Golfing in central Michigan area is a hidden gem, and easy to get to for your next golf getaway. Since Mt. Pleasant is located about 2 hours from most major cities in the lower peninsula, it makes the perfect destination to meet with friends for your next weekend golf getaway.

Start off playing a more “relaxed” style of course at Riverwood Resort to get you loosened up for your golf getaway.

After you check into your hotel at one of the many convenient lodging options, head to dinner at a local favorite, Mountain Town Station. This staple brewery located in Downtown Mt. Pleasant will offer your group a wide array of delectable options from their famous Scotch Eggs to a mouth-watering Stone Fired Pizza. Round out your meal by ordering one of the many hand-crafted beers on tap.  Looking for something more upscale? Conveniently located under the same roof, Camille’s Prime is an intimate restaurant featuring certified prime-grade black Angus steaks, fresh seafood, and upscale comfort food.

Now that you’ve warmed up, tackle the championship-style links of Bucks Run Golf Club. The majestic scenery will have you thinking you’re in northern Michigan! After your first round at Bucks Run, stay on property and grab lunch at the Quarry Grill. They offer amazing burgers, sandwiches, and salads to refuel you after a long morning of golf. Then you’re ready to tackle the back nine that afternoon as you officially complete one of the top ranked courses in the state!

Head back to the hotel to freshen up as you prepare for another fun-filled evening. For this evening’s dining, try one of Mt. Pleasant’s newest restaurants, Wood Shop Social Kitchen and Bar. This gastropub is brought to you by Executive Chef Jim Wood offers New American cuisine, featuring an extensive menu of updated standard and original cocktails, along with a curated selection of bourbon and wine. After dinner experience the Mt. Pleasant nightlife at the largest gaming floor in Michigan at Soaring Eagle Casino or visit one of the famous Mt. Pleasant landmarks, Rubbles Bar, for some live music.

Close out your amazing golf weekend at the famous PohlCat Golf Course that has been carefully designed by former PGA touring pro Dan Pohl. This course will test your skills as each hole it’s unique design will have you coming back to play again in no time!

Before heading home grab a sandwich at Max and Emily’s Eatery or a burger from Freddie’s Tavern. If you have a little time to spare before hitting the road, take a kayak trip down the Chippewa River or hike one of our breathtaking parks or nature preserves.
