Its getting there.... Marquette's got two very nice courses, Powder Mill and Silver Creek, only played Silver Creek. Houghton/Calumet has 3, 2 of which are very good courses. Iron River has The Tailings which seems to be well rates, Escanaba has I believe three now with the addition of Norway mountain as well.
In Ironwood across the border from where I'm at now, it's an odd situation. I run the 9 hole Mt. Zion course, which only has grass tees and Lightning baskets, but has got a 3/5 rating from four reviews. I can only have it open from April to mid October due to snow and ski hill operations so you cant play year round.
Buuuut you're only a half hour from Highbridge Hills, one hour from Sandy Point or Brandy Lake as well, so it kinda evens out - you can play almost all of them till they're buried in snow.
