Two Courses, One Destination

There's nothing like a northern Michigan morning when the greens are fresh and the world is quiet. Our two courses offer a dual experience of mountain beauty and panoramic valleys, designed to test your skills against a spectacular natural backdrop. This is where championship play meets the ultimate outdoor retreat.
