Four-course resort property near Harbor Springs with the Heather and Donald Ross Memorial layouts, ski infrastructure, spa, and stay-and-play packaging.
Boyne Highlands is the flagship resort in the Boyne family of properties, and it operates with the infrastructure of a four-season destination that converts from ski resort to golf resort each May. The 410 rooms range from standard hotel accommodations to larger units suitable for groups, and four golf courses operate on the property. Two of those courses, the Heather and the Donald Ross Memorial, are profiled in this guide and represent the strongest reason to base a trip here.
The Heather, a Robert Trent Jones Sr. championship design recently renovated, is the resort's top course and plays at a level well above the typical resort offering. The Donald Ross Memorial recreates 18 of Ross's most celebrated holes from courses across the country, providing a composite tour of one architect's body of work. Two additional on-site courses extend the options for multi-day stays.
Stay-and-play packages are the primary booking model and represent genuine value, bundling lodging with multiple rounds at rates below what separate booking would total. The resort's location near Harbor Springs places guests within reach of Bay Harbor Golf Club, the Tunnel of Trees drive, and the Petoskey dining and shopping corridor. At $150 to $280 per night, Boyne Highlands provides the most golf per dollar of any property in the Northern Michigan corridor.
