Golf the Upper Peninsula

Michigan’s Upper Peninsula has officially earned its place among America’s premier golf destinations, recently named the #1 Golf Destination in the United States by USA TODAY’s 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. With more than 50 public courses carved through dense forests, rugged terrain and Great Lakes shorelines, the Upper Peninsula offers a golf experience unlike anywhere else. 

This is golf at its most immersive: rounds unfold alongside dramatic elevation changes, sweeping Great Lake views and quiet fairways untouched by crowds or city noise. Every tee box feels remote, every drive comes with a view and every round becomes part of a larger adventure.

More Than a Golf Trip

Golf is just the beginning of an unforgettable experience. Between rounds, discover waterfalls cascading through ancient forests, miles of Great Lakes shoreline, scenic drives and small towns filled with local restaurants, breweries and welcoming hospitality.

Plan Your Golfing Getaway

Whether you’re planning a buddies’ trip, couples retreat or solo golf escape, the Upper Peninsula offers lodging, dining and stay-and-play options for every style of traveler. Many of the region’s top courses — including Timber Stone, Sweetgrass and Sage Run — offer stay-and-play packages that make it easy to maximize your time on the course while experiencing everything the U.P. has to offer. And when the round is over, you’re never far from a craft brewery, fresh whitefish dinner, sunset shoreline or trail leading deeper into the woods.
