Crystal Mountain (Betsie Valley)

Rated among Michigan's top courses and named 2025 Michigan Golf Course of the Year, Crystal Mountain (Betsie Valley) draws consistent praise from Hole19 golfers. The course also holds a 4-star Golf Digest rating, adding to a record that dates to its opening in 1977, when designer A. John Harvey laid out this 18-hole resort layout in Michigan, United States. The course combines links and parkland character across tree-lined fairways, natural water features, and waste bunkers. A 20-foot cherry tree defines the eighth hole as one of the more visually distinct on the property. Crystal Mountain (Betsie Valley) has hosted the Michigan Women's Open. The 10-acre practice facility includes a driving range, putting green, and multi-tiered chipping areas with bunkers. Instruction is available from Class A teaching professionals using TrackMan 4 technology. The Kinlochen Pro Shop, designed to resemble a small Scottish castle, sits alongside The Thistle, an intimate fine dining restaurant with Scottish-themed décor. An outdoor plaza is available for post-round drinks.
