Garland Resort

Reflections, at Garland Resort near Lewiston, whispers of Northern Michigan golf in its purest form: a reminder of the game’s enduring appeal. Designed by Ron Otto, the course presents a blend of parkland aesthetics and strategic shot-making demands across gently rolling terrain. The layout offers an intriguing test, rewarding thoughtful approaches with wide fairways that invite assertive drives. However, errant shots are penalized by strategically placed bunkers and undulating greens that demand a deft touch. It is the kind of course where fading the ball off the tee can set up easier approaches into some of the par 4s, but be wary: the course does ask the players to bend it both ways, testing players on the regular. While not a championship venue on the national stage, Reflections has served as a beloved setting for local and regional tournaments, fostering a vibrant community of golfers. The resort is also known for its impressive log cabin lodging and is very popular among family outings.
