Championship course setting in a vacation spot on Lake Michigan. What more can I say. Challenging course to say the least with water, carry ranges and large greens all bunkered. You had better bring some extra golf balls but that is the fun of the course. I always schedule a couple groups from Crown Point to make the trip and play this location. They always go away loving the course. We always play this course at least 3-4 times each season even though we are over an hour away. In addition, they extend to our seniors great rates and show us that they care when we arrive.
The pro shop and clubhouse indicates a championship course and the grill and restaurant is Chicago downtown quality. We are already planning on playing the course in the next few weeks.
Why can this course be so inviting in a vacation spot setting? Because most play and visit during the weekends when all rates are high. Love this course.
Would travel: 60-120 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Ranks with the best in this price level, Best course in the area
