Michigan Golf Journal December 2022

Par-3 Courses The renovation and new construction of par 3 courses at resorts is at an all-time high. High-end golf resorts like, Bandon Dunes, Sand Valley, Forest Dunes have added new par-3 courses. BOYNE Resort in Northern Michigan is renovating an older short course to make it more appeasing to their guests that need an emergency nine to settle those daily wagers. BOYNE’s Highland Resort will open their newly renovated par-3 to add yet one more option for their guests. Par-3 courses are the perfect place for beginners and junior golfers to learn the game. Many metropolitan golf courses have a par-3 configuration and families are finding that time spent on a shorter par-3 golf course makes for an enjoyable family outing. Nine-Hole Courses It is not a requirement to play 18 holes every time to enjoy time on a golf course. If a golfer should choose to walk, nine holes provides between 1.5 and 2 miles of exercise, just right to get those 10,000 steps into your daily fitness routine.
