Michaywé Pines Golf Course American • $$
1535 Opal Lake Rd, Gaylord

“We recently golfed 18 at Michaywe Pines and it was great. Beautiful course, super friendly staff, and great accommodations with the golf cart touchscreens & club house ordering.

Also, one of our group forgot their range finder, and the staff at Michawye found it and kept it safe at the front desk for us, which was very much appreciated.

5 stars for Michaywe Pines, and we'll certainly be back next time we're in town.“
