About this course

Arthur Hills at Boyne Highlands, cradled in the rolling terrain of Harbor Springs, Michigan, offers a challenging but fair test of golf amidst the scenic beauty of the northern Lower Peninsula. Carved from a landscape that combines wooded hillsides with open meadows, the course presents a strategic blend of shot-making opportunities. Opened in the late 20th century, Hills' design leverages the natural contours of the land to create engaging variety, with a mix of demanding par 4s and reachable par 5s. The layout favors a strategic approach, rewarding players who carefully consider their options off the tee rather than simply bombing it. Expect doglegs that tempt risk-reward shots, elevated greens that demand precise distance control, and bunkering that adds both visual appeal and strategic importance. While not a championship venue in the traditional sense, Arthur Hills at Boyne Highlands provides a memorable golfing experience for players of all skill levels. The course reflects its architectural era with an emphasis on playability and enjoyment, offering a delightful contrast to the more demanding layouts found elsewhere in the region. Post round, members and guests alike savor the warm hospitality Boyne is known for, perhaps enjoying a hearty meal in the clubhouse while recounting the highlights of their round.

Getting there

The journey to Boyne Highlands Resort typically begins at Gerald R. Ford International Airport in Grand Rapids, roughly two and a half hours south, or for those seeking a shorter drive, the regional Pellston Regional Airport lies just twenty minutes to the north. Private arrivals often favor Pellston's quiet tarmac, offering a discreet gateway to Michigan's storied northern resort country. The route north traces the eastern shore of Lake Michigan before turning inland through rolling hardwood forests and orchard-dotted hills, the landscape gradually opening to reveal the dramatic ridgelines and glacial valleys that define the Harbor Springs highlands - a fitting prelude to one of the Midwest's most enduring four-season retreats.
