Arcadia Bluffs South Course
$$$$$An inland homage to the old Macdonald and Raynor courses, with grass-faced bunkers, squared-off greens, and wide bold lines. A completely different mood from the famous bluffs nearby.
Bay Harbor Golf Club
$$$$$Arthur Hills routed the Links nine right along the Little Traverse Bay shoreline and the Quarry through an old limestone pit. The combination is one of the most photographed rounds in the Midwest.
American Dunes Golf Club
$$$$Tom Doak's bold redesign of a former club into a patriotic tribute that funds Folds of Honor scholarships. A genuine dunes experience near Lake Michigan.
Forest Dunes Golf Club
$$$$A Weiskopf parkland-and-sand beauty tucked deep in the Huron National Forest, with on-site lodging for the full getaway. Quiet, remote, and consistently adored.
Forest Dunes The Loop
$$$$Tom Doak's reversible eighteen plays clockwise one day and counterclockwise the next on the very same greens, two real courses for the price of one piece of land. A golf nerd's dream.
The Bear at Grand Traverse Resort
$$$$Jack Nicklaus built this one mean, with terraced fairways, deep pot bunkers, and tiered greens that have humbled plenty near Traverse City. Bring your patience and a few spare balls.
The Heather at Boyne Highlands
$$$$A 1966 Robert Trent Jones Sr. design that started Boyne's whole northern-Michigan golf empire. Classic, mature, and welcoming.
The Wolverine at Grand Traverse Resort
$$$$Gary Player's design at Grand Traverse Resort, winding through wetlands and hardwoods near Traverse City. A worthy companion to the resort's Bear course.
Treetops Masterpiece
$$$$Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s dramatic, plunging design is the one that put northern Michigan golf on the map. Part of an 81-hole resort, but this is the headliner.
Treetops Premier
$$$$The lone Tom Fazio course in the state, carving through forest and elevation at Gaylord's sprawling golf resort. Smooth, scenic, and a nice complement to the rugged Masterpiece.
Tullymore Golf Club
$$$$A Jim Engh design weaving through wetlands and forest, with sister course St. Ives next door for a 36-hole day. Tucked in central Michigan and worth the detour.
Arthur Hills at Boyne Highlands
$$$An Arthur Hills design carved through hardwood ridges at Boyne Highlands. Generous and scenic, a staple of a northern Michigan golf trip.
Donald Ross Memorial at Boyne Highlands
$$$A tribute course recreating famous holes from Donald Ross classics like Pinehurst, Oakland Hills, and Seminole. A bucket-list novelty done with care.
Eagle Eye Golf Club
$$$A modern daily-fee near Lansing whose 17th apes the famous island green at TPC Sawgrass. Polished conditioning and a fun finish.
Greywalls at Marquette Golf Club
$$$A wild Mike DeVries design on rocky bluffs above Lake Superior in the Upper Peninsula. Exposed granite and big-lake views make it unforgettable.
Sage Run Golf Club
$$$Built across a rare glacial ridge, Sweetgrass's younger sister rides natural rolls and humps you won't find anywhere else in the U.P. Wide, bold, and great fun.
Shanty Creek Cedar River
$$$Tom Weiskopf's course at Shanty Creek, routed through a wooded river valley near Bellaire. Strategic and scenic, the pick of the resort's layouts.
Shanty Creek The Legend
$$$An Arnold Palmer design tumbling down toward Lake Bellaire, with dramatic elevation and water. A northern Michigan resort classic.
Sweetgrass Golf Club
$$$An Upper Peninsula resort track with a heart-stopping par-3 15th to an island green and tribal-themed touches throughout. Pair it with a casino stay and play both sisters.
