Garland's four distinct courses are rich in beauty, challenge, and wildlife. Reflections may be the secret gem of Garland. At 6,400 yards, Reflections proves a course does not have to be long to be demanding. The Monarch course rates the most challenging of the Garland fun pack. Measuring 7,188 yards from the back, Monarch presents the strongest four opening holes on both nines that you will find anywhere. It's water, water everywhere on Swampfire. Golfers will find wet hazards on 16 holes. Fountains was carved out of a hardwoods forest to produce a popular combination of six par 5s, 4s and 3s.

The Midwest's only AAA four diamond resort, Garland has long been known for its special Northern Michigan ambiance. Frequent glimpses of whitetail deer, wild turkey, fox, nesting bald eagles, and other woodland game are all part of the Garland experience.
