Just recently named the #4 BEST BARGAIN in the United States by Golf Magazine in the February issue. This authentic Scottish links design captures the true essence of those famous seaside courses of Scotland (St. Andrews, Carnoustie, Royal Troon and etc.). The Gailes does this by recreating the look and feel of these courses by taking those features that make them so unique. The rugged mounding, long fescue grasses, meandering burns, double greens, grassy hollows, rippled fairways and over 134 sod faced bunkers, many found right in the middle of the fairways. Mix in the often boisterous winds of Lake Huron and it will be hard to remember you are still in Michigan. In keeping with tradition of the game walking is permitted, even suggested to truly appreciate the uniqueness of this gem.

If you are looking for something different and unique, or you have always dreamed of playing those famous seaside courses in Scotland, you need only to head to Lakewood Shores Resort. This is one course all golf enthusiasts must play!

 

BLACKSHIRE:
The newest course at Lakewood Shores continues the tradition of giving golfers a unique golfing experience. Blackshire was designed to recreate the look and feel of the famous Pine Valley G.C. and Pinehurst No. 2. Although not a replica of either it offers a similar rugged look and feel cut through northern pines and hardwoods, with large sand waste areas along the fairways tees and greens and undulating greens. Encompassing less than 200 acres, Blackshire has a classic turn of the century feel, and with short walks from greens to tee, also provides a classical walking experience if desired.

THE SERRADELLA COURSE:
A traditional parkland style course, the Serradella Course plays just over 6,800 yards in length. This course is ideal for all golfers of varying abilities. With half the holes cut through the heart of nature and the other half having creeks and large ponds coming into play, the Serradella Course offers an variety of looks and hazards to contend with, along with the moving type as well: playful deer, numerous wild turkey and fox. Smooth quick greens, generous carpet like fairways and landing areas makes the Serradella Course a favorite all golfers.

Each Spring the Serradella Course comes alive with an explosion of color from the over 70,000 annual flowers planted each season, along with it's 4,000 perennial flowers, truly making it a breath taking and enjoyable setting for great golf.
