Why you should choose Crystal Mountain for your next Girls Golf Weekend
Up North Golf Destination for Women
As home of the Michigan PGA Women's Open for 23 years, Crystal Mountain certainly caters to female golfers of all levels. Each summer, our championship Mountain Ridge course welcomes some of the top pros and elite collegiate players from across the country – and around the world – to experience true northern Michigan golf. But you don't have to be a pro to play like one.
Whether you're looking for a golf getaway with the girls, a couples trip, or a family vacation, golf is the highlight, but the extra amenities at Crystal Mountain will make this golf trip stand out from all the rest.
Courses Designed with Women in Mind
With 36 holes of scenic, challenging, and thoughtfully designed golf, Crystal Mountain is a dream destination for women who love the game. Both Mountain Ridge and Betsie Valley feature forward tees that offer a fair advantage without sacrificing the fun or the challenge. Whether you're just getting into the game or you've been playing for years, you'll feel right on par.
Women's-Only Golf School
Improve your game with expert instruction in a supportive setting. Golf School at Crystal Mountain has been recognized as one of the best by Golf Digest. The Women's-Only Golf School is a three-day lesson designed to help you boost your skills and your confidence, covering all facets of the game. Learn from the pros in our 10-acre learning center and then put your new skills to the test on the course, and have a blast while doing it.
Look Good, Feel Good, Play Good
Let's be honest—the pro shop is half the fun. Crystal Mountain's Kinlochen Shop is stocked with flattering, functional, and seriously stylish women's golf apparel. From dresses and skirts to polos, zip-ups, shoes, and hats, you'll find something that fits your game and your vibe.
Tee time, then Spa Time
Nothing makes a golf trip better than a little pampering! After your round, unwind at Crystal Spa, the first LEED-certified spa in the Midwest with a luxurious locker room featuring a eucalyptus steam room and infrared sauna. From soothing massages to rejuvenating facials and body treatments, it's the perfect way to relax and recharge before your next tee time.
The 19th Hole
After the back nine, head to The Thistle for a post-round toast. Relax inside the Scottish-inspired restaurant or enjoy food and drinks in the beautiful Rose Garden. This is just one of the on-site dining options at Crystal Mountain. Venture off property, but not too far, to Iron Fish Distillery or St. Ambrose Cellars and experience the area like a local.
More Than a Golf Trip
There's more to explore. The charming town of Frankfort and Lake Michigan's scenic shoreline are just 20 minutes away. Shop the local boutiques, grab a pint at Stormcloud Brewing Company, or take in a Lake Michigan sunset.
