This is an 18-hole, par-72 course sprawled across 200 breathtaking acres of the Ottawa National Forest.

Also in Michigan, just a short drive from Land O’ Lakes, is the Lac Vieux Desert Resort Casino & Golf Course. When you play here, you’ll golf two states in one game! This par-37 course runs from Land O’ Lakes right into the towering pines of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Gateway Golf Club is a challenging nine-hole course. Here you can choose from seven unique courses, situated in the heart of the Northwoods. There’s something special about playing a round of golf to the cry of an eagle and the enchanting call of a loon. The air is clear, the scenery is spectacular and the moments you experience are unforgettable.

There’s a reason why people golf in the Land O’ Lakes area and it’s something that you can only fully understand when you play these courses.

You take a breath of the clean woodland air and know you’ve come to the right place. The crack of your club echoes briefly as you watch your ball bounce across the beautifully manicured terrain. There’s a moment on the course when the sun breaks through the pines, the dew is thick and there’s still a bit of fog lingering at the forest edge.
