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.   

From the land of perpetual cloudiness.   I'm Denny

      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.
