Wee Par 3 Course
Lakewood Shores Golf Club

About this course
Wee Par 3 is a short executive course at Lakewood Shores Golf Club in Oscoda, Michigan, designed by Kevin Aldridge. The course offers an alternative to the club's full-length championship layout, providing a more accessible option for players seeking a quick round or a warm-up venue. As a par-3 course, it emphasizes shot-making precision and club selection over distance, making it suitable for golfers of varying skill levels and ages. The course is situated in the northern Michigan landscape characteristic of the Oscoda area, where sandy soils and mixed forest typify the region's natural terrain. Aldridge's design works with this topography to create variety across the short holes, likely incorporating the elevation changes and natural features common to courses in this part of the state. The routing and hole designs reflect the architect's approach to compact course design, where strategic bunkering, water features, and green complexes create interest despite the shorter yardages. Wee Par 3 functions as part of the broader Lakewood Shores experience, allowing members and guests to enjoy multiple rounds or practice different aspects of their game within the same facility. The course serves the practical role many executive layouts fill in club portfolios: providing flexibility in play options while maintaining the quality and design standards expected at the resort.

Getting there
The journey to Lakewood Shores Golf Club unfolds across the quiet upper reaches of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, most conveniently accessed via a two-hour drive north from Traverse City's Cherry Capital Airport (TVC), or roughly three hours from the larger hub of Detroit Metropolitan (DTW) to the south. The route carries you through gradually thinning forest and alongside the Au Sable River valley, the landscape shifting from rolling farmland into the dense pine and birch country that defines this corner of northeastern Michigan. As you approach Oscoda on the shores of Lake Huron, the air itself seems to cool and clarify, and the final miles wind past quiet waterfront communities before arriving at the club's secluded grounds - a sanctuary of manicured fairways and natural dune terrain that feels genuinely removed from the ordinary world.
