Farmington Hills, MI – Why do we play golf? Because it is fun, right? The September issue of Golf Digest proves that we are having a heck of a lot of fun on the fairways in Michigan as our fair state has eight golf courses ranked in the magazine's Top 50 Most Fun Courses list. Six public courses and two private courses made the list.
The "most fun" public courses in Michigan are:

Treetops Resort's executive course has been a longtime favorite of Michigan golfers. Golf Digest cites its "tee-to-green elevation" as one of the many reasons to visit this course.

#17 Arcadia Bluffs -- Arcadia
The view of Lake Michigan is spectacular and Golf Digest likes the "roller coaster elevation changes."

Tucked away in the middle of Northern Michigan woods, this course is known for its fast greens and picturesque setting. Golf Digest loves its "immaculate conditioning."

#38 University of Michigan GC -- Ann Arbor
Alister Mackenzie designed this course and Golf Digest loves its "outstanding greens and green complexes."
