The Gaylord Golf Mecca enters 2020 as its 33rd year operating as a cooperative multi-property marketing effort to bring visitors to the international golf destination in Northern Michigan.
“We have come together in an industry that’s very competitive and continued to keep working to make things better year after year,” said Paul Beachnau, executive director of the Mecca. “I think we all realize that if we work together to put Gaylord on the tourism map everyone benefits. A rising tide benefits all ships.”
The Mecca generated over 200,000 rounds of golf, with golf expenditures of almost $13.8 million among its 15 golf course members and 20 lodging partners last year. Two new member properties – Garland Golf Resort (with four courses) in Lewiston and Lakes of the North Golf Course in Mancelona – have joined the Mecca for 2020, bringing the total golf courses to 20 for 2020.
