Courses

20 courses

Twenty courses spanning the breadth of golf in the Great Lakes State, from the Upper Peninsula's rocky coastline to the historic clubs of metro Detroit. Crystal Downs and Oakland Hills' South Course headline the top tier — two of America's 100 Greatest, both private and rarely accessible. Arcadia Bluffs sets the resort standard along Lake Michigan's western shore, with both the Bluffs and South Course earning national recognition. Northern Michigan delivers Kingsley Club, Forest Dunes, and the cliff-edge views of Greywalls, while metro Detroit's historic clubs — Bloomfield Hills, Meadowbrook, Orchard Lake, and Franklin Hills — anchor the back half. The trail mixes Golden Age architecture with modern destination resorts, and the path through it requires both planning and patience.
