As short courses are popping up across the golf world, Threetops at Treetops Resort, Michigan’s Most Spectacular Resort, was recognized by AARP The Magazine as one of the nation’s very best short courses and ‘Not to Be Missed.’ Designed by Rick Smith in 1992, after a visit to Augusta National’s par 3 course, it was one of the very first public short courses in the country and is still one of the very best. Other short courses on AARP’s list include; Bandon Preserve at Bandon Dunes, The Cradle at Pinehurst, The Sandbox at Sand Valley, The Hay at Pebble Beach and The Baths at Kohler. Short courses have become staples at many golf resorts, inviting players of all skill levels to kick back and tee it up with just a few clubs and a putter. “Threetops was one of the first in the country, before it became a popular design,” said Barry Owens, GM of Treetops. “We are proud to be included in this prestigious list! It’s the perfect invitation for our nation’s largest population to join us in Pure Michigan.” “AARP members are active and enjoy traveling, so why not make memories on Threetops. Folks of all abilities can play where many of their favorite PGA icons have played. The roster is hefty; including Arnold Palmer, Lee Travino, Fred Couples, Phil Mickelson, and even ‘The Bear’ Jack Nicklaus among others,” Owens went on to say. For the full AARP story click HERE.
