes and some man-made ponds come into play at least six times. Carts are mandatory.

This hilly course bridges over thirty-five acres of unspoiled marshlands, with rolling hills and scenic vistas overlooking dramatic vertical drops. The greens vary in size and putt true, and the fairways are narrow. Marshlands come into play on nearly every hole.

Michigan Golf Courses Comments:
Michaywe Hills Golf Club features large, challenging greens. Strategic bunkering and a minimum of water hazards add to the character of this layout. White birch and pine trees line many of the fairways, and they will adversely affect errant tee shots. The entire area is home to an abundance of wildlife, so it's not usual to see deer roaming along the fairways.

This course, located on the west side of Otsego Lake, is very deserving of its name. This championship layout has been constructed on one of the most scenic sites in northern Michigan. The course was designed so golfers of different levels of ability could enjoy an exciting challenge amidst beautiful stands of oak, maple, birch, and pine, rolling terrain and some of the most visually outstanding wetlands in northern Michigan.

Michigan Golf Courses Comments:
This resort features two outstanding eighteen hole courses. The Valley Course is a traditional course with not many bunkers, but tight landing areas. This course was built with all skill levels in mind. The flat greens hold the ball well and are just a little slow. There are two ponds that come into play on two holes.
