Is michigan golfing in the summer really as good as everyone makes it out to be?

Question

Whenever I go golfing around the country, people say Michigan has some un real courses that play best in the summer

Answer 1

Great golf, if you are up towards Saugatuck, play the Ravines, it is an Palmer course, steep green fee, nice course though, but yeah a lot of nice golf in Michigan!

Answer 2

Absolutely.  Unless you are scared of beautiful scenery and trees.   See also my home state, Minnesota.  The N.Central and NE has some wicked nice courses.....rock quarries and more....

Answer 3

Hi,

There are some truly woderful courses in Michigan.

Book yourself a few rounds - you won't be disappointed

Answer 4

Absolutely. Especially "Up North" in the Traverse City and Gaylord areas. Bay Harbor, Boyne, Arcadia Bluffs (Take a look at that site, here: http://www.arcadiabluffs.com/ ), Little Traverse Bay, Black Forest and High Pointe (Tom Doak designs), and hundreds more.

There are 800+ public courses in Michigan.

The weather is pleasant and the days are long. When I'm "Up North", I often start a round at 6pm and finish at 9:30 with enough light left for putting practice.

Prices are very good, too.

If you look in my gallery here, you'll see some photos that I've taken of Michigan courses. Especially look at the "Up North" photos:
