A private, members-only Steve Smyers course on about 300 acres above East Grand Traverse Bay near Williamsburg.
Private club. Play is generally limited to members and their guests. Check with the club.
LochenHeath covers roughly 300 acres along the shore of East Grand Traverse Bay near Williamsburg, northeast of Traverse City. The club says architect Steve Smyers blended Scottish links-style play with the natural contours of the land, and the course looks out over the bay.
The club describes itself as members only, with no public play. It is included because Golf Digest ranks it among Michigan’s best courses.
