I’m planning a trip to New Buffalo, Michigan, and I’m really interested in hitting the local golf courses while I’m there. I’ve heard a bit about a few places, but I’d love to get some solid recommendations. Here’s what I’m looking for:

What I’m Interested In:

  • Course Quality: Are there any new courses that have opened recently, or well-known ones that are worth a visit?
  • Suitability: I’m a mid-level player, so I’d prefer courses that are challenging but not overly difficult. Any suggestions on where I might fit in best?
  • Amenities: What facilities do these courses offer? Things like driving ranges, putting greens, or club rentals are important to me.
  • Pricing and Accessibility: I’d like to know about the pricing for green fees and whether I need to book in advance.

Specific Courses Mentioned:

  • I’ve heard talk about the Whittaker Woods Golf Club and the The Dunes Club. Has anyone had the chance to play there? Would love to hear your thoughts!
  • Are there any hidden gems I might be missing out on that could provide a great golfing experience?

Additional Tips:

If anyone has tips on local restaurants or accommodations that would be great for a golfing trip, please share those too! I’m aiming for a fun weekend of golf and relaxation.

Looking forward to your suggestions and insights!

I’ve heard great things about The Dunes Club, but the exclusivity can make it tough to book a tee time. Is it worth the hassle?

For a fun and relaxed round, try Pebblewood Golf Course. It’s not super fancy, but it’s great for beginners and affordable too!

I’ve been to New Buffalo a couple of times, and while I loved Whittaker, I found the courses can get pretty crowded during weekends.

Good point! Is there a best time to go to avoid those crowds? I really want to enjoy the game.

I also think it’s hilarious how serious folks take their golf shakes after a round. It’s all about enjoying the day, right?
