Lake Tahoe vs northern Michigan for June golf trip

[Gregormendal]

Looking to stay 7 days. Trying to keep most green fees under $100. Except one or two nicer places. Plan to play at least 5 or 6 different courses. Handicap just under 10. As I said playing in June. Thanks!

You will be by yourself?  Do you wish to have access to a slightly more urban area (e.g. Traverse City) and/or casinos?  Or is the primary purpose to play golf, eat, sleep and play golf?

You'll never go wrong with golf around the Gaylord area.   Treetops (5 courses), The Loon, Natural, etc.   It's less than an hour drive to Forest Dunes from Gaylord.    Garland Lodge and Golf Resort is only about 40 minutes from Gaylord.   They have four courses on property.   Boyne is only about 35 minutes from Gaylord and there are at least 10 courses in the area.  I don't think you can go wrong if you are looking for a variety.

I have to agree on Northern MI.  I would also suggest making a stop at Arcadia Bluffs, it is pricy but a bucket list course.

I would say hit Arcadia Bluffs on your way up to Boyne Highlands.  they have a beautiful resort with 4 courses to choose from.

Well, we may never know where "Gregor" decided to play, or if he (she?) made the trip in June.

too bad, it's always interesting to hear other people's opinion about the golf in northern Michigan.  Of course, we may be bias.

The decision for me would be a no brainer...

Yeah that's pretty also.  

For me, Tahoe is flat out amazing as far as scenery goes.  Just my opinion.

It's a mystery that will plague me for the rest of my life.

Doesn't signing up to become a member of a golf forum seem like a lot of effort just for a single time asking complete strangers where to take a golf vacation?

I blame you Brian. Your initial reply was uncalled for.

Yes, I tend to have that effect.  When I walk into a party, everyone starts to leave.
