greens, plus the putting and chipping greens, are first class. Steve Heher, Head Professional at Sky Valley told us the course provides many memorable moments. “Sky Valley is a fantastic mountain golf course that winds its way through the valley. It features great views from the elevated tees at the 2nd, 8th, 12th, 15th, and 17th holes. Our signature hole, the par-3 15th, has a 60-foot elevation drop from tee to green.” According to Heher the course is always immaculate and features bent grass from tee to green. “Our superintendent Steve soon recognized by the United States Croquet Association as the 2018 New Club of the Year. Unlike Brigadoon, however, Sky Valley can be enjoyed every day of the year and if you should find you would like a little slice of mountain life for yourself, there are lots available to build your own heaven among the clouds. We felt so at home there that we can’t wait until our next visit to this small community of wonderful people and great golf. To find out more visit: https:// www.skyval leycountryclub. com/. Mason has been here since 2007. He does a great job to keep this course in great shape throughout the year. He and his veteran crew know what they are doing.” Sky Valley is a true country club owned and operated by the membership, but it also offers public play with stay & play packages available. Numerous cabins and cottages along the hillsides surrounding the course offer Airbnb and VRBO rental options, plus the nearby Gateway Inn & Suites, plus the Highlands Inn Lodge also offer golf packages. We found the people, the golf, as well as, the surroundings at Sky Valley to be first-class. There is always something to visit, a new trail to explore, or another birdie to hunt. There’s even an active croquet club. The Country Club designed and installed a championship size croquet lawn in 2018 and was Michigan Golf Journal
