Hey TST Members this is my first post and I wanted to get your advice on where to play with my dad on our yearly trip to Michigan.

We are going to play 2 or possibly 3 rounds but if we play 3 we are going to go back to one of the courses we played last year.

For reference we are will to drive anywhere under an hour from New Buffalo and are willing to pay up to 100.00 per person

Here are the options we are considering in no particular order:

Whittaker Woods (Played Last Year)

Warren GC at Notre Dame

Blackthorn GC (Played Last Year)

Angels Crossing GC

Yarrow Golf and Conference

HawksHead Links

Ravines by Arnold Palmer

Harbor Shores GC

The Medalist GC

Stonegate GC

Macatawa Legends Golf & CC

The Brassie

Hickory Stick GC

The Course at Aberdeen

White Hawk CC

The Golf Club at Thronapple Pointe

If you have any other suggestions feel free to leave them as well. We are willing to stretch both limits by alittle if the course is really special

Of the courses listed that I have played here are my rankings

Yarrow

Ravines

Hawkshead

the Medalist

Angels Crossing

Thornapple Pointe

But you are over an hour from New Buffalo at Yarrow, The Medalist, Thornapple Pointe, and Angels crossing

More information would be helpful. Are you basing your stay out of new buffalo? Are you looking for 2 courses on the same day? Separate days?

If looking for 2 courses same day an hour from New Buffalo, I would do Ravines and Hawkshead

Edit: Wanted to add I have heard nothing but good things about Harbor Shores, so that is probably worth a play.. I just recommended Hawkshead and Ravines because I have played both of them and they are close to each other. Also Harbor Shores will run at your limit of 100 per person

In my bag

Driver - c3 bullet 10.5 degree
Woods- c3 bullet 5 wood
Hybrids- 3dx 3 and 4Irons- 3dx 5-pwWedges- Purespin golf tour series gw,sw,lwPutter- antiguaBall - :taylormade: Burner TP

Thanks for the quick response

We are staying about 15 minutes north of New Buffalo in Harbert and we want to play the courses on separate days during the week.

I know Harbor Shores is pushing the limit but I have seen some deals on GolfNow for about $75

    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
    • Hello, I've been playing a Teardrop td17 F.C. putter for many years and love it. It still putts and feels as good or  better than any of the new putters I've tried and it's in excellent condition except the face has dings in it ever since I bought it used that kind of bother me. I was just wondering if it's possible to have some really shallow horizontal grooves milled into the face on a "roll face" putter. I think I would rather spend some money on it instead of trying to get used to a new putter.  Thanks
