Eighty-one holes across five courses in Gaylord, with the Robert Trent Jones Sr. Masterpiece anchoring a stay-and-play property built for multi-day trips.
Treetops Resort sits in Gaylord, an hour and 15 minutes east of Traverse City, with roughly 240 recently renovated rooms, dining, a fitness center, and ski slopes that pivot to summer activities. The Masterpiece, a 1987 Robert Trent Jones Sr. design, is the flagship: a par-71 playing 7,028 yards with elevation changes up to 300 feet that earned Golf Digest's second-best new course honors when it opened. Four additional courses across a range of designers and difficulty levels round out the 81-hole roster.
You get genuine volume here without driving. A four-round, three-night trip never repeats a layout, and the position outside the immediate Traverse City orbit makes Gaylord a logical pairing with Forest Dunes in Roscommon, roughly 45 minutes south. The resort caters to golfers building a trip around the Gaylord-Roscommon corridor rather than chasing the Lake Michigan coast.
$100 to $200 per night via stay-and-play packages, which represent the strongest value in the corridor for the amount of golf available. Book direct for the bundled rates.
