Great early season golf!

Great early season golf! Paired up with a tremendous young golfer from Traverse City and a retired fellow from Chicago. My wife and I had a great afternoon of TC golf. Our only complaint was no refreshments at the turn. The bar was closed and we were told to go to the towers, where we couldn’t drive our cart. A little coordination between the pro shop and the bar would have easily resolved this problem! But, overall a Tremendous afternoon. And the Wolverine was in spectacular condition for April!!

Excellent Early Season Golf

Course is in great shape for this early in the season! Greens are in good condition, slow roll to be expected. Starter was super guy and pro shop staff were terrific, but couldn’t get a pop or beer at the turn at 5:30, fellow at the bar said we had to go to the towers for beverages. No time for that, and carts can’t go there! All in all, everything else was terrific and were paired with a tremendous young golfer (and super young man) from TC and a Chicago transplant. A truly enjoyable round!

GPS Issue Still

The course is terrific, and a great value compared to nearby courses!! But, after changing the layout two years ago, they still haven’t updated their GPS. And, don’t trust their handout renumbering the holes. Play it! Some forest carries that are spectacular… Play The Chief and have fun!!

Excellent Condition

Don’t have to be a scratch golfer to enjoy this course. One of the courses in the complex that anyone can play. But, there are challenges for the better players as well.

Play It

The Tribute is a challenging course with numerous holes that require carries to test your length and/or club selection. We always enjoy playing the Tribute, and the course is in great shape. If you meet Ranger Lou, he and the beverage cart girl are the best ambassadors for the course. Go…Play… Enjoy!!!

Great Challenge and Great Condition

Having played the Tribute in the past we didn’t know what to expect with new owners. We were pleasantly surprised! The course layout has always been solid, but, the maintenance and conditions have greatly improved. We play many courses in northern Michigan, and the Tribute is one on our must play list.

Constantly Getting Bettet

This is a golf experience that every true golfer should have. The course continues to improve every season. The owners are to be commended for their efforts and results. Not an easy play! But, when the layout is known, the course is challenging without being frustrating! Go play this course, then play it again! If the owners continue to realize their vision, this will be a premier course in this golf Mecca!

Alpine at Boyne Mountain Resort

Well maintained Fun to play

Boyne courses are always great to play! The Alpine at the Mountain is no exception! Very well maintain and in great condition. Greens are moderately fast, and the fairways are groomed and watered. Our only complaint on this day was on the back nine we had a sixsome playing in front of us (a twosome) and they were in no hurry. Even on #18, when they (finally) finished, they took their time putting their bags in order before (finally) leaving the area around the green. I won’t go into the pro shop’s reaction to our complaint, suffice it to say it was not good. Tough getting good help in the COVID beleaguered economy! But, if your not stuck behind a sixsome, the Alpine is a great round of golf.

Required (Covid 19) Walking, But Great Outing!

The course was in pretty good shape, considering the early season. Not an easy course to walk, but easier than many northern Michigan courses! Great to be outside, and out of the house, on a beautiful spring day. Not too many places to find trouble, but a few more challenging holes and greens. Fun course and a great early season warm up!

The course is narrow and not for the faint of heart. Overall the course has been in better shape in the past, but still in good shape.

Great Course Great People

Gaylord Golf Club is a terrific course with a great staff. The first three holes are pretty straight forward. The fun starts on the fourth hole, a par 3 and continues with a nice dogleg par 5. Overall the course is in excellent condition, with nice watered fairways and greens. We always enjoy a round at Gaylord Golf Club!

Well kept and open

Overall a great round with a few exceptional holes. One par three on the back nine offers a real challenge for the first tuner. Fairways are generous for the most part. A “must play’ for the area. You decide after playing them all...

Great Course... Great People!

This is a Course that pride is shown wherever you look! There are tougher courses, but none that are better maintained. The fairways are defined, the rough is graduated, and the greens run true. It is always a pleasure to play!

Best Value in Area

Not for the weak of heart as elevation is in play on many holes. But, the fairways are friendly and the greens play well. Played a course in Old Hickory that reminded us of country clubs back home... holes running back and forth making use of every yard of real estate...but, Twelve Stones plays like our premier courses at home! No repetition and seldom driving into a different fairway. Skip the “General” and don’t be “Presidential” cast your first stone at Twelve Stones.

Terrific Value on a Well Maintained Course

The course has some challenging holes and is the best maintained course in the Thumb. Greens are true and the tee boxes are kept in great condition. The fairways are solid and the water and traps are well placed. If we were closer this would definitely be our home course!
