Hole 1

Hole Name

From The Tee Par 4 • 406 yards • A gentle dogleg to the right, the tee shot

From The Fairway will be best suited down the left center of the fairway.

On The Green This will open up the best angle to attack this green that is flanked by a bunker on the front right and some tricky moguls to the left.

Hole 2

Hole Name

From The Tee Par 4 • 359 yards • Play safely out to the right or challenge the natural dune area and hit your tee shot towards the green.

From The Fairway Though you may not make it there, it will set up a closer approach to this elevated green. Those that take the safer route should be sure that their tee shot doesn't run through the fairway and into the rough.

On The Green

Hole 3

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway Par 5 • 541 yards • There is a long bunker stretching the right side of the fairway.

On The Green You will need to play to a line that you are able to carry your ball across it to the short grass. From here you are faced with more bunkering on the left and all the way up to the green. The fairway makes a zig zag as it approaches the thin strip of green that slopes from right to left.

Hole 4

Hole Name

From The Tee Par 4 • 417 yards • Plenty of room to the right off the tee, a pond on the left will be in play the entire hole. Avoid the pond and use the natural contours of the green to access the back hole locations.

From The Fairway

On The Green The green will feed any balls that are hit to the center into that quadrant of the putting surface.

Hole 5

Hole Name

From The Tee Par 4 • 481 yards • Arguably the toughest par 4 at Boyne Highlands – this hole is just long. Smash a drive between the stripes and at all costs avoid the rows of pines that frame the outer edges of the hole.

From The Fairway

On The Green The green is well bunkered and falls off hard to the right, creating a number of different ways to play from, none of which are very easy.

Hole 6

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway Par 5 • 585 yards • Two pot hole bunkers in the fairway will be a tough way to play your second from.

On The Green Try to fit your drive on the right side of the fairway. Your second shot should be down the right too, as there is further bunkering in the landing area. The green has two levels and it is very important to be on the proper tier for the best shot at a bird.

Hole 7

Hole Name

From The Tee Par 3 • 172 yards • A small target, the seventh hole has a deep front bunker and sits elevated to the rest of the surrounding area.

From The Fairway This makes chipping and pitching increasingly difficult. Be sure to double check the wind here and make your best swing.

On The Green

Hole 8

Hole Name

From The Tee Par 4 • 427 yards • A wide landing area is made somewhat smaller by another one of

From The Fairway Arthur Hills' fairway pot bunkers. The longest bunker on the golf course can be reached off of the tee, but will see the most action up near the green. An overhanging tree will force you to shape a shot around it if your tee shot is too far down the left hand side.

On The Green

Hole 9

Hole Name

From The Tee Par 3 • 202 yards • The green is a mere ribbon of short grass. A natural wetlands area runs all the way down the right hand side and in front.

From The Fairway The right side is a classic challenge of uneven lies that can make an up and down very difficult. If you aren't in good shape here, its not a bad time to try and limit the damage. If you are looking at bogey...don't make double.

On The Green

Hole 10

Hole Name

From The Tee Par 4 • 354 yards • A short start to the back nine, the tenth is your best shot at hitting the green from the tee on the Arthur Hills course.

From The Fairway

On The Green A safe, long iron or fairway wood can also be played to set up a short approach. The difficulty here is around the green. Deep bunkers and steep run off areas descend sharply from the greens edge. It is like a Donald Ross hole on the juice.

Hole 11

Hole Name

From The Tee Par 5 • 575 yards • The tee shot here is not difficult, but is important. A wide landing area ends to the right at the edge of a pond that can be cleared with a long tee shot. Playing to the left side can result in being blocked out by a large hill. The next shot is blind, so if it is your first time, go take a look and pick a tree to aim at.

From The Fairway

On The Green A challenging green complex will keep you on your toes; til the little ball goes.

Hole 12

Hole Name

From The Tee Par 4 • 397 yards • Number 12 keeps right on climbing up the hill. A cavernous bunker on the left side challenges you to play short, creating a longer approach, or, play to the right and risk being blocked out by a cluster of trees on the left.

From The Fairway

On The Green The green slopes from left to the right and playing from the left side of the green can be trickier than back up the hill from the collection area on the right.

Hole 13

Hole Name

From The Tee Par 5 • 570 yards • BOYNE's Everest! If you've ever wondered what it would be like to hit a driver as hard as you can from the top of one of our ski slopes...

From The Fairway here is your chance! Arguably a signature hole for all of northern Michigan, the fairway is wide enough to let the next three groups play through, together. Further down the hill, some will go for the green in two, some will lay up short leaving a wedge shot approach.

On The Green The green slopes inward from most of the edges, creating a bowl effect. This can filter balls closer to the hole, but make for trickier putting. Get a good read and go for it.

Hole 14

Hole Name

From The Tee Par 3 • 186 yards • Be careful when choosing a club here. Your first reaction may be to take one less because it feels downhill,

From The Fairway

On The Green however the green runs on a diagonal from front left to back right. This means that to carry the ball to the 'front edge' on the right side is more like a middle yardage or more. Anyone ignoring this advice will find out that the false edges from earlier in the round were just little babies compared to this monster. Picture John Daly in 1999 at Pinehurst or Phil Mickelson at Torrey Pines in 2008 w

Hole 15

Hole Name

From The Tee Par 4 • 440 yards • Your last plunge to the bottom of the hill, this elevated tee shot drops down to a fairway that doglegs to the right. Bunkers on the right side guard the hole from the greedy golfer, yet they can be cleared if you have a favorable wind.

From The Fairway

On The Green Make sure to take an extra club to the back left of this green. If the pin is up front or on the right side, go ahead and be aggressive to try and make a late round birdie.

Hole 16

Hole Name

From The Tee Par 3 • 203 yards • If you didn't fall in love with the bunker on #8 earlier in the round... it wanted a chance to charm you again.

From The Fairway

On The Green The 16th green sits on a perch just above the bunker on the other side from the eighth. A good tee shot is huge, but if you do miss, the right side is the best for most hole locations.

Hole 17

Hole Name

From The Tee

From The Fairway Par 4 • 420 yards • A split fairway awaits you. Depending on the hole and tee location, this hole can play like 4 different holes on any given day. From left tee to right pin, left tee to left pin, etc. Towering trees help to shape the hole from the inside out.

On The Green The green is divided into multiple sections as well and as always, being on the proper tier can lead to a much better scoring opportunity.

Hole 18

Hole Name

From The Tee Par 5 • 577 yards • Your final shot at glory, this hole will certainly test your game. A tee shot down to the left has to flirt with the water, but will set up the only chance at clearing the water on your second shot to the edge of the green.

From The Fairway A safer play to the right involves fairway bunkers and playing around the pond.

On The Green The green slopes hard to the water. It is very easy to get greedy and run one by, so be aggressive only if you are under the hole.
