Bay City, Michigan
The Bay Valley Hotel and Resort opened in 1973, the resort is a Desmond Muirhead design that's dominated by very large, fast greens. While the course is well bunkered, it is rarely necessary to carry a bunker to reach a green, and shots hit short can bounce and run on. It's a design feature that is coming back into favor. The challenge is provided by water that can come into play on 13 holes. In addition, they run a well stocked shop and can assist in planning group outings and tournaments for groups of any size.
