what you crave, it’s perfect. About an hour north of Gull Lake View lies Tullymore Golf Resort, which features two fine courses, Tullymore and St. Ives. of Tullymore, I joined a threesome that was making its way through Michigan playing elite private and public courses. Naturally, Forest Dunes, with two courses included among Golfweek’s Top 100 You Can Play, was on their list. They’d come to play Tom Weiskopf’s parkland-style Forest Dunes course (2002) and Tom Doak’s reversible The Loop (2017), a mind boggling two courses in one. Weiskopf’s traditional course features bentgrass tees, greens and fairways. It plays through gorgeous Michigan pines on the front nine and opens up on the back nine that features Weiskopf’s signature short par 4 No. 17 and a 560-yard par-5 finishing hole along a lake. Challenging, beautiful and deserving of its ranking. The former was named Best New Upscale Course in 2002 thanks to architect Jim Engh’s innovative bunkering and unique green design, plus the accommodations were first-rate. The single golfer never knows where his next partners will be coming from, which adds interest.
