The 18-hole Bay Valley Resort & Conference Center in Bay City, MI is a resort golf course that opened in 1973.

This course is probably the best deal in Mid Michigan. If you book online, you can usually find a deal for $25 for 18 w/ a cart. When I was younger, this course used to be the cream of the crop in Mid Michigan with prices around $80 for 18. The course is no longer at that level, but still a good course for the money. It provides quite a few difficult shots and has some pretty good greens. I usually play this course about 20 times a summer, and always find myself having to hit new shots.. Very nice course.

water, water, and more water.....did i mention water? makes a lot of holes challenging if your shots fade or draw to much its gonna be wet. mix in some nice tree lined fairways and u got a great course to play. id suggest on your drives you lean towards accuracy over distance/power. that will save u a lot of time hoplessly searching the tall grass that is everywhere on this course.
