This is probably the Midwest’s best family resort and spa that also includes great fantastic golf. This resort has enjoyed a $14M renovation since 2003 and that only adds to the luster of this great destination.

The resort features 3 great golf courses. Bear by Jack Nicklaus, Wolverine by Gary Player, and Spruce Run by William Newcomb. These three amazing golf courses will thrill and challenge any golfer but offer fair play for the average or young golfer. Jim McLean also runs a great school on the facility which will help you work out that kink in your swing.

Speaking of kinks. Don’t forget to check out the spa! They will give you first-class treatment for a very affordable price so you have no excuse not to get a great massage after a long day on the links.
