Well lil Mike and I played at lakes of the north due to rain showers at the natural. It was in good shape. I shot on 84 despite having several 3 putts and 3 double bogeys. It was great to get out with another THP member lil Mike!

Yeah it was fun! Great cooler weather too and no one out there so quick round also! Thanks for the hook up David!
My buddy and I played Birchwood farms in the morning yesterday, what a great course, I shot a 77 from the combo t's. Our afternoon round took us to Boyne Highlands, we played the moor course. I really fell apart in the afternoon. I shot an 88. I had a terrible time getting off the tee because my swing reverted back to the old David with an improper weight shift and reverse C. I had the biggest slice that I've seen in a long time!
The moor course was OK. Not up to the resort type of boyne golf that I remember. Some bad patches in a couple of the fairways and many areas of rough were in terrible shape. We ended up using the 1st T card which got us on for $30. It is well worth that.

My dad was just up with a buddy that has a place at Birchwood for a week - said they are great tracks and he had a blast. Will definitely have to get up there
Jeslous. The new management has done a nice job at Grandview! The best golf I played all year was a Grandview.

Played Lakewood shores this weekend and finished up on the ride home with Red Hawk in East Tawas. Would NOT recommend going to Lakewood Shores, its not well cared for and not worth the trip. The best part was the 18 hole chip and putt they had with the lodging. Red Hawk, though, was an absolute treat and in outstanding condition. Well worth the price and boy did I love the Arthur Hills design. Planning on making a trip back in the fall, will be amazing to see as the colors change.
A real good buddy of mine bought Grandview. It is a dream for him. He really wants to do good with Grandview!
I agree. A big group of us went to Lakewood Shores last year and most of us were not happy with it. We all loved red hawk.
There are some really great courses in that area. I played the monument in Boyne Falls today and it was spectacular.

I’ve heard true north is pretty sick too
That is on my to-do list but haven't made it there yet. I'm playing crystal mountain on the mountain ridge course tomorrow and black Lake in Onaway on Saturday.
I've never stayed there but played it a couple times this year. A great place.

Did you like the Loop or Forest Dunes better?
Forest dunes x100. It's a much better course. The loop is marginal compared to the dunes.

The gal managing it is great. I forget her name but she was always so good with people when she helped Paula. She treated our June group wonderfully!

Any comments on Stonebrdge / AA?
The Loop is an interesting concept, but once you get past that it's way overpriced IMO. Having played all three courses (FD, red and black rotations) I would play Forest Dunes every. single. time.
Good to know. We are planning on 72 holes, so maybe 36 on FD and then both directions of The Loop.
[QUOTE="NateQUOTE]I'll be curious to know what you think of it. Keep us posted and have fun!
