Hitting the Links
Quality and quantity, affordable and alluring, challenging and comfortable. That is golf in Delta County, where it is easy to enjoy two or three rounds at different courses in the same day because of their close proximity and summer nights that allow golf until nearly 10 p.m.
Two professional golfers can recall their Delta County roots and how the local courses helped them rise through the ranks. Veteran LPGA tour member Becky Iverson, who played on the Solheim cup matches in 2000, and four-time Michigan Open champion Scott Hebert both honed their games at the Terrace Bluff Golf and Country Club, an outstanding facility generally ranked No. 1 by area golfers.
There are four other choice 18-hole courses offering a variety of challenges in Delta County in addition to four nine-hole layouts and a par three course. That is 135 holes of golf, or about one hole for every 255 residents, which in turn relates to plenty of openings for tee times. Better still, those tee times are not expensive, topping out around $25 for 18 holes.

The oldest course in the area features two distinct nines, a tree-lined mature front that opened in in 1915 and a wide-open back that opened in 1990 with water on seven holes. The 435-yard 18th is widely considered the toughest closing hole in the Upper Peninsula, with its elevated and undulating green. The par 71 course covers 5,974 yards from the white tees and 6,223 yards from the blue tees. An excellent test of golf also includes a clubhouse with food and bar, and excellent Friday fish-fry. A PGA professional is on staff. Easy to walk and carts are available.

A series of exciting changes to this scenic course in the Escanaba River State Forest will make for enjoyable rounds. The course opened in 1940 and expanded to 18 holes in 1988. Recent improvements have made the hilly challenge much more player friendly. Large, undulating greens and tree-lined fairways on this magnificent 6,500-yard layout provide for a glorious time. Five holes caress the Days River. A delicious Friday night fish-fry is offered. A PGA professional is on staff, and a large, renovated practice facility is available.

The par-72 course can stretch from 6,18 yards to 6,701 yards through tree-lined fairways. The course demands accuracy off the tee and on approach shots, with new trees and water hazards adding to the demands.

There is considerable room for wayward tee shots, but looks are deceiving and scoring is not as easy as it appears. Ponds on four holes and creeks that cross three fairways place a premium on accuracy. The relatively flat par-71 layout plays up to 6,224 yards and is easy to walk.
