Pure Michigan

Superior golf in the heart of the Midwest

- 

WHILE YOU'RE DREAMING about great golf destinations from Pebble Beach to Pinehurst, why not consider a trip somewhere in the middle— in a land of charming lake towns proffering homemade ice cream and fudge? Boyne Mountain, in Northern Michigan, offers 11 courses and three varied resort experiences on 10,000 acres within an 18-mile radius, all within driving distance of Chicago, Detroit, Grand Rapids and Sault Ste. Marie. It will give any golf resort in North America a run for its money.

Also of note is Boyne’s impeccable personal service. In fact, you can't even book a golf package on its website. The company insists you speak to a human to ensure the best possible planning when choosing between 120 different room types gathered around virtually every resort activity you can conjure.

As for the Royal and Ancient Game, Boyne offers play amid marshes, woods, mountains, bluffs, dunes, links, a quarry—everything except a chocolate fountain. The golf courses are associated with each of the three hotel properties, but the courses are all fully public.
