and played a combo set with the Orange and Green tees to fit our group. Boyne does an excellent job of setting tee-markers and playing it forward. Believe me, 6,100 yards was plenty for our collection of recreational amateurs. Even the single digit handicap guys like myself found plenty of challenge and fun. Our round on the course peaked on the 13th hole, which features a downhill 150-foot drop. The view from the tee complex on the par 5 has to be the best golf view in the region. Golfers look out above beautiful hardwoods of northern Michigan for over 40 miles. Have your camera phone ready for this hole. On that great day most of us were satisfied with 36 holes of golf, but a few of the group who obviously can’t get enough, decided to push some fun bets and take on the Moor course, which is another fun parkland style course with multiple risk-reward shots. The 9-hole two-man scramble proved to be a perfect ending to an amazing day, which concluded around 9:45 p.m. We slept in a bit on Day 3 in anticipation of playing BOYNE Golf’s flagship property, the Inn at Bay Harbor’s Bay Harbor Golf Club. It features 27-holes (Links, Quarry, Preserve) designed by Art Hill and rated by Editor’s Choice by Golf Digest as Best Midwest Golf Resort. It is nestled dramatically along a five-mile stretch of Lake Michigan shoreline. Ohio Golf Journal
