Bay Harbor Golf Club (Preserve)

Bay Harbor, MI · 0.0 mi away

Bay Harbor in northern Michigan opened in the late 1990s as an Arthur Hills design on the shore of Little Traverse Bay. The property was previously an industrial site tied to a cement operation, and the old quarry workings were kept as golf features. There are three nines: Links, Quarry and Preserve, played in rotating combinations. The Links holes run along bluffs above the bay, the Quarry holes drop into the excavated ground with rock walls in play, and the Preserve holes move inland through woods. The club is semi-private, with public tee times available, and holes sit alongside a resort residential community.

Crooked Tree Golf Club sits on a bluff above Little Traverse Bay near Petoskey, Michigan, part of the Boyne Golf collection of courses. The front nine winds through stands of mature hardwoods, and several holes on the back nine offer views across the bay toward Lake Michigan. The course was designed by Harry Bowers and opened in 1991. In 2013 and 2014, architect Arthur Hills led a renovation of the closing three holes, relocating and rebuilding greens on 16 and 17 and reshaping the 17th and 18th fairways. Crooked Tree is open to the public and is popular with guests staying at Boyne's Inn at Bay Harbor. The course plays to a par of 71, with undulating greens that reward consistent putting. Practice facilities include a full driving range, putting green, and short-game area, and the course operates seasonally in northern Michigan's warmer months.
