About this course

Ye Olde Country Club sits in Roscommon, a small town in the northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan, roughly midway between Grayling and Houghton Lake. This region of Michigan features rolling terrain shaped by glacial activity, with sandy soils, stands of pine and hardwood, and numerous inland lakes. The area supports several golf courses that cater to both local residents and seasonal visitors drawn to the region's outdoor recreation opportunities. The course occupies terrain typical of northern Michigan golf properties, where natural elevation changes and wooded corridors define the playing corridors. Courses in this part of the state generally incorporate the native landscape into their routing, with fairways carved through forest and greens that take advantage of the rolling topography. The sandy soil provides good drainage and firm conditions during the summer months. Roscommon sits along the I-75 corridor that connects Detroit to the Straits of Mackinac, making it accessible to golfers traveling through Michigan's north country. The town and surrounding area have long served as a destination for fishing, hunting, and summer recreation, with golf forming part of the seasonal activity mix. Ye Olde Country Club functions as a community course within this recreational landscape, offering golf in a setting characteristic of Michigan's forested interior.

Getting there

Most visitors arrive via Cherry Capital Airport in Traverse City, roughly ninety minutes northwest, though Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County offers a broader gateway some three hours south. The drive north from Detroit traces I-75 through the heart of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, gradually shedding suburban sprawl for dense stands of jack pine and hardwood as you approach the Houghton Lake region. The final miles into Roscommon unfold along quiet two-lanes where the forest presses close and the air carries the scent of cedar and fresh water, delivering you to one of the state's oldest and most enduring golf sanctuaries with little fanfare and considerable charm.
