Bay Harbor Golf Club on Lake
Michigan won a Gold Medal for Overall
Excellence from GOLF Magazine.
Michigan’s temperate summers and dawn-to-dusk golf
make the Great Lakes State a worthy destination
T
he natural instinct of Mid-Atlantic golfers looking for vacation rounds is to head south.
Seven or eight months out of the year, that may be the only option.
However, Michigan gives players reason to head north each summer. The mystique of
warm-weather golf in a land typically buried under feet of snow during the winter is a driving
force all its own. But after the spring thaw, visitors to the Great Lakes State start seeing that its outdoor
life is starting to draw more and more from out-of-area. When it comes to golf, Michigan is no slouch
despite a relatively recent run of new-age courses.
