Water comes into play on six holes and the majority of greens are protected by challenging bunkers. The layout winds its way up and over and down and around mountainous terrain and features perfectly manicured and tree-lined fairways. Choose the tees that best suit your game and you’re in for a really good time! Ladies typically play from the Stone tees (5,060/64.6/129).

I found that the Forward tees (6038 yards/69.6/137) provided a substantial test and still let me leave with a little dignity. From the Back tees, TimberStone plays 6,937 yards with a course rating of 74.5 and a slope of 150. Six sets of tees provide suitable playing yardages for every level of golfer. TimberStone was awarded 5 Stars in Golf Digest's Places to play in 2008 and remains the area’s only 5-star golf course. TimberStone Golf Course was designed by renowned Michigan golf architect Jerry Matthews and opened for play in 1997. Famers is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and has some of the best prime rib I have ever had! There is sports memorabilia throughout the restaurant from many different sports.

The main dining venue is Famers Restaurant, which also happens to be the Upper Peninsula's Sports Hall of Fame. Pine Mountain Resorts offers guests both hotel accommodations in The Lodge as well as several condo accommodations for larger groups. The golf course is located a few minutes away from the Inn and condos, which sit at the foot of the ski hill and chair lifts. Pine Mountain offers the best of both worlds to sports enthusiasts in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula it’s a ski resort in the winter and a golf resort in the summer. TimberStone is the golf part of the Pine Mountain Ski & Golf Resort. It’s even easier to get to if you live in Wisconsin most of the license plates we saw in the parking lot were from the Badger State. Go over the Mackinac Bridge, and then take Route 2 West to Iron Mountain where you will find TimberStone. If you want to play the best golf in the state of Michigan, head north, past Gaylord and Traverse City.
