Best Golf Courses In Michigan

Some of the best golf courses in Michigan have taken inspiration from golf’s history, whereas some others have added an engagingly quirky modern twist to the game’s landscape. The Wolverine State’s spectacular terrain of dense natural forests, heather-lined highlands and Great Lakes shorelines has been deployed by some top golf architects to craft some impressive, imaginative layouts.

This coastline layout has been crafted to resemble the landscape of a traditional links course  and offers views of Lake Michigan from its windswept, wide fairways dotted with their sod-walled bunkers en route to some huge greens. The course runs along more that 3,000ft of coastline and the elevation change from the highest to lowest point on the layout is 200ft.
