"#1 Rated Resort Course in Michigan"
Detroit News - Golf Guide 1997.
"#1 Ranked Public and Resort Course in Michigan"
Golf Digest 1996.
True Scottish links golf comes alive in Northeast Michigan on The Gailes at Lakewood Shores Resort. Designed to recreate the look and feel of those famous seaside courses of Scotland, and described as "a links that's as authentic as any in North America" - Ron Witten, editor Golf Digest. The Gailes was rated the #1 Best New Resort Course in the United States for 1993 by Golf Digest.

The 10th hole at The Gailes, a relatively short and seemingly simple 348-yard, par-4, captures the true essence of links golf. Hidden hazards await all around, 7 deep sod faced bunkers are eagerly poised to pounce on less than perfectly placed shots to the fairway or green, thick gnarled mounds of knee high fescue stand ready to swallow their little white round foe and an innocent gently flowing meandering burn on the left. Mix in the often boisterous winds of Lake Huron and it will be hard to remember you are still in Michigan.

Great Couples Weekend
Lakewood Shores has 3 Great Courses to choose from. Greens are in great shape and lightning fast. Condo's are right on the Golf Course. Very convenient. Condo's are dated but more than good enough.
