Sharpen your game at our 32-acre practice facility with TrackMan Range or a lesson from the BOYNE Golf Academy.

Arthur Hills
The Arthur Hills course bears all the markings of the master designer. This deceptively challenging course provides sufficient variety and complexity to test even the most experienced golfer.
Donald Ross Memorial
The Donald Ross Memorial is, in essence, a "greatest hits" compilation, selecting from some of the designer's best-known holes from the most renowned courses in his portfolio to create an unforgettable golf course.
The Heather
Designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. in 1966, The Heather was the first BOYNE golf course, and its challenge is absolutely timeless. The course is widely considered to be one of the finest championship courses in the nation.
The Moor
The Moor course at The Highlands is a favorite for those looking for a true test of golf. Its challenging layout has tested some of Michigan’s best golfers, but recent changes have improved the playability and enhanced shot options around the green for all levels of golfer.
Doon Brae
Our new short course, opening in 2025, is designed to be, first and foremost, FUN, allowing golfers of all levels to enjoy the experience. Each golfer can determine their appropriate level of challenge for each round. And yes, you can play it more than once a day!
