Eighty-one holes of golf including the Jones Sr. Masterpiece, with recently renovated rooms and stay-and-play packages that represent the best value in the Gaylord corridor.
Treetops Resort in Gaylord operates 81 holes of golf across five courses, a volume that supports multi-day stays without repeating a layout. The Masterpiece, a Robert Trent Jones Sr. design from 1987, is the flagship: a par-71 playing 7,028 yards with dramatic elevation changes up to 300 feet that earned it recognition as the second-best new course in America by Golf Digest upon opening. The remaining four courses span a range of designers and difficulty levels.
The approximately 240 rooms have been recently renovated, and the property's infrastructure includes dining, a fitness center, and ski slopes that convert to summer activities. The resort's position in Gaylord, an hour and 15 minutes east of Traverse City, places it outside the immediate Traverse City orbit. Forest Dunes in Roscommon is approximately 45 minutes to the south, making Treetops a logical pairing for golfers building a trip around the Gaylord-Roscommon corridor.
Stay-and-play packages at $100 to $200 per night represent strong value for the amount of golf available. Treetops is the property that makes a four-round, three-night trip financially accessible without sacrificing the quality that the Masterpiece provides.
