It’s time to dust off another place on the mantelpiece, Treetops has just been named Best Value Golf Resort in the USA. It’s easy to see why. Their four championship courses are world-class, each designed by a famed architect including Fazio, Trent Jones Sr. and their very own Rick Smith, instructor to some of the PGA Tour’s royalty.

Played by Legends

Factor in the world’s best Par 3 course where legends like Nicklaus, Palmer, Mickelson, Trevino and Couples have all graced the fairways, and that’s a grand total of 81 holes of spectacular championship golf frequently called, “the best golf in the Midwest and perhaps in the USA.”

Each course has its own unique feel, but all of them feature the dramatic views from which the resort gets its name. The signature sixth hole on the Trent Jones Sr. Masterpiece course features a 120-foot vertical drop and a panoramic view of the Pigeon River Valley.

The Premier Course is the only golf course in Michigan designed by famed architect Tom Fazio, who utilized the rolling terrain and created the perfect balance between challenge and forgiveness. When asked to name a signature hole, Fazio replied, “All of them!”

Rick Smith, renowned architect and golf instructor, shaped the Signature Course. The course unfolds into high upland and features undulating greens and wide, forgiving fairways. The Tradition Course is Smith’s walking course, which pays homage to golf’s origin, and true to its name, features traditional wooden pins and pennant flags. The links-style layout takes advantage of high ridges and hilltops, providing some sloping while still being walkable.

Location is no doubt another factor. Treetops is the closet major resort to the metro Detroit area, located conveniently just off I-75 in the picturesque town of Gaylord, which makes for an easy getaway.

Splendid Accommodations

Treetops Resort features 238 guest rooms, including standard and deluxe hotel rooms and both two and three-bedroom condominiums. Nearly every room gives you a peek at the majestic setting filled with sweeping vistas of ski hills, golf courses and impressive woodland. Wake up refreshed and ready to do it again. With 2,000 acres of pristine Northern Michigan wilderness surrounding you, you’ll never get bored.

Eat and Drink Like a Champion

Enjoy a hearty backwoods breakfast, great food, fine wines and good times in a casually quaint atmosphere. Rich beginnings, signature entrees and heavenly desserts are the perfect complement to a great day on the course or the slopes. Treetops also offers a delectable culinary adventure series offering a wide variety of special dinners and beverage pairings. Nightlife thrives at Treetops with live entertainment and a sports bar with a massive collection of Michigan craft brews. Enjoy your favorite team on a host of flat-screen TVs, create your own action on the pool tables or simply relax and take in the spectacular night sky as you cozy up to the fire pit.

Treetops Meets Winter Head On

Unlike most golf resorts, Treetops doesn’t hibernate in winter. High elevation, abundant snowfall and scenic beauty provide ideal conditions for downhill skiing and snowboarding. Offering some of the finest terrain in the Midwest, Treetops features 23 expertly groomed runs and four distinct terrain parks, perfect for the skier or boarder of any ability. It’s easy to keep track of your group and see just how much fun they’re having, as all three lifts converge in one activity-filled area. For the hale and hearty, Treetops affords wonderful cross-country skiing adventures and extreme tubing at its finest.

Other amenities include the Rick Smith Golf School, a full-service spa and countless other options such as Foot Golf, disc golf, the BIG AIRbag, swimming, hiking and biking. The Culinary Adventure Series encompasses events like Farm2Fork Dinners, Skiable Feast, Wilderness Sleigh Ride Dinners and Beer Pairing Dinners. Whether you embark on a cross-country skiing excursion with food and drink stations on the beautiful North Property or take a sleigh ride through the forest with hot drinks and warm blankets to your destination dinner, each one of these events involves some type of adventure or learning experience while enjoying fine food and local spirits.
