Tullymore Golf Resort

Tullymore Golf Course opened in 2001 as part of a northern Michigan golf resort development, designed by Jim Engh. The course occupies rolling, forested terrain characteristic of the region between Cadillac and Traverse City, with elevation changes and natural corridors carved through dense stands of hardwoods and pines. Engh, known for dramatic and visually striking designs in mountain settings elsewhere, brought his sculptural approach to this Michigan landscape, creating bold bunkering, pronounced contours, and memorable visual elements throughout the routing. The course plays through varied topography that includes elevated tee shots, approach shots to greens set against wooded backdrops, and several holes that move through open meadow areas contrasting with the forested sections. Water features appear on multiple holes, and the green complexes feature significant undulation and creative shaping. The design emphasizes strategic options and visual drama, with bunkers often shaped into artistic forms and positioned to frame landing areas and greens. Tullymore operates as a daily-fee facility and serves as one of several courses in the Stanwood area that draw golfers to this part of northern Michigan during the season. The property includes lodging and dining amenities typical of a golf resort. The course has developed a reputation for its distinctive aesthetic and challenging design, appealing to golfers seeking a visually engaging experience in a northern Michigan forest setting.
