The traditional, "Country Club" design of The Classic provides a no gimmick honest approach to the game making it a favorite among golf course traditionalists. It is nestled in a beautiful parkland setting overlooking the famed Sturgeon River Valley, and though only 6,348 yards from the tips, it offers enough challenges for the most skilled golfers and wide fairways for the beginner. This outstanding track is a sleeper amidst the big name resort courses in this area, and the greens are kept at a very quick pace and are considered by some players to be the best in Northern Michigan. The scenic number 18 signature hole is a par-4 measuring only 310 yards from the back tees. What makes this finishing hole special is that golfers must hit from one ski slope top to another, and the view back from the green is an unforgettable twenty-mile panoramic view.
