Welcome to

The Nightmare

PLEASE, don’t let the name fool you. The Nightmare Golf Course features some of the largest fairways you will find on a golf course. Coupled with large undulating greens makes this course a DREAM for any golfer.

The natural beauty of the rolling northern Michigan terrain along with a well manicured course from tee to green puts this area on the map of Michigan’s “must play” golf destinations.

Hidden gem in mid-Michigan! Well taken care by the staff. Greens were fair fairways were perfect.

What a wonderful, totally underrated golf course.

Both courses have been taking care of our group of 36-44 guys every year, spring and fall since they opened and have done an unbelievable job. The courses seem to be like a great bottle of wine where they seem to get better and better as time goes on. I’d put these courses against any I’ve played and that’s a lot of them.

Two of the best courses in Michigan! They take care of their guests. We got caught in a rainstorm and they set us up inside to dry out and play cards while we waited out the storm!

These guys always make my father and I feel like we’ve been family friends all of our lives. Every year we go back and forth from The Dream to The Nightmare and the courses are always at their best! You make our 3.5 hour journey up north worth our time!! They treat their customers like King’s!!! I can’t wait till next June to go play again!!!
