Michaywe Pines is a scenic 18-hole golf course that winds through the birch and pine forests that sit along the AuSable River. The course opened in 1972 and 32 years later the original designer, Don Childs, came back to completely renovate the course. The classic layout kept its best features but the bunkers were reshaped and deeply shouldered with lush bluegrass sod and four sets of tee boxes were crafted for each hole. There is water in addition to the bunkers, but overall the golf course is player friendly enough for beginners. The back nine is longer than the front and you'll run into more tree-lined fairways. Michaywe Pines' 13th hole is especially tight with towering pines looming on both sides, it begins a stretch of holes where the woodland landscape becomes quite dramatic.

    Michaywe Pines is a beautiful course in the Gaylord Mecca. It is a nice lay out with a variety of sand traps, doglegs, water and creeks. Michaywe is very well manicured and offers multiple tee boxes to add length if you so desire. One of my favorite in northern Michigan and very reasonably priced.

    Course always in great shape. Very playable, not very hilly, but can get tight at times. This June, also played Black Forest, and the conditions at Michaywe blew Black Forest out of the water. You won't walk away in awe of the course, but I guarantee you'll be pleased with the layout and conditions. I think they have some of the best greens around, and the clubhouse staff are always fantastic with my crew when we play.
