For traveling golfers who don't mind a relatively short season and can do without sophisticated fine dining, opulent spas, chic shopping and nightlife, Gaylord, Michigan offers a smorgasbord of playing options on a Northern Michigan golf vacation.
Located in the center of the state's Northern Lower Peninsula, Gaylord embodies the pristine beauty and unpretentious charms of Northern Michigan. It's also home to perhaps the most famous golf resort in the state, Treetops, and has excellent stand-alone courses nearby.
Almost all of the most prominent American golf course designers have eagerly embraced this region's densely wooded, rolling terrain that is dotted with lakes, bogs, and wetlands.
And, if we include the courses within a 45-minute drive, the "Gaylord Golf Mecca" is composed of no less than 21 golf courses and five resorts.
While even the most rabid golfers couldn't possibly cover this bounty in one typical Northern Michigan golf vacation, at least the long summer days it doesn't get dark until nearly 10 pm allow diehards to play up to 54 holes per day.
