Golf Days Are Getting Shorter in Michigan FRED ALTVATER PUBLISHER Back 9 Media Group Also Publishes: Ohio Golf Journal Indiana Golf Journal Back 9 Report September is the beginning of the end of the 2023 golf season in Michigan, but there is still plenty of time to get your appointed rounds in before the weather becomes cold. In this issue we highlight several courses around Michigan that are currently engaged in renovations. The golf industry has seen a gigantic increase since the COVID pandemic. Resort and course owners are putting money back into their properties to make even better golf experiences going forward. With weather becoming cooler in Michigan, golfers may want to consider heading to Pinehurst, the ‘Home of American Golf.’ Tom Doak has begun work on the 10th course at Pinehurst and the resort is finalizing plans for the 2024 U.S. Open that will return to the North Carolina sandhills next year. If you are thinking about heading farther south, Brian Weis writes about five things to know to plan a golf trip to Northeastern Florida. Ed Travis explains that because the PGA and PGA Tour are not backing the USGA’s proposed golf ball rollback, the proposed rule change may be DOA. I had the chance to play the Tradition course at Treetops and it is a real joy. Check out the unique dining opportunity at Treetops coming October 6,7 and 13. We also visited Pennsylvania’s Nemacolin Woodlands Resort last month and we came away very impressed. It is a first-class destination in every respect. Two Pete Dye classics await golfers, but there is every amenity and activity available for every family member to have a wonderful experience at Nemacolin. We are trying to get in several rounds in Northern Michigan and we hope we see you on the Back 9 of your favorite course. Michigan Golf Journal
