Northern Michigan's True North Golf Club delights reader despite high green fees

In an area that has quite a healthy number of excellent golf-course offerings, True North Golf Club in Harbor Springs, Mich., really places itself close to the very top of the list, in my humble opinion. I played this golf course in late summer 2006 and it is simply an awesome track.

The layout and views are great, with plenty of risk-reward offerings for all levels of players. Even towards the end of the season, when I played, the course was in excellent condition, providing a memorable experience.

The only two things that can be considered in the negative about this course in my mind are that it is slated to become entirely private once they have sufficient membership and the high cost to play it as a non-member. I am glad I had the opportunity to play it one time before it becomes private. If you really want to treat yourself you may consider doing the same.
