Autumn Tee Times
Play 18
Fall is peak season for northern Michigan golf, offering cooler temperatures and vibrant autumn foliage. Guests love the crisp September and October air, creating ideal conditions for walking the course or enjoying the view from your golf cart.
Why Choose Betsie Valley
If you want to see the autumn colors close up, Betsie Valley is your course. It's perfect for a walking round and allows for a more relaxing pace of play where you can truly take your time soaking in the scenery.
Why Choose Mountain Ridge
Mountain Ridge is great for riding a cart so you can easily move between the elevated tee shots and the sweeping, panoramic views of the bright fall foliage.
