glenk69 Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I'm going to do my bucket list in my home state. I've played a lot of great golf course in Michigan, but I haven't played any from this list. If I did a worldwide bucket list it would be very similar to what everyone else has done - so I'll do Michigan. 1. Crystal Downs 2. Arcadia Bluffs 3. Oakland Hills South 4. Forest Dunes 5. Kingsley Club 6. Forest Dunes Loop 7. Detroit Golf Club 8. Bay Harbor 9. Franklin Hills 10.

glenk69 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 If you can figure out how to play CD and KC let me know. I've been looking for a member to let me tag along. Yeah, half this list I've got pretty much no shot of every playing. I was lucky enough to play Oakland Hills North in a high school match back in 1986 - if you can believe that - and it was incredible. But i have zero hook ups for private courses other than Blythefield and Egypt Valley over in the Grand Rapids area. Played Blythefiield last year (very nice, great shape old school Cc) - and I'm playing Egypt Valley in July.

Kenny B Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Played it several times.. It is great..I have not parred the floating green yet... for a great weekend of golf the whole Spokane/Coeur D'Alene area is great.. Circling Raven at the other end of the lake is great also.. Spokane city courses are great fun and great priced... Worth a trip.. Agreed! Coeur d'Alene is nice, but I prefer Circling Raven. And as long as you are over this way, travel an hour south of Circling Raven to Pullman and play Palouse Ridge on the WSU campus. Then, a 90 minute drive to Walla Walla and play Wine Valley, a US Open local qualifying course.

Being new to the area, I am always looking for ideas of where to play. I was able to play Arcadia Bluffs last fall, and I cannot recommend that course highly enough. I hope you're able to start checking these off the bucket list this year.

I think my U.P. golf this year is going to be at Drummond Island with the wife and in-laws. I'll see what I can make happen later in the year.
