Heading from St. Louis in June to Michigan with 8 guys.  Group went to Treetops last year and loved it.  Wanted to try new courses this year and we have pretty much settled on one of three resorts:  Shanty Creek, Lakewood Shores, and Gull Lake View.  If anyone has any advice please let me know.  Thanks in advance.

We have played the family of courses at  Gull Lake for 24 years now.  Really enjoy it and they are pretty easy to deal with.  Our group has grown from 8 to now 20 guys.

I would rank them: Gull Lake, Shanty, Lakewood as far as a combination of accessibility, cost and quality of golf.  Shanty has the best golf courses but you are traveling a greater distance and the cost is higher. Lakewood is a decent place and "the Gailes" is a unique attempt at Scottish golf.  Still, it would be a solid #3 on my list.

If travel time and cost was irrelevant, I would go to Shanty and play The Legend, Cedar River and Schuss.

@bkuehn1952 advise is pretty good.   I would avoid  Lake Shore.   The Gailes at Lake Shore is a links style course but traveling that far to play it may not be worth the drive.   I would avoid the other courses at Lake Shore.   The Dream and the Nightmare near West Branch,  Forest Dunes, The Loop near Roscommon are much better selections.

    • I watched that video a few days ago. I chuckled at him saying it is so much easier to set up than plopping a GC3 down and turning it on. I love how he did his test hitting AlmostGolf balls, too. 🤦🏼‍♂️ Do I think this is remotely accurate? No. It's measuring ball speed. It's not getting spin or anything like that. Certainly not in dim conditions outside at night.
    • Has anyone tried this? Just came across it. 
    • Actually through BlueGolf the 9-hole calculation is still the old version. There's other issues to apply, I guess might be the BlueGolf system that is not updated yet. The other thing I have doubt, is where can I find in the rules of handicapping information about Modified Handicap with a capital letter on the side "M", these capital letters still aplies ? Other doubt, do you know any system that the player can post the score, and for peer review the partners can validate the score as marker on the app or system of handicap? Best. 
    • I recently conducted an interview with Fred Couples on behalf of Questions For Cancer Research.  Below, I've posted a link to Part I and we'll soon be releasing Part II.  Enjoy! Chris O'Gorman  
    • I can't access the Brazil Golf organization's information, perhaps you can tell us what you think its being done wrong.  I do know that lots of people were confused with the new method of "completing" 9-hole rounds based on "expected score" for the unplayed holes.
