Gaylord

America’s Summer Golf Capital

The golf destination that is America’s Summer Golf Capital is Gaylord, home to five distinctive golf resorts, 387 holes of world-class golf and 20 premium lodging facilities.

Anchoring the Gaylord Golf Mecca is Treetops Resort– a foursome of courses that has no rival in Michigan: Tom Fazio’s Premier, Robert Trent Jones’ Masterpiece, Rick Smith’s Signature and Tradition courses, and the famed Par 3 Threetops. There’s a reason the Michigan Golf Course Owners Association recognized Treetops as Michigan’s Course of the Year in 2006: dedication to excellence. No destination in the state is more committed to the game, including improving yours.

A short drive east of Treetops is Garland Resort, working mightily to stand every bit the equal to Treetops, and rightfully so. Garland’s tucked-in-the-woods lodging accommodations are a pure Northern Michigan experience not to be equaled, as are their four courses: Swampfire, Fountains, Monarch and Reflections. Each course has undergone upgrades over the past year. Expect superb playing conditions.

Otsego Club & Resort, home to The Tribute and The Classic, embraces nearly two square miles of forest and wetlands in which the Pigeon and Sturgeon Rivers flow. You won’t find more scenic views of Northern Michigan or more enjoyable, well-conditioned courses to tee it up.

Marsh Ridge Resort and Beaver Creek, home to Arnold Palmer’s The Natural, are two more golf/lodging destinations that wholly complement the Mecca golf experience.

Another popular connection for all that is golf in the Mecca is Pine Cone Accommodations. They offer daily and weekly rentals via condos, lakefront cottages, cabins and fine homes. Pine Cone cannot only set up play at all the resorts but can accommodate small and large groups at other Mecca courses: Black Bear, Black Forest, Michaywe, Elk Ridge, Black Lake, Wilderness Valley, Marsh Ridge, Mountain Lake, and Gaylord CC.
