This prestigious recognition shines a spotlight on the Upper Peninsula's unique place in the world of golf, said Tom Nemacheck, executive director of the Upper Peninsula Travel and Recreation Association.

"Add in the variety of nearby lodging — from cozy forest cabins to upscale hotels — and you have the full package."
What truly sets Upper Peninsula golf apart, Nemacheck said, is the harmony between play and place. "Every round comes with views you can't find anywhere else — brilliant fall foliage, lush summer greens, and the serenity of the Northwoods. It's golf the way it was meant to be."
