One of my favorite courses in all of Michigan.  You can spend more money, but you can’t find a better place.  Although a little tougher than it’s sister course “The Dream”, it is a fair test of golf.  It is not a pretentious place.  No million-dollar club house.  Just a nice clubhouse (trailer), with nice people.  This is a golfer’s golf course. Built on gentle rolling hills though northern Michigan forest, this is a beautiful golf course.  Deer and Turkey wander the fairways.  The fairways are reasonable wide with large greens.  Watch out, the greens have many hidden subtle breaks to cause you frustration.  Hole #3 is a long testy par four with an uphill approach.  Hole #4 is a gorgeous dog-leg right, where big hitters can smash it over the trees and setup a nice wedge in.  Holes #6 and #8 are long challenging par fives (can you say 600 yards).   The back nine starts you off with a reachable par four, then a reachable par 5.  #14 is one of the prettiest and most difficult par three’s you’ll ever see.  Keep it straight on the tight par fours (#15 and 16).  Then get ready to rip it home on the par-5 18th.  Watch for the pin placement as the 18th green may be 60 yards long. I love this course.
