My Friends and I just visited this beautiful place... I do not know where to start. Villa's are so nice and comfortable and 8 of us that slept in two villa's we all had own bedroom and bathroom with very very comfortable beds. we enjoyed forest dunes course first day and got stuck playing loop all other days . we all got surprised when we play loop day after from opposite side. Just genius. Pro shop is amazing with a lot great products and souvenirs , food is amazing and all waitresses are bit goofy :). We are definitely coming here next year.

Eric Schurr

Everything is fantastic... The facilities, food, staff and golf courses. The Dunes is exceptional...excellent design and very fair and playable. In great shape. Beautiful. One of my favorites. The Loop is very unique and quite an experience. I love everything about this place.

Mark Puskar

Both courses are in great shape! The Loop plays different both directions. Make sure to eat in the clubhouse. Great food!

Incredible golf course. Great staff!

Amazing golf course! Large and plentiful bunkers placed throughout the course. The course is in the middle of nowhere. The gnats, flyes and other random flying pests are horrible.... No kidding horrible! Otherwise, an amazing course!

Suzanne Butler

Forest Dunes Golf Club : Tom Doak's ingenious new creation at Forest Dunes draws on similar concepts as found in the original St Andrews layout. The 18 "reversible" holes feature two links-style layouts. On alternate days, you can go round the 18-holes in a clockwise direction (Black course), while the following day you can play the same 18-holes anticlockwise (Red course).

George McComb

gorgeous course and helicopter friendly, gotta love it.

Paul Carlsen

Excellant, great service and good food.

With now both Forest Dunes and The Loop, this club boast an offering few others can match. Tom Wieskopf walks you through both forest trees and sandy dunes on the original 18 holes, with 1 extra if needed. Tom Doak and his team put a revolutionary idea into reality with the The Loop. A golf course that can be played two different ways by combining tees and greens. Switching routing every day, the Red course and the Black course share all 18 tee boxes and greens. However by playing them in the opposite direction reveals a totally golf course. A true one of kind experience in Roscommon, MI

Jeff Morris

Ok I was there about 2 months ago maybe the best experience at a golf course EVER!!!! Everyone friendly and helpful. The Condos we stayed at were right on the course and beautiful. We ate there several times and was good. Its not a 5 star restaurant so I don't know what everyone else is complaining about. If you want a Bday 5 star meal dont got to a golf course. The outside bar is great with the fire pit . AWESOME.... Yes its 150 but its worth it

Yes it is expensive. Yes it is awsome!!!

Travis Peitz

Playing this golf course over and over again will not get old no matter the weather or time of the year. The fairways are as luscious as most course’s greens, the amenities are first class, and the food is glorious. Make sure to arrive an hour early and take advantage of the practice facilities - especially the short range.

One of the best courses in the U.S. Front 9 plays through the thick Northern Michigan woods. Back 9 opens up and the greens are some of the best I have ever played. Don't miss this course.... it's a must play!

kurt mulder

Kyle Oliynyk

Lee Lynam

Always enjoy the course. Stayed in one of the cottages. It handled all 8 of us with ease. Big enough with no cramping. Great! Doing it again in 2018.

David Girdley

Kevin Harris

Michael J. Fowler

This is one of the best courses I've ever played, right up there with Trump International in Puerto Rico, Playa Paraiso in Riviera Maya and Arcadia Bluffs. Even after a driving rain storm the fairways and greens were in great condition, a bucket list must play!

Paul Denstaedt

Super facility!

Kitridge Anderson

It is worth going to the middle of nowhere

Randy Sypulski

Kevin Szczesny

Best stamped concrete cart paths I've ever seen and course is conditioned beautifully. Fairways are generous, greens are large, and even from the tips the course doesn't play particularly long. Most shots into green side bunkers will plug so be prepared. No memorable views of the Huron-Manistee National Forest or the Au Sable River. No real memorable views at all come to think of it. Best view of the day goes to the Au Sable River scenic overlook about an hour east of the course and best of all it's free. I expect more for the $150 greens fees. I'm happy that I played it once but unless the opportunity was right I wouldn't pay what they charge to play it again. Also, be prepared to be attacked by gnats. My advice is, in this price range, play Arcadia or Bay Harbor where breathtaking views are everywhere.

Brian Cary

Brandon Harlan

Awesome course and a great staff. Well worth the Trip

Duncan Judson

I've played many of the great courses in the US and Forest Dunes ranks amongst the best of them. Every hole is memorable. Great course to walk if you able. I hope to come back every summer to play it!

Donna Kardos

Dinner was really bad..plus the waitress was worst!! Never again..

Peter Lawson

Play it

Glenn Artz

Mike Geer

Michael Tobiassen

Great track in great shape. I don't know if $150 a round is quite worth it but it is ranked the #3 course in Michigan.

Mike Stickler

Played the loop and it did not disappoint!

Stuart Beauregard

Beautiful course! It's a challenging course for sure but the scenery and setting make it extra special. All of the staff were great! We had dinner afterwards and all of my foursome enjoyed our meals. Highly recommend!

Stevie Cote

This was a family golf weekend so eight of us stayed in The Warbler Cottage. Gorgeous place and we all loved and enjoyed it. We played The Loop on Saturday and Forest Dunes on Sunday. Forest Dunes is beautiful and challenging. The Loop was a bit too rustic for all of especially for the money. The black flies and gnats were incessant and biting on both courses especially on The Loop and were not deterred by any of our bug sprays.

Denny Kruisenga

Having a great time at Forest Dunes with Nick & -Rick Kruisenga and Ralph Johnson. Playing the Loop course today. Can't wait.

Jason Clark

The staff is outstanding from the bag drop to the Golf Pros to Guest Services to caddies. The facilities are charming and immaculate. And the golf is AMAZING. You feel like the course is all yours as you play your way through the Huron National Forest. The fairways and greens are fast and flawless. And each hole is challenging and full of character. Stay overnight and play The Loop across the road, a reversible links course and an architectural and engineering marvel that plays clockwise one day and counterclockwise the next to the same 18 greens! The best golf in Michigan!

Peter Miller

William Morgan

Played the Loop (Black) today. The design is amazing...all the way we kept turning around to see what the hole/green would look like from the Red perspective. Conditioning is excellent - both fairways and greens are Very firm and very fast. All in all a unique golf experience! The green complexes are extremely difficult to negotiate...do not come here expecting to play to your handicap. You will appreciate an approach from around the green that ends up 10-15 feet from the hole as a good shot. To be honest, more people will likely enjoy it if the green speeds are slowed down just a bit. No complaints with service at all. Very much enjoyed the opportunity to walk and use a caddie.

Travis Belcouner

Sorry, for the late review, we played 6 months ago... Every year... 4-5 years straight! This is actually the first review from me and I should have reviewed this course a few times! This is without a doubt Michigan's premier course. Forest Dunes Golf Club, simply put, will become the mecca of Michigan golf more so now than ever with the addition of "The Loop". As a golf enthusiast when I review a course I have played whether it be on google, tripadvisor, or any other rating system I review exactly what I am there for; golfing. The condition of this course is amazing. Especially for being in the ~$150 range you can tell they meticulously and methodically manicure this course. During our stay, peak season, the condition was immaculate! Our tee off was early morning each day and on arrival we watched as the grounds crew just swarm the course every morning literally touching all aspects of each hole. Condition: A+ Difficultly of the course is pretty high if you're a casual golfer 80's is great. The concept "Forest Dunes" is unique! Front 9 in the Forest and Back 9 in the Dunes. Mentally and physically challenging as gameplay changes completely when you make the turn. Great concept. Difficultly: A+ Although, you can tell this course was carved into the woods to create the front 9 it was done very tastefully. You can also tell that the natural landscaping of the dunes is exactly that; natural. It looks and plays incredibly. Golf is about the natural elements of life so wind, weather and bugs are a mute point in any golf review. They have successfully captured the natural beauty of northern Michigan. All-in-all the golf here is unique, difficult, and pure. When "The Loop" opens this club will be taking it's first step to "owning" Michigan golf. 100% reversible course!? The first in the world of it's kind! When we were talking to the pro-shop desk they told us their "Loop" Superintendent or Director was from our neck of the woods in Chicago. We were shocked they were able to get a Chicago Golf Club Director to spearhead their new course "The Loop". As the Chicago Golf Club is probably the most exclusive club in the nation. "The Loop" is going to be phenomenal in concept and play! Our week long trip will have 3 days here alone! Forest Dunes and Both plays on "The Loop" (when is opens)!! Forest Dunes is our number 1 course in Michigan. However, it might fall to number 2 when "The Loop" opens. Regardless, Forest Dunes Golf Club respectfully owns the number 1 spot for golf destination! Awesome Job!! See you in the Summer!

미시건주에서 최상위 골프장으로 손색이 없어요. Dunes코스와 Forest코스를 절묘하게 조화시켜, 프런트9홀과 백9홀이 전혀 다른 느낌을 주었어요. 미시건에 간다면 꼭 한번 라운딩 해보기를 권해요. 다만 조금 외진곳에 위치하다보니, 불편한 점은 있어요...

Fred Altvater

Au Sable lodge & Restaurant are beautiful. Weiskopf course as good as it gets. Doak's Loop is must play. Villas are large & comfortable. Perfect for any family or group.

Robert Garvelink

One of the best golf resorts in the world. The greens are fast and the course conditions are amazing. Easily a top 50 golf course in the U.S. A must play if you are an avid golfer.

Good course. Overpriced.

Debra Marzka

SPECTACULAR! Even if you Don't golf, the view is beautiful. They aim to please. The buildings are inviting. The main building gives you the feeling that you just stepped back in time. Beautiful carved wood and tall impressive ceilings. Just beautiful.

Friendly help, awesome clubhouse. Well manicured, waste bunkers fun, but basically flat course. Enjoyed it, but hard to justify the $150 greens fee.

Dinner was terrible. Food took 2hours and they were not even busy. Food was cold. (VERY pricy for crapy dinner, oh' by the way was mom's birthday). Thanks -

Without a doubt my favorite course in Michigan. There's nothing like it. Spot on service, pristine course and greens, incredible views.

John Dean

Beautiful course with a unique design. I would highly recommend to anyone!

Robert Wyrembelski

Loop course is WAAAAY over priced for the conditions. $160 for a course that fairways that still show the seeding lines and barely have any grass. Very disappointed in the course. (Exception: The greens are in great condition) The staff is top notch. Will not be returning to play the loop....ever.

David Woodrow

Hidden gem. Unbelievavble amenities and golf courses. Come for 3 rounds of golf at a minimum.

Lauren Koslakiewicz

Cory Richmond

This course is super nice! but for the price they have to get GPS! And you need it at this place.

R Campbell

As others note, this is one of the best tracks in Michigan. The prices are reasonable considering the conditions and design. The facilities and upkeep are phenomenal. Many of the paths are brick rather than the usual dirt or asphalt. The course is a bit misunderstood. This isn't all bunkers and waste areas. Most of the front nine is tight tree lined holes. It isn't until the back nine especially last few holes the sand is everywhere. There is also a bonus 19th hole par 3 that is a fun shot.

Ben Shoemaker

Loved the Loop. Starter will tell you to take 10-15 yards off approaches, but it played more like 20-25 yards short for my foursome. Highly recommended.

Bay Paul

Is this heaven? No it’s Forest Dunes. I took the fam up to Forest Dunes this past weekend and was blown away by the course and accommodations. The Villas are amazing and the course is phenomenal. Didn’t play the Loop yet but going back. Also my kids really enjoyed the new jumbo putting green - HillTop. The food was excellent in the restaurant and the outside golf staff was great. My son left his wedge on #6 and the staff delivered it to our villa. Definitely recommend this place

Mark Pieniozek

Beautiful golf course, starter was very informative and friendly.

Brett Einheuser

For the hype.... not up to par sorry guys. Played almost 80 rounds this year and never was treated worse. The ranger made us feel terrible as we got lost with directions from his staff!! Tried to play all 36 for a final trip but his power trip cost them a second round and future business. Course was in nice shape I'll say that, but for the hype and $ go to Arcadia that is a true top 5 EXPERIENCE! Work on service and lay out the facilty better.. seems like enough people have made mention of this on here maybe it will sink in.

David Graham

Awesome golf

Jack Pearl

Great course. Bring your sand wedge.

Brian Cairns

The Loop is best in state

Heartsill Ragon

Beautifully manicured course, super-fine clubhouse, great professional and service staff. I've played a number of top notch courses across the nation and Forest Dunes is one of the best...!

We signed up for the Tribute package and we were sent a confirmation for full price. When I called we were told the person taking the reservations was new and this would be a teaching moment, this was mid July. We had people knocking on our door half of the night looking for someone that was not in our room and yelling up and down the hallway looking for someone. The gnats were unbearable. No one fills in their divots on the fairways or greens. We waited on every hole for the group in front of us. at one point there were three groups on one hole. The hair in my food at breakfast was not appealing at all. For the price they charge I will not be back. There are too many other courses in Michigan to chose from that doesn't charge what Forest Dunes charges that are more accommodating and just as nice a course.

Drew Gentry

Jon Connolly

I went on a guys golf trip to Forrest Dunes and Treetops. We played the loop both ways and Forrest Dunes. The Loop is a fantastic links course either direction. Very firm and fast. As good as anything at Bandon (minus the ocean views). Forrest Dunes is a fantastic course. Very memorable holes in great condition. One of my favorites.

Jacob Mann

Pretty neat place.

Brian Rand

Out of the way but what a great course and clubhouse!

Michael Nowacki

The Loop is a very special place in the universe of golf architecture. There aren't many reversible courses in the world and this is a modern marvel. I lowered my expectations after seeing pictures (pics never do a course justice), but the course blew my expectations away. The fairways are gigantic, as big as they get. That makes it fun for the high handicapper because he/she isn't re-teeing or taking many drops. The greens are normal size, but they play firm and have big undulations. It plays true links style and it is hard to hold some of the greens. That is part of its genius and what makes it fun--you can run it into the green or hit to the flat part of the green. I'd describe the course for a +10 handicap to be hard to par, but easy to bogey. When I played the greens were pure and rolled perfectly. If it weren't reversible, I'd give it an 8 on the Doak Scale. Since it is reversible, I'd give it a 9. The Weiskopf course has a lot of eye candy, fantastic conditioning, and some very good holes. It's a very good course. If I had 10 rounds at Forest Dunes though, it'd be 8 on The Loop and 2 on Weiskopf.

Ricky Potts

This is a special place. The course is amazing, the lodging is unforgettable... Just an amazing property. I am looking forward to their new layout coming soon. If you get the chance, play here. It is SO pure.

Stopped in for a shirt! Very lovely attire!

Forest Dunes is home to three fabulous golf courses – on two layouts: The Forest Dunes Course and the Loop, which is played clockwise the first day and counterclockwise the next. The Forest Dunes Course was designed by former PGA TOUR champion turned golf course architect Tom Weiskopf. The course features several elements that Weiskopf is known for: A split fairway, a drivable par 4 and a 19th hole – in case you need to settle a bet! It’s a short, 117-yard par 3 that plays over water to a green with a bunker in the middle of the green, much like the 6th hole at Riviera Country Club in California. The back nine opens up and is highlighted by rugged native sand dune areas with thick underbrush crossing and bordering several fairways and greens. Water comes into play on three holes on the back nine, four if you count 19. On the front, you don’t see any water until the 8th hole. This would be The Dunes. Before your round, take advantage of Forest Dunes’ incredible practice facility, included with your paid greens fee. There’s a full-length grass driving range where you can hit every club in your bag, a short game area complete with a grass bunker and a large practice putting green. Up above the practice area is a two-acre, 18 hole putting course. Most Memorable Hole: Number 19: Par 3, 117 yards. Just in case you haven’t had your fill quite yet, Weiskopf gives you one final opportunity; it’s also a great place to settle bets – or start a new one. It’s a short par 3 that plays slightly downhill over sand dunes and water to a large green with a pot bunker in the middle, reminiscent of the sixth hole at Riviera Country Club. Find the green, make the putt, collect some dough. Easy! Forest Dunes features an impressive 15,000 square foot clubhouse that includes a well-stocked pro shop, beautifully appointed locker rooms with showers for both men and women and Sagamore’s Restaurant, with both formal and private dining rooms. The food is outstanding with all three meals being served, peppers, red beans and just the right mix of chili spices. Steaks and burgers are also very popular at Sagamore’s. Forest Dunes offers some tremendous stay and play opportunities with several lodging options. Now you can play all three courses without leaving the property. The Lake Au Sable Lodge is located just a long putt from the first tee. This two-story lodge features 11 standard rooms and two suites and exemplifies the same Adirondack them of the clubhouse. In the last couple of years, Forest Dunes has built several villas that are located within walking distance of the clubhouse and across the road from the start of The Loop. Both two and four-bedroom villas are available The two bedrooms are actually quite spacious; each has a small kitchenette, small living area, two bathrooms and four total beds. Four-bedroom units feature the same amenities, along with 4.5 bathrooms and a mix of king and queen beds. As you make your way around the course, you can’t help but admire the beauty of the sculpted tee boxes many of which are surrounded by wild fescue rough, exhibiting traits of ocean links layout – minus the water! Weiskopf has done a marvelous job of working this design into the natural surroundings; rarely does a hole look or feel out of place. What The Loop offers in a rugged Scottish feel, Forest Dunes offers golfers a beautiful nature setting. As resort course go, the conditioning at Forest Dunes is second to none. Aesthetically, Forest Dunes is a joy to behold. Exquisitely designed white sand bunkers accentuate the fairways and green complexes, and the sparse use of water is a refreshing change of pace from many courses. For the most part, there is plenty of room around the greens; the areas in front are often accessible with a bump and run shot. Miss to either side of the green and you’ll have to rely on an excellent short game, especially with a lob wedge. A good sand game is also something that will prove valuable as it’s virtually impossible to get around this layout with experiencing it at least once.

Chris Foetisch

Best golf course in Michigan! Hands down! Great club house and staff. Food is excellent!

James Griffith Dewling

My bachelor party was hosted this and this review is for hosting a long weekend group at Forest Dunes. Friday Loop Black, Saturday Loop Red and Forest Dunes in the afternoon. Sunday we played Forest Dunes again. If you are a serious golfer it is the perfect set up. We stayed on property with 8 players. You can pick from an assortment of types of rooms/units/houses. General Manager Chad and his staff took special attention to our group to make sure everything was ready for us each day of play. There was even a range attendant at the range waiting for us before we went to the 1st tee. We ate all of our meals at the course and there was no reason to ever leave the property. As for the golf. It's would be hard to find better on one property. The "New" Loop is so unique and a wonderful challenge. The design is incredible and more so spectacular when you realize you can play every hole two directions. Its pure artwork and architectural brilliance. If you are a serious golfer who studies the game, it will leave you speechless when standing on greens and looking at the hole in different view points. Incredible. Enjoy.

Bob Guilford

Beautiful course.
