    Lots of challenging shots and fun undulating greens makes for a fun day. You can play away from a few pins and still end up by the hole. Lots of elevation changes as well as some beautiful views of Traverse Bay.

    Conditions are usually decent, layout is fun but nothing spectacular. I prefer the monument over the Alpine, but just my opinion.

How we rank

This ranking uses published scorecard data from each course’s longest men’s tees, the same tee set for every course. Only 18-hole courses with a yardage for every hole, a total that matches the hole-by-hole sum, and a par between 54 and 80 are included. Courses whose scorecard duplicates another course’s are left out until the data is fixed. Courses are ordered by total yardage, then slope rating, then Course Vaults score. Only open courses with a published Course Vaults score (at least 5 explicit ratings) are eligible, and a page is published only when at least 5 courses qualify. City pages include courses within about 25 miles of Bellaire, so nearby suburbs can appear. Rankings refresh about hourly.
