Our northern Michigan golf courses showcase sweeping shoreline bluffs, dunes, rugged rock formations and verdant woodlands converge in the form of three nine-hole courses on the banks of Lake Michigan’s Little Traverse Bay. Each golf course possesses a distinct character and flavor that challenge every skill level.

Designed by Arthur Hills, the three ‘nines’ are all paired with a different finishing nine, forming three championship 18 hole routings. These combinations are The Links and The Quarry; The Quarry and The Preserve; The Preserve and The Links. Play your favorite or challenge all of Arthur’s 27!

The Links
Reminiscent of great Irish seaside courses. Miles of Lake Michigan shoreline form a backdrop for this incomparable beauty, accented with towering bluffs and dunes.

The Quarry
Already on the list of the world’s most unique, The Quarry winds its way around and through an immense shale quarry, complete with a 40-foot gorge, stone cliffs, natural ponds and a gentle waterfall.

The Preserve
This natural beauty is a haven for wildlife and golfers alike. Stately hardwoods tower over lush grasses, wildflowers and wetlands- all within earshot of Lake Michigan’s shores.

The Crooked Tree Golf Club is perched on bluffs high above Bay Harbor and near Petoskey Michigan.

The course was sculpted from centuries-old hardwoods, and the back nine opens to breathtaking views of Little Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan.

Though it is the shortest of the BOYNE courses, blind shots and incredible greens will challenge and delight you all the way through your round.
