Crystal Mountain is one of northern Michigan's premier golfing destinations, offering two scenic championship golf courses that play across wooded hills. The Mountain Ridge and Betsie Valley Courses share the same scenic landscape but they offer two completely unique layouts. Mountain Ridge was carefully carved from densely forested highlands that climb to a peak of 200 feet. The challenging design incorporates tree-lined fairways and expansive waste bunkers. The 13th is the most difficult hole on the golf course and it is also the longest par 4. A narrow driving area is framed with a bunker to the left and a large beech tree on the right but then golfers are also faced with a challenging green that is protected by a bunker on the left and falls off to the right. Although it is a formidable test, four sets of tees make it more approachable.

    Course was in great shape. Very challenging but fair.

    Pro shop staff was extremely courteous, helpful, and polite.

    We were a little disappointed with the bag drop staff, though. There were quite a few young men and women available and not busy, yet no one offered to help remove our clubs from our vehicle, When we finished, there was no offer to clean clubs or help in moving them to the bag rack. Just a lack of interest - kind of unusual for a venue that bills itself as a golf resort.
