Hello fellow golfers… 🙂 While our trips to the UP have been outstanding, I have had numerous requests to book an ‘Up North’ golf trip that isn’t quite so far so I have chosen Boyne. Boyne has a collection of 10 golf courses that can compete with any golf resort in the world. They have gotten more expensive the last few years but the golf packages are still a bargain considering what you get.
I’m looking at the week of June 12, 2023. I have obtained pricing for 4 rounds / 4 nights – $958.10 per person based on double occupancy… or 5 nights / rounds – $1113.94. This includes lodging, golf, carts and practice facilities. I should mention that the practice facilities are very good and unlimited range balls are always included. The price(s) also include surcharges to play the premium courses…Bay Harbor and Arthur Hills. One of the last ‘Shell Wide World of Golf’ episodes was shot at Bay Harbor and matched Phil Mickelson and Tom Lehman. For those of who who have played at my simulator…the large mural on the back wall is from Arthur Hills #13…a tee shot you will never forget!
My preference would be to stay at Boyne Highlands as Harbor Springs and Petoskey have more choices for dining. We can still include the courses at Boyne Mountain. Using West Bloomfield as a central starting location, Bing Maps shows the drive to Boyne Highlands as 3:56 (3 hours and 56 minutes).
If you haven’t been on any of my previous golf trips here are the basics. I book 1 round per day…usually in the noon to 1:00pm time frame. This allows lazy mornings to sleep in, explore or do whatever your heart desires. Also time to warm up prior to the round for those interested. We finish in plenty of time to go out for a nice dinner afterwards. On the last day I try to book earlier so people can hit the road at a decent hour. We generally dine VERY well but people are certainly free to do their own thing. As always…I go up a few days early to play some other courses in the area if anyone else is interested.
One last thing…this does NOT replace the UP golf trip. I will be scheduling that again (August 14-18 2023) for those interested.
I will update as necessary. Hope you can join us!!!
Update 11/8/2022
Ok, I made reservations for 20 last week however after thinking about it I decided to limit the event to 16. Any larger than that makes dining as a group very difficult. If we build a substantial waitlist I can look at bumping it up again.
The details are as follows:

Dear Brad Bekowies,
Thank you for choosing Boyne Mountain Resort, The Mountain Grand Lodge and Avalanche Bay.
Please review your reservation information listed below:
Confirmation Number: 143865
Accommodations:
Total Adults: 20
Deposit Received: $2,000.00
Start thinking about your room mate. I booked 2 rooms for single occupancy. The package cost for these is $1451.89. I booked 9 rooms for double occupancy (2 queen beds). The package cost for these is $1045.88 per person. The package costs include golf including surcharges for Bay Harbor and Arthur Hills courses, lodging and practice range. It does not include meals. We are staying at Boyne Mountain, not the Highlands as the prices were better there. A $100 deposit was required for each person which I paid. Boyne will need all of the names and method of payment by April 11, 2023. Any reservation can be cancelled up until May 28, 2023 at 5:00pm. For the gamblers in the group Odawa Casino is pretty much right between Boyne Mountain and Boyne Highlands.
Looking forward to it! If you’ve never been to Boyne before you are in for a treat! If you haven’t signed up yet, join us!
