SUMMER STARTS HERE …
From a popularity perspective, summer has always had it easy — and no wonder. It’s warm, the days are long, and people change. They play more. They smile more. And somehow, the clock turns backward. For a few short months, everyone’s young again.
boynehighlands.com
At Boyne Highlands, summer traditions run deep — and the effect is even stronger. From the moment you arrive, you’ll notice the difference. Whether you’re golfing, horseback riding, ziplining, taking in the sun or settling into The Spa, stress becomes a foreign concept — and fun finds its way back into your life.
Summer happens for a reason. Don’t let it get away.

THE HEATHER It’s not hype. It’s not pretense. It’s a fact: Celebrating its 50th season, The Heather has earned its reputation as one of the finest championship courses in the entire United States. Bearing all the markings of its legendary designer, this Robert Trent Jones Sr. course has tested the finest names in the game since 1966, playing host to Michigan Amateurs, AJGA Championships, the Michigan State Pro-Am, and The Celebrity Tour.
DONALD ROSS MEMORIAL Comprised of a selection of the greatest holes ever designed by one of the sport’s greatest course designers, the Donald Ross Memorial is the golfing equivalent of a “greatest hits” compilation. The course represents a labor of love, which started as an inspiration, led to years of travel, play and heated deliberation, and culminated in one of the country’s most satisfying courses. A round of golf here looks, feels, and plays every bit like a true Donald Ross design.

THE MOOR Widely regarded as a members’ favorite, The Moor represents a fair but true test of game. The difference lies in the doglegs. Designed with numerous twists and turns, the front nine of The Moor favors right-handed power fade hitters — with holes 1, 2, 7 and 9 showing their curves immediately off the tee. Its reputation as a player’s golf course is so widely known that The Moor has been designated as an AJGA Championship course. Featuring all-new tour bunker sand, The Moor is one of BOYNE’s most versatile, perfect for 9 or 18 holes.

JUNIORS PLAY FREE Beginning at 2pm, all juniors ages 17 and under play for free at Boyne Highlands when accompanied by a paying adult. So bring your favorite kid along for a late afternoon round — or for a discounted round during normal tee time hours. It’s the best way we know to share your love for a game you’ll both play for a lifetime.
FAMILY FUNDAY SUNDAY Family Fundays are Boyne Highlands’ way of getting the whole family together for a day of golf and fun! Every Sunday after 2pm, all season long, join us at The Moor course. Mom and two juniors get to play absolutely FREE when playing with a paying adult.
GEARS is the industry’s most advanced full swing club and body tracking system. Until recently, GEARS was only available to PGA pros, club fitters and club manufacturers. BOYNE Golf Academy is the only golf school in Michigan to make GEARS available to the public.
Described by Golf Digest as “An MRI for Your Golf Game,” GEARS employs a full-body motion capture suit with 26 separate sensors, and six additional sensors attached to the player’s club. The system integrates eight high-speed cameras to capture every movement and processes the resulting data with a holistic analysis of the player’s swing.
The resulting feedback allows the BOYNE Golf Academy professionals to analyze a player’s swing from every angle. Working with that knowledge, both coach and player can quickly hone in on what’s working, and focus on what’s not — resulting in both immediate and long-term improvements.
