Lakes of the North golf course is probably one of the best kept secrets in Northern Michigan. I'm reluctantly posting this review, as I'm certain that sooner than later the secret will be out and many others will come to enjoy this inexpensive, beautifully tucked away course. Recent improvements to the irrigation system give it much more lush, green fairways and tee boxes, with soft, supple greens that are challenging to not only play the right speed, but see the rolls and lines with the sloping. Another great part of coming to play here is that you can grab a drink and a bite to eat without breaking the bank at their restaurant before or after playing.

Again, I almost didn't write the review because I don't want to see my favorite course in Northern Michigan become crazy crowded and hard to get a tee time at, but for now I'll enjoy the more quiet course with a few less people.
