Frequently Asked Questions

With five courses at Treetops, which one should I prioritize for my first visit?

For your inaugural Treetops experience, you absolutely must play the Masterpiece. It's Rees Jones's original design here, offering dramatic elevation changes and incredible vistas that truly define the "Treetops" name. If you have time for a second round, the Rick Smith-designed Signature course provides a slightly different, equally engaging challenge with its own stunning views.

Is the Threetops par-3 course worth the extra green fee, or is it just a novelty?

Threetops is far from a novelty-it's a genuinely unique and incredibly fun experience that we highly recommend. You'll play holes that have hosted legends like Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, navigating dramatic drops and challenging greens. It's the perfect way to cap off a day after playing one of the longer courses, offering a memorable, quick round.

When is the ideal time to visit Treetops for the best golf conditions and experience?

We find late spring, typically May into early June, or early fall, from September through mid-October, offers the sweet spot. You'll enjoy fantastic course conditions, often fewer crowds than peak summer, and in the fall, the vibrant Michigan foliage creates an unforgettable backdrop. Just be prepared for cooler mornings in the shoulder seasons.

What's the overall atmosphere and lodging like at Treetops Resort?

You'll find a relaxed, welcoming "up north" Michigan vibe at Treetops, perfect for a golf getaway. The lodging options range from comfortable hotel rooms at the main lodge to larger condos and chalets, ideal for groups. Expect stunning views from many rooms and convenient access to all the resort's amenities.

How challenging are the Treetops courses for an average golfer, and what should I expect?

Treetops courses, especially the Masterpiece and Premier, are known for their significant elevation changes and strategic bunkering, which can be quite a test. You'll definitely want to choose the right tees for your game to fully enjoy the experience. The Tradition course, however, offers a more walkable and slightly less intimidating round, while still providing plenty of character.
