Metal Medal Resorts

February 15th, 2006 — , golf courses from A Golfing Michigander @ A Golfing Michigander

Golf Magazine is out with another list. This time it is their Gold and Silver Medal resorts. They base them on the golf (first of course), service, amenities, and overall luxury of the experience.

Here is the Michigan contingent:

Gold Medal
<conspicuously empty>

Silver Medal
. Boyne Highlands
Harbor Springs

. The Inn at Bay Harbor
Bay Harbor

. Shanty Creek Resort & Club
Bellaire

. Treetops Resort
Gaylord

Not bad for a Mid-Western State. As you can imagine, most of the resorts are found in the warm weather States. You know, Hawaii, California, Florida. Getting four on the list is not bad for a State that is under a pile of snow for several months.

Noticeably absent from the list is another fine resort - Garland. I’ll have to send Golf an eMail and find out what it was about that excellent resort that they did not like. This should be interesting. Not enough ad dollars? Too far into the boonies perhaps.

Let me add a few of my own using no particular evaluation properties other than impulse (and personal experience with). These would not make their list but we all can’t be spoiled rich snobs who can only go to a Gold Medal resort now can we?

. Boyne Mountain
. Garland
. Grand Traverse Resort and Spa
. Crystal Mountain
. Double JJ Ranch & Golf Resort
. Beaver Creek Resort
. Drummond Island Resort
. Manistee National
. Sugar Loaf

There are plenty more, but I’ll stop there.

February 14th, 2006 — Golf Blog Posts from Sir Putts-a-lot @ On Golf Architecture

Why do tees get put up on pedestals of ground?Not only does this look unnatural to me, it also plays unnaturally. Sure, I can understand a little bit of elevation to keep the tee above surface water flow, but is 4 feet of elevation change really necess…
