This is pretty cool. This course is 5 minutes
from my house. They were just chosen as one of
the Best New Courses 2010 by Golfweek.
It's a beautiful course but a nightmare (at least
for me) to play. Super tight fairways.

One of the most dramatic (and, most talked about)
changes was on hole No. 8, now one of the
region's prettiest and most challenging par 5's.
The tee boxes were re-positioned and trees
removed, which opened up one of the signature
views in all of northern Michigan, including Lake
Michigan, the Manitou Passage, sand dunes and
lighthouse.
With its crystal clear inland waters, sparkling
Lake Michigan beaches, and miles of rolling sand
dunes in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National
Lakeshore, Leelanau was the perfect setting for
Manitou Passage Golf Club as it was for The
Homestead, America's Freshwater Resort. Guests
can now enjoy this world-class Arnold Palmer
signature design and golf packages at a resort of
comparable quality.
