Golf Resorts

There's nothing like staring down a pristine fairway. Or feeling like you're all alone while surrounded by century old trees and majestic Great Lakes. Some of the greatest course designers of our time, like Jerry Matthews, Tom Doak, Gary Player, Tom Weiskopf, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus, have fallen under the spell of Michigan's fields, forests, inland lakes and streams. Named by Golf Digest as "the 12th best golf destination in the world", Michigan is America's summer golf capital. So make your tee times, your spa appointment and your dining reservations because enjoying the game at its best is Pure Michigan.

Crystal Mountain, Thompsonville

With two distinctly different golf courses - both of which have received a four-star rating golf course from Golf Digest magazine – you can find everything you expect from a premier northern Michigan golf resort--panoramic vistas, fairways winding through stately forests and ascending to high elevations, as well as protected greens, a tree lined fairway and challenging bunkers.

Inn at Bay Harbor, Bay Harbor

The sweeping shoreline bluffs, dunes, rugged rock formations and verdant woodlands converge to form three nine-hole courses on the shore of Lake Michigan's Little Traverse Bay. The Links, The Quarry and The Preserve each possess a distinct character while providing risk and reward challenges suitable for golfers of all abilities.

Garland Resort, Lewiston

Garland is the home of the largest log building east of the Mississippi River – a beautiful central structure that gives the entire resort the flavor of the great outdoors. The Lodge was designed to remind guests of a time when life was more relaxing and enjoyable.
