The Homestead Resort in Glen Arbor
This nine hole resort course is unique in that the golf facility shares the same area as the ski layout during their respective seasons. The golf layout is hilly in design, with a large amount of trees. There are great elevation changes overall, which places an emphasis on club selection. With the severe elevation disparity there are breathtaking views of surrounding Lake Michigan, the Manitou Passage and North and South Manitou Lakes. With its small greens and short yardage, this course is directed toward the target golfer. One of the more difficult holes on the course is #9, a 196-yard, par 3, which features a tee box that sets ninety-five feet above the green. Because of the significant differential in height, the green has a tendency to appear closer than it really is. Trees funnel as the green nears, adding to the challenge of this hole.
