There's the Classic Golf Course, a walkable course to go with a more dramatic mountain course.įorest Dunes: Now home to 36 holes - or, 54 when you consider the reversible Loop course alternates directions each day - Forest Dunes is aiming to attract more golf groups to stay a night or two. Otsego Club: An old stalwart of the north particularly known for its ski club, it's a low-key option in the heart of downtown Gaylord. They also just opened a handful of four-bedroom cottages. The Lodge at Arcadia Bluffs: Michigan's top-ranked public course built a second floor on its clubhouse a few years ago to add 15 rooms overlooking the links and sunset over Lake Michigan. It's tough to narrow it down to just ten resorts in northern Michigan. The Lodge at Arcadia Bluffs is located at the original course about 1.5 miles up the road from the South Course.
