The most luxurious of Boyne Resort’s accommodation offerings is the waterfront Inn at Bay Harbor , named a Top Resort and Top Spa by readers of Conde Nast Traveler . Other lodging options include condos, as well as, cottages at both Crooked Tree and along the waterfront. While not owned by Boyne, the new, on- resort Great Lakes Center for Performing Arts is scheduled to lift its curtain for the first time on July 7, 2018. Boyne Golf Academy Offers GEARS Full Body Monitoring : A GEARS video analysis captures a golfer’s full body motion using 26 sensors, plus six additional sensors attached to the golf club. The system also integrates eight high- speed cameras to capture every movement and then processes the data to provide a full analysis of every angle of a golfer’s swing. Until recently, GEARS’ 3D scanning was only available to PGA pros, club fitters, and manufacturers, but Boyne says it is the first teaching facility in Michigan to implement the hi-tech GEARS software. PGA Professionals, Mike Fay and David McWhorter, use GEARS in combination with TrackMan to monitor ball flight, with satellite-trackin g technology feedback, to tak e swing analysis and club fittin g to another level. Boyne’ s award-winning golf academ y is a great compliment to any golf trip to the resort.
