Fazio Premier

Gaylord sits at the heart of Michigan's "Golf Mecca," a stretch of northern Lower Peninsula that drew architects and developers from the 1980s onward, drawn by the rolling, glacially sculpted terrain, the jack pine and hardwood forests, and land values that made ambitious projects possible. The area now hosts more championship-caliber courses per capita than almost anywhere in the Midwest, and Fazio Premier sits squarely in that tradition. The Fazio name points to the prolific Tom Fazio design family, whose courses tend to favor bold shaping, generous landing areas, and dramatic visual presentation without sacrificing playability.
