Looking for a last-minute golf trip? Check out this weekend's Free Golf Getaway in Gaylord, northern Michigan

The only thing better than getting a good deal on great golf is paying nothing at all.

The Gaylord Golf Mecca, a marketing partnership between many of the region’s golf resorts and courses are offering their annual Free Golf Weekend April 27-29th, helping ring in the all-too-short golf season up north.

The courses included in this offer aren’t clunkers either. All the big names are here: Treetops, Otsego Tribute, Black Forest and Black Lake included. These gems are $80-130 in the peak season.

Too good to be true? Well there are some tiny catches. In order to get free golf you must book a room at any participating hotel in the area and tell them what course you want to play, and they set up the tee time. These aren’t $200 joints though. You can find rooms ranging from $50-90.

I checked the weather forecast for the weekend and it looks like partly-sunny and mid-60 highs in northern Michigan. I’ve been hanging in the swamp lately, where five-foot high artificial mounds are considered “elevation changes", and the thought of blasting some drives off 100-foot elevated tees has me itching to get up north.
