Welcome to

The Nightmare

PLEASE, don’t let the name fool you. The Nightmare Golf Course features some of the largest fairways you will find on a golf course. Coupled with large undulating greens makes this course a DREAM for any golfer.

The natural beauty of the rolling northern Michigan terrain along with a well manicured course from tee to green puts this area on the map of Michigan’s “must play” golf destinations.

Each year friends and I schedule golf trips to different Michigan destinations…. except our West Branch trip. Dan, Darcy and their staff are all top notch…. Must play courses!

Best course around. Competitive rates and a complimentary range session makes it hard to pass. Condition of course is always us there with the best in Michigan.
Nick Grider
Contrary to the name, not really a nightmare at all. Great value for the money. Allows you to make a mistake and not pay for it dearly.

Excellent track. Feel free to bring your own beer as establishment is not licensed. They supply coolers and ice to keep your beverages cold.
Dan Gennoe
Beautiful, lengthy course. Very challenging considering the elevation changes, and tough greens. Lots of sand bunkers which come into play on almost every hole. Friendly staff. Highly recommend.
