Michigan golf trips · One honest flat fee
Your Michigan golf trip, planned right.
I'm Mike. I plan Michigan golf trips for groups of 4 to 20+, the courses, the order, where to stay, where to eat, all of it. I book nothing and take no commissions, so the only person my advice serves is you.
Ten-plus years. Hundreds of rounds. One honest read.

Who plans your trip
Michigan has far more to offer than most people get to see, and a golf trip is one of the best ways to find it.
I've spent years driving all over this state with my best friends, playing golf and making the kind of memories nothing else touches. There are a hundred ways to put a Michigan golf trip together, and I take the guesswork out of it.
I grew up in Northeast Michigan. I know the small towns, I know which routes cut real time off a drive, and I know how to set up lodging so you get what you're after.
My first job was on the maintenance crew at Lakewood Shores in Oscoda, the summer after high school, cutting and stacking the sod on those bunker walls by hand. You learn a golf course differently when you've been out on it at five in the morning with a shovel.

The Availability Guarantee
Plans meet the real world, and sometimes a tee time or a room is gone by the time you call. If anything in your plan isn't available when you book it on the schedule I give you, I fix it free until your trip is fully booked. You're never left holding a plan that doesn't work.
Bay Harbor. Arcadia Bluffs. Forest Dunes. Boyne. The Midwest's best golf, all in one trip.
Why Groups Hire Me
The trip you would have to build yourself.
15-plus hours across courses, tee sheets, and rentals.
Hours lost to a base picked for the rental, not the golf.
The best slots gone by the time you call.
An endless group chat where nobody decides.
Hope it all comes together.
Every trip built from scratch for the group taking it.
I don't disappear after I send the plan.
Most planners hand you a PDF and you never hear from them again. That's not me. I've spent ten-plus years planning these trips for buddies, families, and groups that come back year after year, and these are the trips I take myself. I'm around the whole way through, from the first planning call to the last round, and I'm always happy to answer whatever comes up, where to grab dinner, what to do if the weather turns, any of it. You're not buying a document. You're getting a real person who knows these towns and actually cares how your trip goes.
Why the fee is the easy part
The smallest number on your trip.
Here's the honest math, no spin. Set your group and the kind of trip, and watch where the money actually goes. The planning fee is the thin gold sliver at the end.
Group size
Kind of trip
On this trip the planning fee is about 9% of the total. That's $188 a head.
Figures are honest ballpark estimates to show proportion, not a quote. Your real plan is built to your group and budget.
A Real Trip I Built
A real four-day trip, routed the way I'd route yours.
Four days in Northern Michigan, routed the way a decade of experience routes it.
- DRIVE NORTH
Day 1
Arrive and ease in
An arrival-day round routed off the drive north, so the trip starts on the way up instead of after it. Check into a walkable summer town base with waterfront evenings worth coming back to, dinner downtown, nobody touches a car again tonight.
Dinner is a short walk from the downtown home base.
- 25 MIN
Day 2
The round the trip is built around
The marquee links round above Lake Michigan in the morning, when the wind is down and the light is right. The whole itinerary is sequenced to protect this tee time. Afternoon free, elevated dinner back in town.
Drive from home base: about 25 minutes.
- 25 MIN
Day 3
A different kind of test
The inland tree-lined contrast day plays through rolling terrain, a complete change of pace from the water. Strong golf that does not try to outdo yesterday. Casual night back in town.
Drive from home base: about 25 minutes.
- 5 MIN
Day 4
Close five minutes from the door
The walkable golden-age closer in town. Play, grab lunch, and drive home from the course with no backtracking. The trip ends on a high note instead of a logistics problem.
Drive from home base: five minutes.

Not sure where to start?
Answer five quick questions and I'll point you in the right direction.
FAQ
Common questions.
You get the whole plan. Which courses and in what order, where to stay, where to eat, and a booking sequence with links and tee time windows so your group can lock it in. On White Glove I book the tee times and lodging myself and stay your single point of contact through departure.
After you reach out, I'll ask a few follow-up questions to understand the scope of your trip. Once I have a clear picture, I'll share a flat fee and send a Stripe link. After payment is received, I get to work and deliver on the timeline that matches your plan.
I never mark up course or lodging rates.
The Weekender is delivered within 24 hours of payment. Premium plans arrive within 5 business days. The clock starts the moment payment clears.
Peak season (June–September) fills 3–4 months out for premier courses. I recommend reaching out as soon as you have rough dates and group size. I can always refine it later.
Plans are built for groups of 4 to 20+. The Premium Trip Plan covers up to around 20 golfers for the same flat fee, so most groups fit without stepping up to White Glove.
The Weekender and Premium plans include booking links and strategy so your group can book directly. The White Glove Experience includes full booking on your behalf.
Life happens. Premium plans include 2–3 revision rounds, and I work with your group if dates or courses need to shift. White Glove clients have dedicated support throughout the planning process.
Not ready to fill this out? Fair enough. Go look at the map first, seven regions with my honest read on each.
