The Upper Peninsula (U.P.) has 54+ golf courses of which 24+ are of the 9-hole variety. Several are around 100 years old and a few are home made that may not be the greatest design but are well maintained and enjoyable. As is the case around the USA, golf is a tough business to make a profit and there have been a few courses go out of business recently. Please support as many of these courses as you can.
Keweenaw Mt was developed on a rugged site during the Depression by the CC and has on site cabins with fireplaces. Waswashkamo is a 1898 Alex Smith design on Mackinaw Island which is overlooked by many but a real classic sleeper you should not miss. Gentz's in Marquette is one of the best conditioned and friendliest courses in the U.P. with a totem pole right in the middle of a fairway. Most of these courses are reasonably priced and should not be passed by.
The number preceding the course is when I played it in my quest for 1000. The year noted after is my first time playing that particular course. The Letter is its rating.
