Traverse City Michigan. Some of the best courses you will ever play. A friend of mine has a cabin up near Shanty Creek Resort and they have 3 courses all right there, then one of my all time favorite courses Hawks Eye. If you have not been to northern Michigan in the summer and your golfer, you are missing out. Then, when your not golfing you can go rent a pontoon boat and go see one of the most beautiful lakes in the world, Torch Lake. It is like you are in the Caribbean.
