TREETOPS RESORT
🇺🇸 Gaylord, MI, USA
Designed by Robert Trent Jones Sr.


The Jones Masterpiece at Treetops Resort is a monument to risk and reward, a challenge so compelling that even its architect, Robert Trent Jones Sr., considered it among his proudest late-career creations. Set amidst the rolling, forested terrain of northern Michigan near Gaylord, the course is a modern parkland design that entices players with dramatically elevated tee boxes and plunging fairways, demanding strategic shot-making over brute force. Long carries and cleverly positioned bunkers punish indecision, while the undulating greens require a deft touch.
Jones, known for his bold designs, fully utilized the dramatic elevation changes to create a visually stunning and mentally taxing layout. Its most talked about hole, #6, is 200+ yards downhill par 3.
While not a regular stop for major championships, The Jones Masterpiece has earned a reputation as a demanding yet fair test of golf, attracting a dedicated following of golfers seeking a memorable and picturesque round. The course is known locally for its hearty post-round fare, including smoked whitefish dip, a regional delicacy enjoyed by members and guests alike.
