Recent improvements to 16, 17, & 18 have made the course much fairer and more enjoyable to play. Maintenance has always been top notch and now it is much more enjoyable at a reasonable price for a great course.d
Great value, very well maintained, interesting layout, and without question the fastest golf carts I have ever driven.
Golfed here on a golf package from Boyne Mtn Resort. A beautiful course with lots of challenges. Greens well manicured and a well maintained course. A few challenging blind shots make the round more exciting. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We had to switch days as the weather didn't cooperate and staff had no problem re- arranging our time. Would love to play this course again.
Cooked tree is a beautiful place to golf. Great scenery and very nice and friendly staff. It over looks the bay and is kept in pristine condition.
The golf course is very nice and they have very good afternoon and evening rates. You can tee off at 5pm and still get 18 holes in before dark. Some of the views from the tee boxes are spectacular. If you're going to play gold in the area, this is a very good choice.
We were extremely impressed with this golf course. It is in excellent condition from the fairways to the greens. Offering a varied terrain with many elevation changes it was fun and exciting. Players of all levels will find it demanding. We played on a Monday and had a very good pace of play. We enjoyed the dynamic challenges of its varied holes and liked it as much as we did playing the Bay Harbor courses a few years ago. Be prepared to play target golf on some holes and pay close attention to where the fairways end for several “drop off” fairway holes. The greens are almost impossible –lots of undulations! The Pro Shop person said they kept them slow because they are so difficult to putt. We agree! Golfers of all levels will enjoy this beautifully maintained course away from the crowds. It has some fantastic views of Lake Michigan.
Course was in beautiful condition! I am just an average golfer and found it a bit challenging but not overly so.
Crooked Tree is a great course. Beautiful views of the bay on several of the holes. The course is challenging, but very fair. It's well maintained and the pro shop staff is very professional and helpful. We played this course as part of a package with other Boyne courses and also stayed in the cottages along Crooked Tree. The cottages were wonderful as well. Ours had 3 bedrooms. 1 was a master suite downstairs with a king bed, then upstairs there was a room with a queen bed and another room with 3 twins. Very clean. A great time on the course and hanging out with family for the weekend.
This is one of the nine courses that Boyne either owns or manages. Many place it near the bottom of the list among which of the nine to play. I disagree. I have played all of them many times and each is unique in its' own way. Crooked Tree has a fair layout ( except for #17) a fair greens fee, beautiful varied views of woods and Lake Michigan, a caring staff, and is kept in great condition. The greens are tricky but readable, and if you can master them you are a very good putter. I would rate the Boyne courses in this order 1-9 : Bay Harbor, Alpine, Hills, Heather,Hidden River,Crooked Tree, Monument, Ross,and the Moors.
Extremely friendly and fun pro shop staff. Course is in outstanding condition. Fast golf carts. Beautiful Views of Bay Harbor. Fair Greens. Easily my favorite Boyne course.
