About this course

Monument at Boyne Mountain isn’t just golf; it's a high-altitude challenge woven into the very fabric of northern Michigan's ski country. Carved into the slopes surrounding Boyne Mountain, this Arthur Hills design offers a demanding, visually arresting round where wayward shots are easily swallowed by the surrounding wilderness. Hills, known for his strategic bunkering and routing that tests even seasoned players, sculpted Monument to reward thoughtful play. The elevation changes are dramatic, demanding precise club selection and a solid strike, while strategically placed hazards punish the overly aggressive. The course favors those who can navigate doglegs with accuracy and handle sloping lies with aplomb. While Monument hasn't hosted major championships, it provides a stern test for any golfer, particularly those unaccustomed to the unique demands of mountain golf. It is a popular and challenging draw for those visiting the expansive Boyne Mountain Resort. After a round, many recount stories of near-misses and heroic shots while relishing a hearty meal and the panoramic views from the clubhouse, solidifying Monument's place as a memorable, if humbling, golfing experience.

Getting there

The journey to Boyne Mountain Resort begins at either Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport (DTW) or Gerald R. Ford International in Grand Rapids (GRR), each roughly three hours by car through Michigan's evolving terrain. From either hub, the route north traces a gradual transition from farmland to forest, eventually threading into the lake-dotted highlands of the northern Lower Peninsula. As you approach Boyne Falls, the landscape rises into gentle ridges and the air takes on the crisp, pine-scented character of Michigan's resort country, with the final miles revealing Boyne Mountain's distinctive ski slopes and alpine village clustered at the base of the resort's namesake peak.
