Tullymore course at the Tullymore Golf Resort is routed through woods and water with the Shinglebolt Creek meandering into play on a few holes.
In recent years, Michigan has become a serious golfing destination and the Tullymore Golf Resort (formerly the St Ives Resort) in Stanwood is doing its bit to help the cause. There are two courses at Tullymore and the first to be laid out was simply named “St Ives” but it was the second course, designed by Jim Engh, which grabbed world attention when it opened for play in 2002.
“With its wooded vegetation and wetland preserves, Tullymore has a character unique to the world of golf,” wrote Engh. Tullymore is routed through woods and water with the Shinglebolt Creek meandering into play on a few holes. This is a vast site of some 800 acres but the Tullymore playing surfaces are polished to perfection. The closing hole is considered to be one the greatest and most photogenic finishing holes in Michigan.
The hardest hole on the course comes early in the round at the 456-yard 2nd, and it perfectly demonstrates two distinctive Tullymore trademarks, the first of which is the long squiggly fairway bunker and the second is the long narrow green. Golfers who can come to terms with these two unnerving design features during a round will inevitably score well.
The latest ranking of the Top 100 Golf Courses in the World serves as the ultimate global golf bucket list. Most members of our World Top 100 Panel are seasoned golfers, each playing 20-30 of these courses annually while travelling extensively over decades to form their opinions on others. We recognise that opinions vary—even among our panel members. Rankings are subjective, and there are undoubtedly 50 or more courses in the UK and USA alone that could easily fit onto this list.
