The Classic Course

The Classic — A Northern Michigan Golf Resort Course

Designed by famed architect William H. Diddel and opened in 1955, The Classic is exactly what its name promises — a traditional, country-club layout with no gimmicks and honest, straightforward golf.

Honest golf, the way it should be

The Classic rewards good shots and asks for sound course management rather than tricks. It is a sleeper amidst the big-name resort courses in the area — quietly one of the most enjoyable rounds you will play in Northern Michigan.

Each hole offers scenic beauty in the form of woodlands, water and wildlife, all wrapped in the relaxed pace of a true resort course.

The best greens in Northern Michigan

Golfers return for the putting surfaces. The Classic’s quick, true greens are considered the best in Northern Michigan, demanding a deft touch and a careful read.

The signature par-4 9th plays 285 yards between the tops of two ski slopes — a memorable, dramatic finish to the front nine.
