although ground-breaking is not expected until early 2023. “I’m creating my favorite nine greens from overseas, from Scotland, Ireland and England,’’ said Hearn. “This course will be visually stunning and interesting to play. It won’t have formal tees and it will have varying fairway levels. I want golfers to have the opportunity to put tees anywhere they want so they can practice options from different lies and angles.’’ Finally, The Monument Course at BOYNE Mountain, will also get some tender love and care. “It’s a very nice, enjoyable course,’’ said Hearn, “but the trees on it have gotten bigger and bigger and have started to infringe on the fairways.’’ Fewer trees will allow Hearn to open more angles to increase shot options from the tees and fairways. With ten courses spread over three Michigan resorts, BOYNE has long been a leader in golf while maintaining its similar role among ski resorts. “They’re always looking forward, always thinking of improving. They’re visionaries,’’ said Hearn. That vision extends beyond these golf course projects. The Main Lodge at Boyne Highlands has already undergone substantial upgrades, with more to come. The first phase involved the remodeling of 87 guestrooms and renamed them with Scottish and English heritage. The next phase begins this spring and involves construction of a new multi-level European spa and the redesign of theTower lobbies. Eventually a steak and sushi restaurant, plus a new convention center will be added.
