Golf courses in Bark River, MI.

Bark River, MI

Sage Run Golf Course is located in Bark River in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, part of the Island Resort and Casino property operated by the Hannahville Indian Community. Paul Albanese designed the course, which opened in 2018 on a 300-acre site centered on a large drumlin, a long ridge left behind by glaciers. The routing repeatedly engages the drumlin, sending holes up, down, across, and along it from different directions, and moves through pine scrub, open prairie-like ground, and hardwood forest. It complements the resort's earlier Albanese design, Sweetgrass, though the two courses have distinctly different characters. Sage Run is open for public play. It plays to a par of 72 with back-tee yardage in the mid-7,000s, and hosts a college tournament each Labor Day weekend.
