Guests with access to private planes can fly directly into the newly renovated BOYNE Mountain airport. All of these additions and renovations have drastically changed the perception of BOYNE as just a midwestern destination, the resort now appeals to the international traveler, as well. The Boyne resorts have long been popular for golfers and skiers but now it’s beyond that. Boyne is approaching the same level as North Carolina’s Pinehurst Resort. “We’re the two resorts with the most holes of golf under our control,’’ said Griffin. “It’s not just the holes. It’s the resort golf experience. We’re the two biggest in the U.S. We’ve gone from a national to an international destination.’’ Next June, the Boyne resorts will host 350 tour operators from around the world at the International Association of Golf Tour Operators convention. They’ll see what a great golf experience Northern Michigan offers. I am sure they will be as impressed as we were. To learn more and book your next golf adventure to BOYNE click HERE.
