Crystal Mountain Resort - Betsie Valley

Beulah, MI · 8.5 mi away

Champion Hill Golf Course sits on about 350 acres of hills east of Beulah in Benzie County, Michigan. Lee Stone and Jim Cole designed the course, which opened in 2000 on former orchard and tree farm ground. It is an open, links-style layout with rolling bluegrass fairways, heather, deep-faced bunkers and raised, contoured greens. From the higher holes you can see Lake Michigan, Crystal Lake and the Platte Lakes. The second hole plays to an old apple tree in the fairway. It plays 6,294 yards at par 72 from the blue tees. Champion Hill is open to the public and is about 15 miles from Crystal Downs, which makes it an easy add to a Benzie County trip.

Benzonia, MI · 8.7 mi away

Pinecroft Golf Course overlooks Crystal Lake in Benzonia, Michigan, on land the Stone family had farmed for fruit and Christmas trees since the early 1900s. Lee Stone, with Jim Cole, Andy Norman, and Craig Carlson, designed and built the course, which opened in 1991 and remains family owned and operated. The 18-hole layout follows the area's natural topography with rolling hills, narrow tree-lined fairways, and undulating greens, along with lake views from parts of the course. Amenities include a driving range, putting green, club rentals, and a self-serve snack counter. Pinecroft is a public course open for daily-fee play.

Arcadia, MI · 12 mi away

The Dozen at Arcadia Bluffs is a 12-hole short course arranged as two six-hole loops. Its mix of par threes and par fours offers a quicker, more social alternative to the resort's two full-length courses, while broad landing areas, large greens and strategic bunkers still leave room for different lines and shots. The flexible format lets golfers play six or 12 holes. The Porch serves as The Dozen's day clubhouse, with casual food, a screened porch and patio seating. Panoramic views across the short-course property keep the golf in sight and make it an easy stop between loops or after the last hole.
