The Loon reaches all levels of golfers with a combination of multiple tee areas and well designed bunkers. Since its opening in 1994 this golf course has been what "Friendly Championship Golf " is all about. The Loon has generous landing areas gently rolling fairways large greens and some of the most scenic views Northern Michigan has to offer.

Very Playable, good conditions, scenic and enjoyable

Overall very good -- got behind a couple of foursomes on the back nine who probably took 6 hours to play. No one behind us so we replayed 6 holes on the back. Great value for the price and overall a good experience.

Course was in good condition, but rough was long.

We played on Memorial Day so course was not crowded. We got to the course early and were able to tee off before our scheduled tee time. Pace of play was excellent.
