Michaywe Pines Golf Course

Gaylord sits at the heart of Michigan's "Golf Mecca" — a stretch of northern Lower Peninsula that has quietly become one of the Midwest's most celebrated golf destinations, home to legendary designs by Tom Fazio, Arnold Palmer, and others that draw players from across the Great Lakes region every summer. Michaywe Pines is part of that tradition, a resort-style layout woven through the rolling, pine-forested terrain that defines this part of Otsego County. The sandy soils and glacially sculpted landscape that make northern Michigan so naturally suited to golf give the course a genuine sense of place — fairways that move through stands of mature pines create the kind of corridored, woodsy atmosphere that feels distinctly Upper Midwest.
