Beautiful Course

We didn’t see a golfer for the first 5 holes. Great layout, great fairway conditions and the greens were very good and challenging. Incredible views and just a beautiful course. Only down side was that most of the bunkers needed some love, they had large rocks. Will definitely play it again.

Amazing experience!

Traveling to Michigan for a golf getaway to find this gem of a course. The views, layout, and condition of the course was amazing. What a fun experience. This course will definitely be added to the annual golf trip.

Beautiful course………….except for all the rocks

What a wonderful piece of property. Challenging holes, beautiful views, and great green, but what is with the rocks in the sand traps.
The rocks were so bad, you had to rake the trap or take your ball out altogether.
Lastly, I know it was a Saturday, but 5.5 hours for a round is not acceptable. No Marshall until the 12th and that was the only time we saw one.
Love the course but the rocks got to go!

Overall Beautiful Course, amazing elevations and views

Fairways, greens, and tee boxes were in outstanding condition. The elevations and views were amazing, will definitely come back to play during fall color season. Carts were a bit worn and struggled with the hills at times. Many (maybe most) of the bunkers had rocks in them, not pebbles or stones, but significant rocks. Given the hills and distance between greens and tee's, it's not a course you'll likely play in 4 hours as a 4some . Overall great course, worth the time and money.

Better courses in the area for the money

this course is fine, it could really use GPS, as there are several area's you don't really have enough information to make a club decision. The course is good, and the layout is pretty cool. You will need to know once you leave the club house you will not return until the round is over. there is a beverage cart after number 9, but that is it. Stock up before you leave.

Again, for the money, I would play somewhere else first.

No GPS

Great layout but no GPS with several holes that are blond or have a lay up off the tee. There are map postings on each hole but no yardage to anything other than the green. A little high price for what you get. Enjoyed the layout but not the greens, as the were very slow. All that said it was a fun day of golf

Scenic

My favorite GC in Gaylord area because the good deals you can get. This course is very scenic and well maintained with excellent greens. The pace of play is usually good but we had 4 not so good golfers in front of us playing a 2 on 2 scramble which takes alot longer than just walking to your ball and hitting. They measured and looked at every putt like they were at Augusta. The parts that makes me irritated is we were a twosome both lower handicapped golfers and they never waived us thru. By 18 they were 3/4 holes behind. Did not have a clue about golf etiquette The GC is great just a bad day

Tribute has a lot of elevation changes.

The course was in great shape. Lots of great scenery and elevation changes. My problem was with the golf now app. I had a gift card for $60.00 that I entered into the app. When I got to the course I couldn't find it. The app isn't user friendly.
