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.

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.  :-(

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
