Editor's Note: Course closed for business in 2020.
Little Traverse Bay Golf Club is one of the courses that put the Harbor Springs area of northern Michigan on the map as one of the state's most popular golfing destinations. The scenic location offers panoramic views with the ability on clear days to see all the way to Little Traverse Bay on several holes. The rolling terrain provides elevated tees and green complexes that will test your skills picking the proper club. You'll find that the uphill approaches often need one or two extra clubs. Different types of bunkers are strategically placed throughout with some that will give you fairly easy recoveries while others are high-lipped and consequently more punishing. There are some stunning holes thanks to the dramatic elevation changes, especially on the back nine where the landscape is even more undulating.

Great views!
The course was in excellent condition. All staff were friendly and helpful and the views were great! Thoroughly enjoyed the round!
great course
great course , everyone (golfer) should play at least once.
a quick afternoon decision to golf
Was in the Petoskey area for a landmark birthday weekend and at the last minute decided to golf. Using Golfnow, we were able to get a tee time withing a couple hours and what a pleasant surprise going to the course. The course was well sprinkled as it was all green and lush despite a draught going on in Michigan. The course was a series of well laid out holes with major elevation changes and vistas that showed the trees for miles and the bay. Our twosome literally would sit on a tee box and take in the views.
Awesome place to play
This course deserves the description of most beautiful place to play. The course was in excellent condition. The greens were fast and challenging. Great experience.
Tricky Greens
Some wonderful views. Great condition. Staff was terrific. Starter was fantastic and extremely helpful. Course is fairly straightforward. Greens are the key as the starter explained. Almost all putts break toward Little Traverse Bay.
Great Views!
Great view from every hole. Course is in good shape and conditions are perfect. Price is ok
Lousy green complexes
The course is very scenic at times, but the greens are just to difficult. It takes the enjoyment out of the round. That is why no meaningful tournaments are held on courses like this!
Beautiful course
Beautiful course with stunning views. Very challenging greens. Helpful staff.
Golf Now App directions dumped us out in the middle of nowhere.
A candid evaluation of a round of golf

Beautifully Designed/Well Manicured Course
Beautiful Course / Beautiful Weather with my wife and good friends. For what more could you ask?
Great course with great views!
This has to be one of the most scenic golf courses in northern lower Michigan. The staff was very friendly and course check-in was quick. I was a single that had booked on Golf Now and I was paired with a very friendly couple. Pace of play was great...and our round took 4 hours. The fairways are in great shape as are the greens. The greens were a bit tricky for me to read and rolled true and moderately fast. This was the 5th round I have played at this course over the last few years and each time has been a very enjoyable round of golf. Here's hoping I can make it back up in the fall when the colors are in full swing!!! I highly recommend this course.
Get to this course!
Friendly staff. Some trouble with finding our golfnow tee time but desk was accommodating. Well cared course and great layout. Terrific views. Greens were in great shape and humbling.
Great conditions and views
Elevation changes, fast and tricky greens, superb conditions. LTB is a great example of northern Michigan golf. Getting it on golfnow was a steal.
Great Experience...play it twice to score
Everything about the golf was near perfect! Fairways and greens are very receptive but tough to get comfortable putting. I suggest taling about 20% off of the break you think you see.
Elevation changes much easier to cope with the more you play it, obviously.
Bring a camera and take some pics!
Great veiws
Great course great views... Excellent greens and fairways...
Good test, great views!!
Great day of golf!
Very interesting holes
Gorgeous view!
Could see for miles having 2 Hearted Ale at 19th
Challenging greens and elevations
We always have fun at this course and it is one of few nice ones in the area that are public.
A must vacation stop.
