Doon Brae Short Course
Now Open
Designed by renowned Michigan architect Ray Hearn, Doon Brae is a new par 3 short course featuring a variety of fairway lies - downhill, uphill, flat, and sidehill. It is set along the lower ski slopes and fully lit for nighttime play. With multiple fairway options on every hole, it invites imaginative tee shots and relaxed, social golf for players of all skill levels. It’s a great way for families to enjoy the game together in a laid-back setting.
The 27-hole Back Yaird Himalayan-style putting course spans 1.5 acres of rolling terrain at the foot of the slopes near the Main Lodge. Open to all ages, it offers a fun and casual challenge where your best line to the hole isn’t always straight, perfect for a friendly family competition or winding down after a round.
