The golf trail is a great idea! Does anyone know if they have options for larger groups? I’m planning for a bunch of friends.
Travel tip: flying into Traverse City is often cheaper and closer to some amazing courses. Plus, the area is beautiful!
Good point! Also, look for accommodations at golf resorts; they can provide great deals and packages.
I’d definitely suggest camping at some of the courses if you’re adventurous! There’s nothing like falling asleep to the sound of nature after a long day of golfing.
Camping could be fun! But beware of mosquitoes in certain seasons! It might not be everyone’s cup of tea, haha.
Although I love golf, I think the cherry picking in the summer is even better in Michigan! Go for a balance between golfing and enjoying the local produce.
That sounds amazing! What are some must-visit places for cherry picking? I want to plan an all-around trip.
Don’t forget to check out the local wineries; some courses are near great vineyards. Tea time with wine can be a perfect combo.
I’ve seen some golf and wine tour packages that include sampling after rounds at various courses. Worth looking into!

Just be sure to book your tee times ahead, especially in peak season. The last thing you want is to show up and finding there’s no availability!
Good advice! Anyone have experiences with weather conditions in Michigan during late summer? Just planning for contingencies!
I’ve been in late summer, and it’s unpredictable! Bring layers; it can be hot during the day but chilly in the evenings. Perfect for golf attire!
I’m also planning a golf trip to Michigan! Exploring group packages is key. I’ve found that booking early can secure better deals.
Absolutely! I’ve had great luck with package deals at courses like Arcadia Bluffs. They often run promotions for groups.

Don’t forget to check for discounts on websites like GolfNow or Booking.com. They sometimes offer last-minute deals that can save you a ton!
Great tip! Additionally, try calling the golf courses directly. They might offer exclusive group rates that aren’t listed online.
I’ve booked golf trips a few times, and negotiation works wonders! If you’re bringing a big group, it’s worth asking for a better rate.
I second that, shawmatthew! Adding a meal or two in the package can sometimes be negotiated as part of the deal.
Anyone tried Cedar River Golf Club? I’ve heard they have great group packages and it’s a hidden gem!
I played there last year! The scenery is beautiful, and the staff was super accommodating. Definitely affordable for groups!
