I caught myself about 7 holes in a row on the back 9 saying "wow what a cool hole". Absolute must play if you're in Northern Michigan. Very old school. Downside is there's no marking around the course so at times it's hard to know where to aim or what a hole does.

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.
