Tour 18 Golf Course
Humble, TX — The Tom Fazio Premier course at Treetops Resort in Gaylord, Michigan, stands as the sole Michigan design by the globally renowned architect, making it an exceptionally distinctive gem within the state's vibrant golf landscape. Opened in 1992, Fazio's visionary approach was to create a course that seamlessly integrates with the natural contours of the land, thereby offering a harmonious symphony of golf and nature. His distinctive design philosophy profoundly emphasizes strategic play and thoughtful shot-making, ensuring that every hole presents a unique and engaging challenge. The course is celebrated for its dramatic elevation changes and consistently stunning vistas that captivate players throughout their round. The par-4 18th hole is a particularly memorable feature, characterized by visually intimidating fairway bunkers that lead to a well-protected, three-tiered green, demanding a precise and confident finish. Another significant highlight is the par-5 6th, which features an elevated tee shot to a meticulously well-protected green, offering breathtaking panoramic views that are truly unforgettable. The Premier course consistently ranks among Michigan's top public courses, providing a challenging, aesthetically beautiful, and truly unforgettable experience for golfers of all abilities, from novice to expert.

Michigan State University's Forest Akers East Course, one of two championship layouts on campus, offers a compelling collegiate golf experience. While the West Course was redesigned by Arthur Hills, the East Course also reflects a design philosophy focused on creating challenging yet fair play within a natural setting. It is recognized as one of the best public golf courses in Michigan and serves as a home course for the Big Ten champion Michigan State golf programs. The East Course is known for its well-groomed fairways and open, wide layout, making it generally a fast course. However, wind and strategic elements ensure a challenging round. A notable feature is the presence of water guarding or lining the last six holes, culminating in a marquee 17th hole that is a complete island green replica of the TPC Sawgrass 17th. This dramatic finish provides a thrilling test of nerve and precision. Forest Akers East is consistently praised for its excellent conditioning and its state-of-the-art practice facility. Its blend of collegiate history, strategic design, and a memorable island green makes it a highly regarded destination for golfers seeking a top-tier public course experience with a championship feel.
