And you're thinking about getting your dad yet another hammer? Not that we have anything against hammers, but seriously — let us help you give your dad the gift of golf at one of the most highly regarded golf courses in the entire country — Forest Dunes Golf Club.

Forest Dunes Golf Club, located in Roscommon, is arguably the finest round of pure golf Michigan has to offer, made evident by the seemingly endless list of accolades it has earned since 2002. Often regarded as a blend of Pine Valley and a pinch of Augusta National, Forest Dunes is a fantastic way to head into the heart of the 2011 golf season.

How good is the golf at Forest Dunes? Here's what the experts say:
#1 Course in America, Golf World Magazine Readers Choice
#1 Golf Digest Best New Upscale Golf Course in America

Forest Dunes Golf Club is also extremely proud to be included in Golf Digest’s coveted 100 Greatest Golf Courses in America in 2011 — the very same list as Augusta National, Pebble Beach, and Shinnecock Hills.

Meticulous attention to detail and the absolute pristine playing conditions make Forest Dunes the ideal poster child for Northern Michigan golf. Nearly surrounded by the Huron National Forest, Forest Dunes is situated on roughly 1,200 acres of Gold Audubon International Signature Sanctuary landscape — one of only 21 courses worldwide to carry such distinction. The first nine of this Tom Weiskopf Signature Course is neatly tucked amongst Northern Michigan greenery, while the back nine is carved through sand dunes and tall grasses. Ranging from the 5,032-yard forward tees to a championship-length, 7,141-yard, postcard photo-filled paces, Forest Dunes offers an unforgettable experience for golfers of all skill levels.

When finished with any of your rounds for the day, stop in at Tocco’s for some relaxed dining with an impressive array of making-the-turn fare to choose from. If something more formal suits your fancy, make a reservation at Sangomore's for the Maryland Crab Cake appetizer, rack of lamb main course and elegant creme brule for desert. You may also want to be sure to hit the pro shop for a souvenir or three. Stocked with memorabilia items like Forest Dunes logo shirts, jackets, caps or logo golf balls, you're sure to find something to commemorate your visit.

Forest Dunes Golf Club also offers luxury lodging accommodations, fine dining and superb banquet facilities to host intimate gatherings or unforgettable events for up to 125 people. In addition, you can discuss real estate opportunities with staff, along with perk-filled memberships, which include pampering services from the spa and complimentary access to the fitness facility.
