Fantastic Golf Options
AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER are the perfect
months to venture to northern Michigan and
sample the wealth of golf available a
Resort near Gaylord. When the temperature
and humidity begin to rise in Toledo, Treetops
Resort features cooler weather and beautiful
surroundings.
The resort offers five courses that will satisfy
even the most discerning golf aficionado. The
Masterpiece is a Robert Trent Jones design
which used the natural valleys and ravines
to carve out its classic routing. The signature
6th hole features a 120’ vertical drop from the
tee and a panoramic view of the Pigeon River
Valley.
The Premier Course is a
par-72 and is the only Tom
Fazio designed golf course
in Michigan. The natural
elevation also allows for
spectacular views.
It can be stretched to 6,800 yards, but is
probably best played from the Blue tees at
6,287 or the Whites at 5,857. The Ladies can
also have an enjoyable day on the links from
the Red tees at 5,039.
The Signature Course is a 6,653 yard par-70,
designed by Rick Smith and opened for play in
1993. It is more of an upland course offering
wide fairways and undulating greens.
The Tradition pays homage to the great links
courses in Scotland with traditional wooden
pins and pennant flags. It was also designed by
Rick Smith, opened for play in 1997 and plays
to 6,467 yards with a par of 70.
Perhaps the most intriguing course at Treetops
is the par-3 Threetops course. It is a
1.400 yard par-27, nine-hole course,
but severe elevation changes and
challenging greens make it a must-
play for anyone visiting the
resort.
