Northern Michigan Golf Guide – Michigan Golf Courses and Resorts

Missaukee Golf Club

Missaukee Golf Club is an 18 hole facility that is open to the public. Located at the South corner of M-55 and M-66, we are centrally located between Lake City and McBain, and just 15 short minutes from the beautiful downtown district of Cadillac. Missaukee Golf Club was established in 1970, and over the years has continually updated the facility to meet the needs of all golfers. Just 6,045 yards from our back tees and a mere 4,905 yards from our forward tees, our course can be considered “user friendly”. Golfers of all skill levels will find us challenging, yet very enjoyable. Gently rolling terrain, a mix of hardwoods, 5 ponds, and a small creek will leave you with a strong sense of Northern Michigan golf, without all those “too tough of a course for me” bruises. A friendly professional staff, a well stocked pro shop and a new sandwich and appetizer menu from our snack bar await your visit.

Belvedere Golf Club

Belvedere Golf Club is located in Charlevoix and is one of Michigan’s historic golf venues. “One of the great highlights of golf…is the discovery of the hidden gems along the way. Go to Ireland for Ballybunion and if you are lucky you will happen upon the Dukes. Go to St. Andrews for the Old Course and if you’re lucky you will be pointed toward Crail. Go to Northern Michigan for Bay Harbor and if you are very lucky you will tumble onto Belvedere””….Brian Hewitt, Global Golf Post

Belvedere invites you to experience this historic course like so many other legends of the game have. Legendary golfers like Bobby Jones, Gene Sarazen, Walter Hagen, Tommy Armour, Sam Snead, Ken Venturi and Tom Watson have all been part of the unique history of this course.

Grand Traverse Resort – The Bear

Designed by golf great Jack Nicklaus, The Bear is our best-known golf course and described as one of the toughest in the Midwest. You’ll quickly appreciate this beautiful par 72, links-style course featuring Scottish terraced fairways, tiered greens, deep grassy roughs, moguls, mounds, and deep pot bunkers. Lakes, ponds, hardwood forests, streams, and fruit orchards are home to a variety of wildlife that give The Bear its character: golf in the midst of wild nature. Listen to what two of golf’s legends have to say about The Bear:

“The people who play here are going to have a challenge and also have some fun, whatever level of golfer they might be…with rolling land, trees, lakes, streams and flatland, you have a mixture of different features that you rarely see on one course. That’s what makes this course unique. No two holes are similar.” – Jack Nicklaus

“The Bear is one of the great golf courses we play. The thing that makes this course so great is that it can be set up as tough as you want. This course challenges you on every shot. This is the way golf courses should be designed.” – Chi Chi Rodirguez, winner of the 1990 Ameritech Senior Open

The Bear Features

* Bentgrass tees, greens, and fairway
* A challenging 7,078 yd. layout
* Signature hole #13, par-3, 167 yds. from the blue tees, over water

Grand Traverse Resort – The Wolverine

A distinctly Northwoods golf experience, Gary Player designed The Wolverine with each nine offering its own challenges. The course weaves through water and wetlands on the front nine, and highland terrain with hardwoods and views of Grand Traverse Bay greet you on the back nine.

Flexibility, versatility, and playability are built into this unique course, which offers four tees on each hole.

“Seeing one of my courses right next to one designed by my long-time colleague Jack Nicklaus, is a real pleasure. I am equally excited to have created a course in such a beautiful part of the world.”
– Gary Player

“Through numerous tees and varying tee angles to the fairway or green, we can provide challenging courses while still making the course playable for the majority of golfers.”
– Gary Player

The Wolverine features:

* Gary Player signature design
* Bentgrass tees, greens, and fairway
* Par 72, 7,043 yd. layout

The Leelanau Club at Bahle Farms

Leelanau ClubThe Leelanau Club at Bahle Farms features spectacular views of Suttons Bay and Lake Michigan. While varied terrain with hills, woodlands, water, and strategically placed bunkers offer a memorable round of golf. The entry way and two holes (#13 and #16) are situated among working cherry orchards, just ripe for the picking in July while golfers plan their strategy to the green.

The Leelanau Club at Bahle Farms has become a golf course people want to play again and again. Undulating greens, tree-lined fairways, and strategically placed bunkers will put a premium on shot making rather than brute strength. Yet, there are a few holes, like #13, a 440 yard par 4, which will require distance as well as direction

The design makes insightful use of the tremendous natural variety of the land. Players will negotiate a myriad of terrain types including ridges, ravines, gullies, orchards, and highland meadows.

Sugar Loaf – The Old Course

Sugar Loaf, steep with golf tradition

Feel the history as you navigate your way around the rolling hills of the golf course. The unique structures and windmills have withstood the test of time and now pave the way for a great Northern Michigan golfing experience.

This classic C.D. Wagstaff designed golf course reflects the architecture of the first half of the 20th Century. Although Wagstaff may not be as well known as a Ross or MacKenzie, “I never hear of clubs wanting to restore their Joe Roseman or C.D. Wagstaff,” Golf Digest course critic, Ron Whitten, once wrote. Put the golf game aside for a moment, enjoy the fragrance of cherry blossoms from nearby orchards, the birds and wildlife that abound from the Northern Michigan surroundings. Or just sit and gaze at the picturesque sunset as it drops behind the Sugar Loaf mountain.
