Which doesn't mean we necessarily played a good round of golf. Lol. This is a beautiful golf course with lots of challenging holes. Bunkers, water hazards, trees, and nice long fairways, which all makes for a non boring round. The condition of the fairways and greens was very good. From the pro shop to the starter, everyone who was working was very pleasant to talk to and helpful getting our clubs from car to cart and onto the first tee. My league will be playing the Boyne courses this summer and I'm looking forward to more golf here!

We've had good years and bad weather wise but we have been treated very well by all the staff at all the courses. We don't visit The Marsh anymore the boys find it too tough. But who said we could play golf. We haven't found a better price deal anywhere and we go from Boyne to Ostego to Loon and Shanty Creek and Traverse City. We've never been disappointed at this resort and are not super fussy. We have always booked the last week of May/first week in June. The worst year we had was just after Covid where they didn't have enough staff hired in yet so the greens were slow but the courses were in pretty good shape overall. Looking forward to our trip back this year.

This is a hidden gem (especially the back 9, which has a few holes with really nice elevation…read morechanges). Deer Run is slightly pricey for its out-of-the-way location (around Mancelona/Grayling/Gaylord), but the twilight golf is a great deal--with as little congestion as there is in the afternoon, you can get in 27 holes easily. Also, the clubhouse bar has a large selection of beer, including tap beer, and there's a full restaurant, not just the standard chips & hotdogs setup that a lot of courses up north use. The food is above average, too. Altogether, I highly recommend it. (If you want something a little fancier, try Treetops.)

The interior was nicely updated and the building was clean. They have 6 lanes for bowling, a bar (beer only), and numerous TVs that allow you to catch the big game while bowling. I was there on New Years Eve and they even had a DJ coming in to help ring in the new year. Our family's cabin is right in between Gaylord and Mancelona, and I will gladly bring my business back to Mancelona Lanes as opposed to anywhere else in the area.

Nothing beats a day on the water in Northern Michigan. A week before our vacation I rented a boat…read morefor our family. Unfortunately, the forecast called for a cold and rainy day for the Monday our boat was booked. The company told me they have a no refund policy unless it's really raining, but the cold alone isn't fun when on a boat. Fortunately, they were very accommodating even with their policy and let us move the boat to a few days later when the weather forecast looked perfect. We had a boat big enough for 14 people (very roomy for our party of 5) and a tube. My husband doesn't have much boating experience, but didn't have any issues after a 3 minute lesson from the friendly woman at Boyne Watersports. The highlight for the kids was definitely the tubing. They have 2 types of tubes: the laying down ones my kids use at camp (for 3) and another one that's more like a couch (for 2). We opted for the "couch" tube and the kids absolutely loved it. They went again and again and again. By the end they were asking for a "hells ride" and flipping all over the place. We wish we had taken them up on instructions for how to dock the boat because the kids started to get hungry and we passed by their new favorite restaurant, The Landing. However, my husband was too nervous that he would crash the boat attempting to dock so we waited to eat until we got back. 4 hours was the minimum, but I think 3 hours is plenty. It's also a very expensive outing, but was one of the highlights of our trip up north! I'd definitely use this company again. They did mention you could rent boats for less time if you walk up, although the gorgeous day we rented was a busy one for them so probably best to rent in advance.

Staff was very friendly. Our room was nice and clean. My only complaint was the terrible coffee they had in the room but I am admittedly a bit of a coffee snob.

In the summer it's a buffet. Again our breakfasts were great. Large portions and nice and hot. Food was great all around. We weren't sure since they were not that busy. Very nice relaxing weekend.
