Treetops Resort

The Fazio Premier course at Treetops Resort, carved into the rolling hills of Gaylord, Michigan, is a testament to risk-reward golf in a region known for its demanding layouts. This modern design, crafted by the legendary Tom Fazio, snakes through dramatic elevation changes and thick forests. Fazio Premier is known for its bold design where length rewards the long hitter with a natural draw. While the fairways are generous, errant shots are severely penalized by thick rough and strategically placed bunkers – a testament to the designer’s intention. The undulating greens, often slick, are guarded by run-off areas, demanding precise iron play to score well. While Fazio Premier hasn't hosted major championships, it holds regional significance for its challenging layout, drawing serious golfers from across the Midwest. Its demanding design tests even the most skilled players.
