This is an upscale resort where there's a lot for a family to participate in.
We stayed at McGuire's as a group of 20 on our annual golf outing. We were treated like queens for the entire 3 days we were there. The evening waitstaff remembered previous day's drink orders, made suggestions, and were very attentive to our needs and whims. We found the value to be outstanding and the layout to be great for groups. The course was beautiful as well as playable for all of our varied levels.
McGuires Resort has activities year round. An 18 hole and 9 hole course that are both challenging yet forgiving are just a short walk from any room. The rooms are spacious and clean. There is a main dining area and Curlys Pub where the food is very good. Winter activities include a sliding hill, a lit cross country ski trail and access to hundreds of mile of snowmobile trails. Also there is an indoor pool with hot tub and changing rooms. The pool area has a game area with a fireplace some games and tables to sit and talk. We have been to Mcguires many times over the years with family and friends. A pleasant and fun time.
We stayed at McGuire's Resort in Cadillac on our way to Traverse City. The room was very clean & quiet. They allow dogs in The Cedars section. Although these rooms have only 2 double beds. We managed to get by. The pool, Sauna, & hot tub were excellent! The Grandkids loved the deep pool! Beautiful golf course surrounding the Resort. I would highly recommend this Resort. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you for being pet friendly!
Went on golf outing with 3 other couples. We were on a group deal and price was excellent. Also, enjoyed the course..challenging enough for the guys, yet enjoyable for the ladies. On the plus side, Curlie's food and salad bar were good. Waitress, Jeannie superb! She went above and beyond to make us welcome, even putting Olympics on one tv set and Tiger baseball on the other. We had planned on getting a happy hour drink and eating in Cadilac. Very glad we stayed, thanks to Jeannie. Negative side: beds very firm, you can hear noisy latecomers through the doors. Air conditioner loud. So not a restful night. Beware of breakfast sausage..must be fat gram city! Guys on trip, had GI distress. Us girls were smart enough to pass on the breakfast buffet meat. The eggs are a little gross and hash browns probably fat loaded too. Advise sticking to yogurt, fruit, cereal and toast or bringing your own protein breakfast bar. The hallways, elevator floor could use a good vacuuming. Also, the plywood base of the bed visible..so not an impressive impression when you enter your room. You will be alright if you go with the attitude: Affordable golfing with "just okay" resort.
The staff are so accommodating I literally felt like royalty! I cannot say enough about how great it was, amazing rooms, THE BEST food & I can't go on enough about the staff. SO wonderful, shout out to Kayla, Josh & Andrea especially.
The "included breakfast" is not worth crossing the street for, if you eat breakfast one time in the restaurant you will not go back. The eggs are not edible, and the "meat" is very under cooked. If you golf it may be ok but the pool is nothing special and and there is not much else to do in walking distance.
Do not Stay and Play, Play and GO!!! The course was great but the rooms, food and service Not Good! Unfriendly and a bit Rude was the norm for the 2 night stay, but was there to play golf and that was Great. Stay somewhere else!
McGuires Resort is an all-season resort that we visited during the summer for a golf outing with friends. We purchased a package that included two days of golf, a night's lodging, and a breakfast. They have an 18-hole course and a 9-hole course, but this review is just for the 18-hole course. The course is a narrow tree-lined course with numerous blind shots especially for the men from their tees. When we played the course could have used more maintenance - the grass in the fairways were a bit weedy and quite long.The rooms were adequate - clean and quite roomy. I really enjoyed the breakfast buffet, but someone else in our group thought it was limited. We had a great time while playing the course. This is not the place to go if you expect pristine conditions or an impressive golf course, but it is a very affordable place to go golfing with friends.
The best part of the establishment is the soup and salad buffet. The food is good, the prices are comparable to other establishments, but it's not any better.
