Golf at Boyne Mountain.

The Monument golf course is a composite of dramatic and challenging golf holes of widely varying character, reflecting the distinct design philosophies of such noted architects as Donald Ross, Dr. Alister Mackenzie, Robert Trent Jones, George Fazio, and Pete Dye.  It is dedicated to great golf course architecture and to those who have left lasting imprints on the game.  Holes dedicated to these players and contributors to the game of golf, making the monument a one of a kind -playable hall of fame.

Home of the “Tournament of Champions”, The Alpine weaves down the mountainside toward spectacular Deer Lake.  Stunning vistas with strategically placed water hazards and bunkers provide a thrilling round.  Rich in character, memories are sure to follow you long after your round is complete.

Golf at Bay Harbor

Our northern Michigan golf courses showcase sweeping shoreline bluffs, dunes, rugged rock formations and verdant woodlands converge in the form of three nine-hole courses on the banks of Lake Michigan’s Little Traverse Bay. Each golf course possesses a distinct character and flavor that challenge every skill level.

Designed by Arthur Hills, the three ‘nines’ are all paired with a different finishing nine, forming three championship 18 hole routings.  These combinations are TheLinks and the Quarry; The Quarry and the Preserve; The Preserve and The Links.  Play your favorite or challenge all of Arthur’s 27!

The Crooked Tree Golf Club is perched on bluffs high above Bay Harbor. The course was sculpted from centuries-old hard woods and the back nine opens to breathtaking views of Little Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan.  Though it is the shortest of the BOYNE courses, blind shots and incredible greens will challenge and delight you all the way through your round.

Golf at Boyne Highlands.

The Heather by Robert Trent Jones is Boyne’s very first course, its wonderful test of golf combined with some of the most premier playing conditions in the mid-west, is why the Golf Association of Michigan has selected The Heather as the host site for the 100th Michigan Amateur in 2011.

An amazing spectacle of design and beauty. A colossal course that requires patience and respect. The Arthur Hills Course boasts many traps and hazards to trip up even the best of players. A must-play course for every serious golfer. Arthur Hills trademarks are all throughout with generous fairways leading to intense green complexes, beautiful use of the natural land, multiple playing strategies leading to plenty of rewards… but none without a risk!

Where else can you experience playing the combined history of 14 U.S. Opens, 11 PGA Championships, 8 U.S. Amateurs, and 3 Ryder Cups all in 4 hours?  The Donald Ross Memorial is a composite of classic golf holes designed by Donald Ross in the early part of the century and re-created at BOYNE from some of the architect’s most renowned courses including Oakland Hills, Seminole Golf Club, Pinehurst #2, Inverness, and Oak Hill

The Moor features numerous doglegs, marshes and water holes along its 6850 yards. A well designed course for players of all levels.  The Moor was the second course built at Boyne Highlands and is host to many exciting events.
