Bay Harbor, MI

How about taking a break from Door County, WI or Saugatuck, MI next summer and going about six hours up the eastern Shore of Lake Michigan to Petoskey, MI? You will not be disappointed. Petoskey is the epicenter of Michigan golf and can satisfy the most discerning golf junkie.
Check out this shot from the elevated tee of the par three number four at Bay Harbor Golf Club (Links). It’s about 5 miles due west of downtown Petoskey. There are three nines at this venue and about seven holes right on the lake, and many more with lake views. If you go, try and play the Links and the Quarry.
You stand on the tee and have a beautiful view of the town of Bay Harbor and Little Traverse Bay. Club down one if there is no wind and just aim to the right of the green. There are only about two paces worth of grass left of the green so I didn’t mess with the pin. Of course, I was on the upper tier to the right and three-jacked it for a bogey.
