As an all in experience I don't know how you can beat Arcadia Bluffs, one of the most beautiful places in Michigan. Some of my favorites Up North would have to be Hidden River, The Bear at GTR, the Boyne courses, and to go out with buddys for a good time on an OK course Little Traverse Bay.
In Metro Detroit/ East Lansing Area: Sheppard's Hollow is great and contrary to a previous post Ive never had any problems there (except for lost balls and scores), Field Stone in Auburn Hills is decent, if you can get on at the DGC or OHCC dont pass, Eagle Eye and Forest Akers West are great courses, best value courses Rackhem (Hackem) is a Donald Ross munni course by the Detroit Zoo and up in EL College Fields is a poorly timed housing development course that is really cheap semi decent course...
but yeah i love golf and saving money so ill pretty much go anywhere with a good twilight rate.
