Crooked Tree Golf Club, Boyne, Bay Harbor, MI

Golfed here as part of our Bay Harbor package.  Loved this course!  Will definitely golf here again.  The good:  course was in great condition with wide fairways and nice greens. The bad: the mosquitos were awful...we sprayed ourselves, the carts and our bags and we stayed away from the woods where the swarmed you!  The guys weren't so lucky...they were often in or near the woods and were attacked. The weather wasn't really good but we weren't rained on.  I'd love to play this course in nice weather. In fact, there were cottages along one of the holes that looked like really nice places to stay.  There was a lot of variation in the holes, sand, water, trees, ravines, elevations, etc. Another bad thing is we weren't able to golf holes 17 or 18 because they were doing some "remodeling" so I really need to go back!

Bay Harbor Golf Club, Boyne, Bay Harbor, MI

Truly a "bucket list" course.  I'm so happy I was finally able to golf this course, even though it was not a very nice day.  We golfed the Links and the Quarry.  The Links was a bit choppy while the Quarry was very open.  The scenery on both courses was very nice but we had much better views on the Quarry.  The course was in great condition even though we had such a rough winter and spring.  The Links was much more forgiving for women but a little harder for men because they had to be careful of club selection.  The Quarry was much harder for women because the course was actually built in a quarry with a lot of elevations, water and ravines.  Loved both courses.  We never did see a cart girl but that might have been cause the weather was bad.  The staff was really nice and the clubhouse was beautiful.  We didn't eat here but would like to in the future.  It was very expensive to golf here but given the opportunity to golf here again, I would.  I would love to see it on a nice day.

I didn't golf very well so I'd like to golf here on a nicer day and see if it makes a difference.
