Great to be back at Boyne Highlands and capture First light on the 10th hole of The Donald Ross Memorial. Each hole on the course is a replica of a hole that is either designed by Donald Ross or in this case, was significant in his life. Can you name the hole and course this hole is a replica of? It’s where Ross learned his trade as a club maker and golf professional and where under the tutelage of Tom Morris he developed many of his ideas about golf course architecture. ...

Going up the only chair life bike park in the lower peninsula at Boyne Highlands last weekend. Dirt was good, lots fun drops/jumps despite lots of sandy ground.

It’s exciting to see the bike trail systems in Michigan grow and improve. ...
