Golf
Northern Michigan has long been a destination for golfers the world over. The glaciers of the last ice age were the ultimate architects of what has become "America's Summer Golf Capitol". The majestic great lakes, shoreline bluffs and rolling forested sand hills left behind yielded a stunning setting uniquely suited for golf. Long summer days and cool Lake Michigan breezes further bolster the scene's appeal.
The Inn at Bay Harbor - A Renaissance Golf Resort is located in the heart of this region and is well established among America's preeminent golf resorts. It's golf offerings include two of the locale's best:
Bay Harbor Golf Club's sweeping shoreline bluffs, dunes, rugged rock formations and verdant woodlands converge to form three nine-hole courses on the shore of Lake Michigan's Little Traverse Bay. The Links, The Quarry, and The Preserve each possess a distinct character while providing risk/reward challenges suitable for golfers of all abilities. This storied course is a classic must-play for any golf devotee.
Crooked Tree Golf Course sits on bluffs high above Bay Harbor and Little Traverse Bay. The rolling course winds through lush hardwood forest, North country meadows and marshland before opening up to expansive views of the Lake Michigan horizon.
