The Moor Course
Boyne Highlands Resort




About this course
The Moor, nestled within Boyne Highlands in Harbor Springs, Michigan, presents a strategic golfing experience defined by risk-reward opportunities at every turn. Built in the late 1960s, this relatively modern design unfolds across rolling northern Michigan terrain. Architect William Newcomb crafted a course that embraces the natural contours of the land. Expect generous fairways that reward aggressive play, though strategically placed bunkers and subtle undulations around the green complexes ensure a thoughtful approach to scoring. This is not a course for the faint of heart; bold lines off the tee can lead to shorter approaches, but errant shots are quickly punished. While not nationally lauded, The Moor provides a stern, yet fair, test of golf. Beyond the course, Boyne Highlands is renowned for its vibrant atmosphere. The resort's Scottish roots are subtly woven into the experience, with hearty fare and warm hospitality the norm after a round.

Getting there
The journey to Boyne Highlands Resort begins at either Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County (DTW), roughly three and a half hours south, or the smaller Cherry Capital Airport (TVC) in Traverse City, which cuts the drive to just under an hour through the rolling orchard country of northern Michigan. The final stretch winds north along the Lake Michigan shoreline before turning inland toward Harbor Springs, where dense hardwood forests give way to the resort's sprawling alpine-style lodges perched above Little Traverse Bay. For those arriving by private aircraft, Pellston Regional offers a discreet gateway just twenty minutes from the property, delivering guests directly into the quiet grandeur of Michigan's northernmost golf country without the summer crowds of the coastal towns below.
