As the days continue to grow shorter, cooler weather will begin to replace those long warm sunny days. The upside to that is that the leaves will begin to reach their full color and Northern Michigan will be ablaze with golds, yellows, reds and nearly every color in the rainbow.
September can be the best time to play golf in northern Michigan, the views from some of the higher tee boxes and elevations are jaw dropping.
Something to watch for: Treetops will host the second annual Fall Color Tour and Progressive Dinner on the Masterpiece course, October 4, 5, 11 and 12. I had the pleasure of attending this event last year and was duly impressed. The views and colors around the course that Jones Sr. designed at Treetops was awe inspiring and the food was wonderful. Even if you are not a golf aficionado, you will enjoy this colorful and tasty event.
We visited BOYNE Resort last month and were completely blown away by the changes and improvements that the staff at BOYNE are continually making to this all-encompassing resort.
The new short course Doon Brae won’t officially open until next spring, but we were able to view it and walk around the course. It will provide the perfect spot for serious golfers, as well as juniors and families to spend time together.
Throw on a sweatshirt, grab a jacket and get out there. Get a few extra rounds in and as always I hope I see you on the Back 9.
