Gladstone sits on the western shore of Little Bay de Noc, a deep finger of Green Bay that gives Michigan's Upper Peninsula one of its more dramatic geographic settings. The town is a working-class community in Delta County, far removed from the resort corridors of Traverse City or Petoskey, and the golf here reflects that — unpretentious, accessible, and rooted in the everyday game of the region's year-round residents.
Irish Oaks is a full 18-hole, par-72 layout with a driving range on site, making it a practical choice for players who want to warm up before a round or work on their swing after. The name nods to the mature oak tree cover that defines much of Upper Peninsula golf, where hardwood canopy and open sky compete for your attention between shots. Rounds here unfold against a backdrop that is genuinely rural and quiet.
The UP's short golf season — ice-out typically comes late and the calendar closes early — tends to produce a loyal local player base that treats their home course with real affection. For visitors making the drive up through Escanaba or over the Mackinac Bridge, Irish Oaks offers a straightforward, honest round in a part of Michigan that remains largely off the touring golfer's radar.
