Boyne Resorts, collectively one of the largest golf and resort attractions in North America, features a trio of resort destinations with 10 golf courses, all within a 45-minute drive of one another. The best way to experience this quality and quantity of great golf is through an all-inclusive golf vacation package – BOYNE Golf’s Great Escape.
The “Great Escape Golf Vacation” started over 30-years ago as a way to entice golfers to visit northern Michigan on extended-stay golf trips. Over the decades, it evolved and became one of North America’s best golfing values and a perfect destination for a buddies’ golf trip, couple’s golf getaway, or simply a golf escape with friends.
This package includes five-nights lodging at Boyne Highlands Resort or Boyne Mountain Resort (Sunday check-in/Friday check-out), welcome reception, gift package, breakfasts and dinners daily, unlimited golf on seven of BOYNE’s championship courses (Boyne Mountain-The Monument, The Alpine, Boyne Highlands-The Moor, Donald Ross Memorial, Arthur Hills, The Heather, and Crooked Tree Golf Club), as well as preferred pricing at Boyne’s flagship property, Bay Harbor Golf Club.
In addition, golfers also have the option to custom-build their own packages. Golfers can select which golf courses to play, where to dine (including Boyne Country Club, Bay Harbor Golf Club or Young American’s Dinner Theatre), obtain Odawa Casino gaming vouchers, merchandise packages, spa treatments, custom club fitting, and instruction. Everything can be built into a one week Great Escape.
Beyond golf, Boyne is centered amid one of America’s most beautiful vacation spots. The scenic Lake Michigan beach towns of Charlevoix, Harbor Springs, and Petoskey are minutes away, and a side trip to Mackinac Island is easily managed. Guests can enjoy award-winning spas, waterfront dining, sandy beaches, watersports, gaming, microbreweries, wineries, hiking, biking, tennis, zip-lining, shopping and more capped by the spectacular northern Michigan sunsets.
Packages start at $895 per person and Ron’s throughout the golf season from May 7 through Sept. 15. For more information about Boyne’s Great Escape visit boyne.com/golf/great-escape-golf-vacation, email [email protected], or call (844) 634-5315.
