On the road again: Tullymore Golf Club
Friday, September 30, 2011
Last week I was in Michigan. I flew into Grand Rapids and drove roughly an hour to Stanwood where I stayed and played at
Tullymore, a Jim Engh design that opened in 2001. It has been as high as 15th on
our list of America's 100 Greatest Public. This year it dropped back to No. 36.
As I tweeted during the round, Engh the architect is an artist. There are at least 12 holes at Tullymore that would make for a great golf calendar. I shot these pictures with my iPhone, and then used Instagram's "Hefe" filter to add some effect:

The approach to the 404-yard 14th.
The 164-yard 15th.
The horseshoe green at the 560-yard 15th.
(What looks like the green on the right, is actually cut to fairway length.)
My third shot to the 16th, which wasn't cut to fairway length.
On a back nine full of good golf holes and visual fireworks,
the 491-yard 18th is the grand finale.

As I made my way to the 19th hole, the 18th hole was pouring it on.
(No filter for this one.)
As of Sept. 26, it's shoulder season at Tullymore. Greens are in perfect shape and fees just dropped from $125 to $85 during the week (includes range balls and a cart); it was $170 on weekends, now it's $110.
