The Jewel golf course on Mackinac Island. Mackinac is located in the upper peninsula of Michigan in the great lakes. It is only accessible via ferry boats or airplane. No motor vehicles are permitted on the island. We took our golf clubs with us. If you are staying at the Grand Hotel they will pick up your clubs at the ferry dock and deliver them to the club house.
The Jewel golf course is an 18 hole course owned and operated by The Grand Hotel. The green fees were $80 per golfer (hotel guest). The non-guest fees were $100. The jewel is the most beautiful golf course we have played. The front nine (known at the Jewel Nine) was relatively short. The course was in excellent condition. The main thing to keep in mind while playing this course is to play it smart. If you try to cut corners or take big risks this course will punish you. In other words keep it in the fairway. After the front nine a horse carriage will be waiting for you to take you to the back nine. The carriage ride takes about 15 minutes. You will be dropped off at restaurant called The Woods. The food here is very good. I recommend you plan on eating lunch here between nine.
The back nine (known as the Woods Nine) was a ton of fun to play. The longer and narrower fairways were quite challenging. In fact we enjoyed it more than the front. After the round the carriage will return you to the club house. TIP: Ask the carriage driver to take the West Bluff return route. You will not be disappointed!
