The Fortress in Frankenmuth is nice and is in great shape this year. The
Timbers is another very nice course nearby.

Also in Mt. Pleasant are the Pohlcat and Buck's Run. We played the Pohlcat
last year and it was very nice. We played Buck's Run this year and it was
outstanding.

You could go to the Clarkston area and play Shepherd's Hollow. It is an
outstanding track. For dinner, I suggest the Clarkston Union downtown.
Shopping is no problem, the Great Lakes Crossing Mall is in Auburn Hills, 10
minutes away. You will drive by it on I75 as you drive up to Clarkston.
