Anyone know anything about this course? It looks unbelievable and I'm really interested in getting up to play it. Only problem is, it's practically in Canada, and that makes it difficult to get to from Virginia.

Hi,

I played that course last year. It's unbelieveably beautiful and certainly challenging. I would not recommend it for the novice golfer but definitely worth the visit....just don't hit your ball in Lake Michigan.....LOL!

Played it last summer, it is truly incredible. The scenery is breaktaking and the layout is spectactular. Btw, if its blowing off the lake, make sure to bring your knockdown game!!!

As far as travel goes, you could always fly into Traverse City (connections through Detroit), and its about an hour drive from there.

In case anyone hasn't played it, it made the "Best Places to Play" list in the May 2006 issue of Golf Digest....quite an accolade!

Make the trip by all means. I have played the great courses in Ireland--Ballybunion, Lahinch etc--- this is as close as you can get to that type of
golf.

The greens are very demanding but the experience is the best.

It was so good that my wife and I decided to buy a new home less than 4 miles from the course so we can enjoy it for years to come.

Lodging does not exist near the course but by driving a few miles you can find suitable lodging and some very good golf.

Make the trip for sure!!

This fall I'm playing the same three AB, Kingsley and CD. Any advice? Or a 4th course to add?

There's really so much to choose from in the area... The Bear at Grand Traverse Resort is worth looking at.

Bay Harbor is also top notch. but the list goes on and on... depends what type course you want to play. There are literally dozens and dozens of courses in NW Michigan that deserve a look.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.
