Treetops named Michigan’s Course of the Year
Courses November 20th, 2005
This piece of news caught my eye seeing as I reside in Michigan and frequent Treetops and its surroundings. I enjoy visiting the Gaylord area for the snow-covered mountains during the winter, and the beaches and golf courses during the summer.
The resort also offers 23 downhill ski runs, a tubing and terrain park, a snowboard half-pipe, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, restaurants and 240 guest rooms.
Treetops Golf course was name the 2006 Golf Course of the Year by the Michigan Golf Course Owners Association. This award was won based on quality or the course, quality of management, contribution to the community, and contribution to the game of golf.
Treetops has garnered a number of awards from numerous golf publications including being named the “Best Golf Resort in the Midwest” by Great Lakes Golf Magazine in 2002, “America’s Best Par Three Course” by Golf Week, “Top Places to Play” by Golf Digest in 2004 and “Top 10 Places to take Dad on Father’s Day” by USA Today in 2004.
It was also named No. 3 in the Top 50 International Resorts by Conde Nast Traveler in 2000, behind Pinehurst and Pebble Beach.

Hello! I noticed you didn’t have any recent updates on golf courses so I wanted to pass this on to you all the way from Texas…
San Antonio, TX is soon to be a major golf destination. The Valero Texas open will be in the spring beginning in 2009 and will take place at the new AT&T Oaks Course at TPC San Antonio in 2010. With these news… more people are sure to take notice of the great venues available in the area. The AT&T Oaks Course designed by Greg Norman, as well as the AT&T Canyons Course designed by Pete Dye, are two brand new additions to San Antonio, specifically the Hill Country. Surrounded by rolling hills, the courses are part of the new JW Marriott Hill Country Resort & Spa opening in March of 2010. The new resort will be the largest of the JW Marriotts with 1002 rooms and 140,000 square feet of exhibit space. I’m looking forward to the New Year and having a new excuse to drive to the Hill country. The area is full of historic sites, vineyards, music legends and diverse culture. With 300 plus days of sunshine a year my first thought was that it was the perfect choice for these courses and this tournament!
