Since opening in 1994, Loon Golf Club has become one of the most popular golf courses in the Gaylord area. It has even expanded to include another 18-hole course called the Lakes. The Loon Course features fast, undulating greens and narrow fairways surrounded by numerous strategically placed bunkers. Water hazards also come into play on half of the holes. The back nine is considerably longer than the front nine thanks to two lengthy par 5s. One of these is the 590-yard 11th hole, which not only has fairway and greenside bunkers to contend with but it also plays into the prevailing winds. The golf course finishes with another challenging hole. It plays from an elevated tee box that provides scenic views but long hitters beware of the pond on the left and the green is also severely layered.

    The Loon was in decent shape, and provided a fair test, but it lacked the "wow" moment that can be found on many of the other courses in the Gaylord area. The holes were not repetitive, but there were few that stood out as really excellent designs. I would recommend playing the sister course, the Lakes, before playing the Loon.

    The Loon was in excellent shape and very appealing to the eye for scenery. It is a very tight course off the tee and the greens leave little room for errant shots. A very tough golf course that is still playable to most levels. Greens are very fast and need to be mowed a little more consistently due to the number of trees on the course that leave the greens covered sometimes. I really like the course layout and would recommend this course to everyone. Reasonable rates compared to other courses. Bring lots of balls because you will be in trees a lot and its hard to find golf balls. Very good course!!
