The Quest, Houghton Lake, MI



We haven't golfed here in over a year but we do like this course. It's in nice condition, reasonably priced with just the right amount of challenge. It was a little slow this time...we were behind some elderly gentleman who did the whole 18. There was a threesome of women behind us who were quite good and we felt kind of sandwiched in. It was quite hot also so that didn't help. But we'll also go back to The Quest.

Grand Bend Ontario, Canada

Stayed in the resort here for two nights and golfed two days. Unfortunately, there was a big storm earlier in the week and 4 of the holes on the course were closed. We were able to golf on as many and whatever holes we wanted to. The first day we golfed was quite cold but the next day was much better. The first and tenth tees were on a patio by the clubhouse which was elevated so they were lots of fun. The course was kind of short with shorter holes which called for a lot of strategy. We liked the rooms which had nice patios and a little gazebo room at the end of the hall where we played cards. The resort had a nice indoor pool with an indoor and an outdoor whirlpool. It was in walking distance to the beach through a really nice neighborhood. The clubhouse and the dining room was quite nice. There wasn't much nearby but the "main" street was quite cute with some really nice restaurants & bars. Would love to go back with the Matildas.

Rattle Run, Clair, MI



We golfed here on the way to Canada. Nice course, in good condition. But a hard course also - quite long. We enjoyed this course and will golf it again, I hope, even though it's far from home.
