Golf Advisor: Top 25 Value Courses in the U.S. (2014 #7)

Still a Great Course
This is a great course! No wonder it was recently voted one of the top three in its region. The fairways and greens are well-maintained. When you're on the course, you constantly see workers engaged in improvements. Because the clubhouse is under construction at present, a lot of the amenities you might expect are not available. There is no drinking water or restrooms on the course. The directions from one hole to another could also be clearer. I drive about 50 minutes to get to this course, even at today's high gas prices, because it is well worth it!
Twin Birch Review
My family owns a house on Fife lake so I was looking for a value course around the area. This place fits the bill if you are looking to work on your game and challenge yourself at the same time. Tight fairways but forgiving woods. Tucked away in the backwoods of Kalkaska, this course was a great value spot and nice woods scenery. If you cant afford Bay Harbor but want the same up north feel to a course, this is it. The one thing Ill complain about was just having a hard time finding the "clubhouse" which is under renovation.
The one thing I took away from my round was how nice the staff was, especially the owner. He stopped to introduce himself, friendly young guy.
Nice little course in Michigan
Great course
Greens very good and I liked the layout
A few carry holes
I think the gal I brought really liked the course.
I think because she holes out from the bunker for par.
Next time in Michigan, I would play here again
Challenging and fun
This is another beautiful Kalkaska golf course. The greens were in excellent shape. The fairways were pretty good. Quite a few hazards, especially gullies and wide swaths of vegetation to hit over. There were a lot of workers out there working to maintain the course. The clubhouse no longer exists. A new one is under construction. There is a toilet trailer. I did not see any port a potties or restrooms on the course itself. The staff were friendly and helpful. The carts had a rain shade and ball washers, very useful, given the iffy weather.
Diamond in the rough
We stopped to get a little warm-up round in on our way up north never thought it was gonna be that nice easy off the highway we only played the back nine and we definitely want to get back to play the front well taken care of very friendly they are rebuilding the clubhouse but I think they’re doing a really good job dealing with it Course plays really nice I highly recommend it well worth the money
Awesome Thank you !
The only reason I gave the amenities a 3 star because your under construction. But it looks like it’s going to be a 5 eventually.
Figuring out exactly where to go/park is a little confusing if you don’t knowwhere your going but we figured it out.
Over all tho this course is Amazing!
Twin birches. A Hidden Gem
This is a very nice course! The greens and indeed the whole course was in impeccable shape! Although the course was busy, everyone moved along nicely so there were few hold ups ( ok, it was a Wednesday morning). I didn’t see a single weed on the whole course! The clubhouse is being re ugly so amenities are lacking at this time, but the bathrooms were surprisingly bright and clean. I would go again.
Beautiful wooded Course
Not as plush as other Northern Michigan golf, but if you like a well cared for course with narrow tree lined fairways and natural beauty wherever you look, you will love this course. Hit it straight and the course is pretty easy. Hit it crooked and you are in for a long day.
Currently no club house, but will be building one soon. Porta potties for now.
Golf with my grandson
Great value golf course! We were staying at a beachfront motel in Traverse City! This course was a short ride and a
great value! We will return again next year!
Ken
Really nice course
Enjoyed playing here great price for a really nice course.
Our hometown course!
This is mine and my husband’s go-to course. It has everything to challenge you - woods, water, sand, you name it. Today we encountered a turkey, crane and a deer on different holes crossing the fairway. I love this course!
Hey Lois! Thanks for golfing at Twin Birch! There are three bathrooms located on the course. Hole 14 by green, hole 4 by tee bow and one by hole 11 by green.
