Lastly, Sundance is hugged by Torch Lake and Lake Michigan with beautifully sculpted greens.

Tullymore Golf Resort has the unique golf experience. Two 18-hole courses immersed in midwestern beauty will entice even the most elite.

When it comes to describing this resort, “grand” may be the most appropriate adjective. 900 acres of rolling green lawns, lush woodlands, and powdery beaches await at this lakeside oasis. A large portion of the green is in the form of The Bear golf course, a masterful Jack Nicklaus concoction that - with its tiered greens, deep grassy roughs, and seemingly bottomless pot bunkers - is widely regarded as the toughest course in Michigan. After an exciting day on the course, relax at the onsite spa.

Featuring a quartet of championship golf courses, this resort brings a whole new meaning to the golf term “fore.” Swing away on any of the four courses; Fountains, Reflections, Swampfire, and Monarch all offer elite links experiences with signature holes.

UAW Black Lake's close proximity to Black Lake Golf Club means that it's ridiculously easy to wake up, grab your clubs, and hit the links!

When designer extraordinaire Rees Jones created Black Lake Golf Club, he did so with then intention of not just having two or three so-called signature holes, but to make EVERY hole worthy of the front cover of a magazine. That is just one of the reasons that the course was placed #44 in Golf Digest’s “100 Greatest Public Courses in America” in May 2012 and placed #9 in the Best Value category. Bring your friends, family, or just yourself and experience one of the best courses in Michigan!
