Venue

Gaylord Country Club

MI, United States

Founded in 1924, Gaylord Golf Club is one of northern Michigan's oldest golf clubs, relocating to its current location west of Gaylord in 1975. This semi-private course features a classic parkland design that meanders through hills and hardwoods, characteristic of early 20th-century golf course architecture. The course is designed with strategic bunkering and is noted for having some of the best green complexes in northern Michigan. Notable design features include close proximity between greens and tees, allowing for efficient play. The layout incorporates elevation changes throughout, particularly on the back nine, creating varied and interesting holes. Gaylord Golf Club emphasizes traditional golf course conditions and design principles that prioritize playability and enjoyment. The course maintains quality fairways and putting surfaces that are kept in excellent condition. Unlike modern courses designed for extended play times, Gaylord Golf Club offers a more expedient round while maintaining strategic challenge through its hole design and bunkering strategy. The club allows public play despite its semi-private status, making it accessible to visiting golfers interested in experiencing classic parkland golf in northern Michigan's natural landscape.
