Oh my, it all starts with the drive in...wow. It was my favorite course of the 4 we played up there. It was in emaculate shape. Played tough but fair both times. Tricky pin placements on a couple holes. Greens were in great shape, hard, fast and very few ball marks. Kudos to the superintendent and his crew!👍Practice area is huge and has it all!

Sweetgrass is amazing. Very well manicured. Fairways are awesome and greens are very fast and true. The grounds crew do fantastic work. Greens are tricky with multi level surfaces. It will test your ability, but you won’t go home disappointed.

Sweetgrass Golf Club is an amazing course with great conditions. There aren't any breathtaking views but a lot of good views with great golf design. The double green on 9 and 18 isn't unique but really works in this setup. Love the wide fairways. Greens are undulating and fast. Hole 4 and 13 are really challenging. Overall, best course in upper Michigan even better than Graywalls.
