I’m very interested!! Still in Lansing! Dedicating this years golf season to my late father. Lost him way too early 19 years ago. He was president of our club and the board named the club championship trophy in his honor. Fast forward to 2013, the last year as a private club, and I won the final Championship and got to keep the trophy!
what did you think of it? Im a big fan.I'm playing the Mountain Ridge Course at Crystal Mountain tomorrow morning. I've played the Betsie River course a couple of times, but this will be the first time on the Mountain Ridge.
Try to hit a sim once a month. Putt in the basement. Thats about it.How do all of you handle each "off-season" here in Michigan?? Sim golf? Lessons? Out of town golf trip(s)? Etc...
By central to the lower peninsula what do you mean? Close to Midland or somewhere else?What sort of golf options are there around the central part of lower Michigan (as in not the UP)? Obviously, I mean during the season; not right now.

Just to be clear, Midland is a city in Michigan that is west of Bay City and northwest of Saginaw. Michigan is a big state and I just don't want us giving you suggestions that are like 100 miles away from where you will be. So, I'm trying to get a better sense of where you will be.Yes, central in the lower peninsula. Sorry, I didn't know the proper local terminology.
Pohlcat is a nice course over by Mt Pleasant. The Dream and The Nightmare up by West Branch are good as wellYes, central in the lower peninsula. Sorry, I didn't know the proper local terminology.
Name a city or town near where you will be. It will greatly help to get better recommendations.Yes, central in the lower peninsula. Sorry, I didn't know the proper local terminology.
The Midland area isn't exactly golf Mecca. Having said that Apple Mountain, Spring Valley, and Maple Leaf golf courses are the good courses in that area.
Sorry @brian7770, I haven't played any courses in Midland, but I've played a few on US 127 just a few miles west. Maple Creek (Shepard), Hidden Oaks (Alma) were decent, affordable courses. North Star (a little further south on 127) was just ok but opened up early in the season and was very affordable. I'm not sure what type of golf course you're used to in Ohio, but most of the courses up here are in good shape by May and with many in the $35-$40 price range (includes cart).
It's not real close and I've never played it, but Forest Dunes (Roscommon) is supposed to be a very nice, higher-end course that people speak highly of.
As you get further north and towards the western side of the northern lower peninsula, there are a lot of really nice, open to the public courses I have played. If a 2-3 hours drive is possible, I can give you a few in my neck of the woods - some of which are included in national top 100 lists.
Enjoy your trip!
