Michigan (Lower Peninsula)
Michigan offers a vast spread of public golf courses. Bay Harbor Golf Club offers scenic bay views at virtually all holes while Robert Trend Jones Sr's Masterpiece course at the well-regarded Treetops resort makes the most of the natural landscape of valleys, plains and ravines. During your exploration of Grand Rapids' abundant natural beauty and electric nightlife, reserve the afternoon(s) for the championship layout at Thousand Oaks Golf Club or challenging, nationally-ranked course at Tullymore Golf Resort.
