Overview

Built in 1927 as a getaway for the Chicago and Detroit swells summering at the tip of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, the William Watson design was ahead of its time with its large scale and almost 7,000 yards of length. Even in the heart of peak season, you can ride 18 for less than $100 and play where Tom Watson considered his summer home course during his family's annual visits throughout his teenage years.

Review

“Classic, old school Willie Watson design with some fascinating green complexes and excellent variety of golf holes makes this course well worth the drive to Northern Michigan. Tom Watson spent his summers playing there and is still a member."
