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 134 (26 Apr 24) - played Minnesott today, worked with the mid-irons and approaches (especially the 7i).  Scoring was a little higher, but I was focused on making the needed adjustments to the swing to achieve desired distances.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
