Loop - Red Course
Forest Dunes Golf Club


About this course
The Loop at Forest Dunes, a revolutionary concept in Roscommon, Michigan, is a testament to reversible golf, offering two distinct 18-hole experiences on the same routing. Designed by Tom Doak and opened in 2016, The Loop flips daily between the Red and Black routings, challenging golfers to consider angles and approaches from entirely different perspectives. The terrain at Forest Dunes is characterized by sandy soil and rolling hills, lending itself perfectly to the links-style feel of The Loop. Playing the Red Loop requires navigating firm, fast fairways and strategic bunkering, favoring a ground game and creative shot-making. While not host to major championships, the course has garnered attention for its innovative design and the unique mental challenge it presents. The Loop at Forest Dunes isn't vying for the mantle of a national icon, but it carves out a distinct identity for itself within the golf landscape. Its reversible nature is a talking point in the golf world, and it also fosters a sense of camaraderie among those who appreciate a departure from the traditional golfing experience. The club is known for its relaxed atmosphere, where golfers often gather after their rounds to debate the merits of each day's routing, often over a local craft beer and the club's popular "Michigan Dog".
