I’m looking to plan a golf trip in the Midwest and would love to hear your suggestions on the best golf resorts. It’s important for me to find places that not only have great golf courses but also offer comfortable accommodations and maybe some fun activities to do after a long day of golfing.

Here are a few things I’m considering:

  • Course Quality: Any resorts with top-rated courses?
  • Amenities: What kind of facilities do these resorts offer?
  • Budget: I’m hoping to find some cost-effective options without sacrificing quality.
  • Personal Experiences: If you’ve been to any resorts that stood out to you, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience.

Thanks in advance for your help! I’m excited to plan this trip and make some great memories on the course!

I highly recommend the Whistling Straits in Wisconsin. The views of Lake Michigan are breathtaking, and the course is challenging yet fair for all skill levels.

For beginners, I’d suggest checking out the Grand Geneva Resort in Lake Geneva, WI. It’s got some easier courses and beautiful scenery. Perfect for learning!

Have you considered Prairie Dunes in Kansas? It’s been rated highly and offers a unique layout that tests every aspect of your game. Just beautiful!

I haven’t! How does it stack up against courses like Whistling Straits?

Prairie Dunes is definitely on par! It’s a different vibe though, more open and with stunning natural landscapes. Both are must-plays for different reasons.

Sometimes I wonder if these courses get too much hype. I played at Prairie Dunes and found it a bit overrated – too easy for my taste!

That’s interesting! Not everyone likes the same kind of course though, right? What’s your ideal challenge?

14

I just want a course where I can enjoy nature while playing, like at Treetops in Michigan! Scenery matters a lot to me.

I love Grand Geneva too! Their dining options are excellent, and the breakfast buffet is a great way to fuel up for a day on the course!

I’ve heard great things about Sweetgrass Golf Club in Michigan! It offers beautiful views and has a laid-back vibe. They also have some nice hiking trails nearby for non-golfing days.

Sweetgrass is fantastic! I spent an awesome weekend there. The amenities, including the spa, are top-notch, which makes it a perfect all-in-one destination.

For those on a budget, I suggest checking out Stone Creek Golf Club in Iowa. It’s affordable and has some nice packages that include accommodations and meals.
